More to the actual point. What is a good post?

Is it one that makes you laugh? think?   Is it something you agree with?

Is this a good post?
What makes it a bad post?


I remember myself thanking posts i agree'd with, was intertaining in some way, and also those that made me think.

Why would you care if this post was thanked?

Honestly.... My biggest complaint is that there are too many subforums and that peeps aren't always posting in the right ones.

VMs would be nice too... would probably reduce some shitposting.

There doesn't seem to be a way to get a list of subscribed threads with no e-mail notification. I usually browse forums through a mixture of that view and the new posts search. Dunno if anyone else cares about it.

I don't like change so make this new website into a duplicate of totse or zoklet. Also it's not enough for me to just post useful shit I have to have someone thank me for it.

I do think a thank or rep system would be fitting. We could control it on totse, on zoklet, and we will be able to control it here.
No negative, only positive.
And if it's doable, rep not related to post count and all rep is treated equally (if possible.)

Making streetcrap a mod

That was a travesty against all that is holy and someone needs to find a talented exorcist to rid the site of his infestation

Thats what you get for asking

Everyone seems like they're in a bad mood always.  This should be against the rules.
I agree but Ris is here to save the day.

a system that does nothing but boost ego's .

That IS the whole point though, the kind of user you are trying to attract by enabling such a thing. Why do you want to base a community on the people that need/desire any kind of "thanks" for their contribution? If people really need that kind of bell or whistle to validate their opinion or knowledge, then chances are they shouldn't even be in an adult forum like this to begin with.

Why would someone "need" to be agreed with if their perception is valid? That was a core part of the culture of Totse, people that didn't give a fuck about being accepted or fitting into mainstream thinking. Shouldn't their own life experiences and attitudes be enough to want to contribute? If not, then truly this kind of discourse is NOT the place for them.

Its like when you were in first grade and got an "A" on a paper, you were so thrilled getting that star or sticker along with the grade. I would think that HOPEFULLY the kind of people we want posting and attracting to these forums have grown up well beyond that kind of need/high/validation over something that is so useless in the grand scheme of things.

I always wanted a gold star stuck to my forehead permanently so that people can visibly see and take notice how admirable I am.

Look faggots, the point of the rating system on reddit/facebook is to show whats deemed appropriate by mass consciousness. Its a retarded "checks and balances" system thats basicallu a circlejerk but its a good way of promoting and guaging how topics resonate within people. There is no harm in such a system because no one really cares about the social implications because people use that to act on behalf of no one but themselves until it reaches a "tipping point" like you see in reddit where a dumb topic will have thousands of upvotes because fags deem it "important." "Likes" and social media type shit is the way of the world now, you either have to see the benefit and get with it or fall to the side and drop off because thats how the internet works now.

Totse wasn't about mass consciousness, circle jerks or social implications...therefor you don't even belong here. Go someplace where that IS the part of the culture, because this (nor was Totse) wasn't ever even remotely close to that.

Go with the mainstream every time. That way you won't stand out at all. It's best that you just blend in with all the rest of the attention-whoring faggits out there.
