If we're removing subforums, I say we take out Spam first and burn its regulars at the stake.

I still would like a dislike button on the rate. There is a like, laugh, and a thanks button. A dislike button would just get overused like the other ones. Why did we add them since they can get overuse as well?
Because this isn't reddit?

If we can disable notifications, then they kind of lose their function... The ratings notifications might be a bit uninformative for some, but in most other cases, notifications are supposed to be (or in my vision they are, in any case) the "summon person" buttons that you use somewhat sparingly, but which certainly are a convenient and useful tool. Hence, I'd rather have a system that makes you make an extra move or two to specifically notify someone over one in which you'd have to resort to PMing people old-school style because the person turned notifications off after receiving eighty-seven when they left for a family vacation for the weekend.
There are many people (not unlike myself) who never read their notifications anyway. Personally, I never miss reading a post on threads I'm subscribed to, so the notifications become superfluous. Others simply won't care enough to check them, and not allowing anyone to disable them won't change the fact that they won't check them. Making the option available won't cause it to happen more frequently, and virtually every other site with notifications has the ability to customize which notifications you'd like to receive.

Even on Reddit, some communities remove the downvote option because it creates negativity and encourages people to manipulate votes and vote down opinions they don't agree with. So there's that. I think a dislike button would be damaging.

I think auto-dismissing notifications when you read the post in question would be an easy enough fix. The other notifications that get useful are when someone rates an old post of yours, or @mentions you in a thread you're not normally part of as a means to get your attention. Or quotes for a similar reason.

I'd personally make a notification settings page. Some people only wish to be notified under specific circumstances, and some not at all. That way, it won't become irritating to anyone.
Good reminder. Some types of notifications are reasonable to mute: - When you're done with a convo yet other people keep posting in it forever. Fixed by letting users leave convos. - When other people keep commenting on a user's status that you once commented on. Fixed by putting a mute button next to statuses that you've commented on. - Another user is intentionally spamming them with something that creates notifications. Fixed by reporting the user. Other types of notifications (like @Mentions) need to have guaranteed delivery to truly work.
Why do we need to remove the NRP subforum? We don't we remove the Arena subforum and divide it up and sent the RPs to free, casual, and advanced?
I don't think we need to remove anything right now. But once a topic created in Arena tagged with Casual and Nation actually shows up in the Casual and Nation RP forums, I'll just wait til the last dude stops visiting it.

I didn't start with negative ratings because they're controversial. But since your rating totals aren't public anymore, I'm interested to see how people would actually use negative ratings. "Dislike" seems like the lamest rating of all though. Not even Zuckerberg implemented it. Can you think of any better ones? Even one of these would be better: , , , But then again, giving everyone such a brainless+simple way to send negative vibes just doesn't seem that great of an idea. At least on Reddit it's an anonymous number that increases or decreases. But on the Guild it'd be like "SomeDude69 disliked something you did". Fuck off, SomeDude69. Nobody asked you. What do you think about that?

Yeah, it's going to exacerbate the problem of "Who would downvote this post?!" Then it becomes, "SomeDude99 downvoted this post! I'M GONNA WRECK HIM!"

Gotta agree with this. Simple 'likes' means that everyone is on the same level and rise up when they have done something good; 'dislikes' means that you are actually making an effort to take a shot at someone for what they posted. Dislike the same member a few times and it could create an argument between people over what, a clicky war?

If someone dislikes what someone else wrote, they can do one of two things (provided the disliked stuff wasn't rule-violating): Ignore it Explain why they think the statement was pure balderash and why their view is so much better. A dislike button doesn't help anyone improve.

@Mahz - Clicking a RP tag should then pull up a list of all RPs tagged with the tag I click. That way I can browse them as I would RPs in a RP section; by latest IC post, latest OOC post, etc, etc. I say "should" simply because my internet experience (however stunted compared to others) has taught me, by way of something like Tumblr, that a tag should be clickable. This planned for the future, or am I just dreaming aloud?

@Captain Jordan@Mahz The reason I would make the option available to change what notifications you will receive, if any, is because the same people who would turn off notifications would ignore them anyway. Not a big deal, in the scheme of things, but still something to consider.

You can now toggle your roleplays' join-status between 'Jump-in', 'Apply', and 'Full'. Hover the status for a longer description. If you're a GM/co-GM, check out the topic's edit page to find the toggle. I implemented this feature late last night so I don't remember if I was finished enough to launch it or not. Yall can lemme know.

@Mahz I was made a test co-GM in an RP for one of my friends, and I can't seem to see an edit button for the topic. Where's it supposed to be?

If someone is going to get mad over a dislike, then they are a kid. Other sites have the dislike button and only child get upset by it.
