Pineapples & Pomegranates, oh my.

[JoeTang]

Meh. I tried.

TRY HARDER

[Mike]

I can see it now. All those pomegranates when Nexon announces something less than stellar or dumb.

voted -1: went hog wild!

[Jon]

This. I keep looking at posts and see red out of the corner of my eye. Immediate thoughts to "Why the pineapple was this post infracted? ...Oh. wait."

That's the best pomegranate I could come up with. It's unfortunately hard to draw details at that size, but it's cut open.


Why couldn't you have just called it a peach.

[MrTouchnGo]

It looks like a rose. I don't know why.

You are not alone.

I like this one.

[Sarah]

Yeah, I dig stereo's too.

[Felicitates]

I put one together real quick. What do you guys think?

[Eliseo]

I like the rose as it is.

I like it.

Can you make it -1? The +1 throws it off.

I thought you already decided you weren't doing this a month or so back, since the poll taken showed most people either didn't like it or flat didn't care about it? I don't like it because negative comments can get you infractions, why should negative ratings not work the same way? In fact, a negative rating with no explanation as to why is even more insulting to a person, in my opinion.

Stupidity isn't always infractable otherwise I would have been permabanned a while back.

There was no majority in that vote and the margin by which the 'against' had plurality was statistically insignificant given the population size and the unrepresented portion.

In short, a three way split between for, against, and i don't care means there was no "winner". The system had to be rewritten from scratch regardless, so I added the rather than go back and do it later.

There's a vast difference between a negative comment "I disagree with you" and flaming "shut up you fucking moron". Unless you can find a way to make the mean the latter instead of the former it's not flaming and your argument is moot.

Do we really need the score? +1 pineapple -1 pomegranate (0) <--- this last bit here

It's not about rating posts afaik, it's just about showing who agrees/disagrees and enjoys/hated the post.

[Razmos]

I agree with Sarah, the score is a bit of an eyesore, and I'm pretty sure most Southperryians know how to count. (with a few exceptions.)

It stays. Whether you think it's about rating or not it still creates a net opinion value and there's more reasons to be up front and display it than to suppress it.

I feel like it just adds more unnecessary clutter to the post, if anything. Anybody can look at the number of pineapples and pomegranates and say "hey this got more +s than -s" or vice versa. I don't think a number is necessary for someone to realize that one number is bigger than another.
