    Bring back it sucks.

    We've had a lot more posts that suck since the last update.

    Coincidence? I think not.

    Oh I'm plenty negative. I just think that people should be forced to explain why they think a post sucks. I think the "It Sucks" button just leads to dumbasses ganging up on each other. I don't want to make it easier for people to argue stupid points. I am in favor of rules that force people around here to actually think about stuff.

    Taking away the 'it sucks' sure hasn't helped. I would almost say an increase in thoughtless posts have been a trend since it was removed.

    This has been my position. What I was seeing for a time was some members always "it sucks" other members regardless of what was posted. Then I'd get an email about it. Got old.

    We can alway turn it off if it doesn't work.

    I get where you guys are coming from but there is something satisfying about seeing 40+ "it sucks" attached to a really terrible post.

    It's pretty amazing to me that people would actually complain to TJ about getting it sucks'd too much. For me it was just a fun thing that I never took too seriously. I certainly didn't get offended if someone thought my post sucked.

    Maybe severely limit how many It Suckses people have? Or make them earn them by posting good content (and lose them for posting bad content)? Not sure how feasible any of that is.

    Here is my suggestion.

    If the "point" system or whatever is still Moolah, make it cost $1000 to give an it sucks, and make it cost $100 to give a hi-five.

    That way it sets limits as too how many times someone can do either.


    Otherwise I guarantee I'll give out 1,000,000,000 it sucks within the 1st months and people will cry to you about it. Then they'll cry at me that I am not using "it sucks" button properly.


    Or just leave it out altogether. Pigeon bombing, Jimmy Garducci, and thread derailment have been far more entertaining than the it sucks button. Just my .02
