down thumb notice

Site Ideas


there is a notice on your page when your post obtains three thumbs up.

I think there should be a notice when your post gets three thumbs down as well.


Just one to go. I'll keep at eye on the thread and let you know 😉

There is a second notification for a higher threshold--can't recall now, might be 9 TUs. May I suggest you go for the record: the most TDs ever?

Doesn’t matter either way, it’s just bs…. Out of the whole website do you find it odd that we never see larger numbers of thumbs in either direction? It’s always in the same number range, the whole forums feel that way for a number of reasons.

There are, I suppose, about 20 frequent contributors to the General, Debates, and Spirituality forums, plus clan members who contribute to the Clans Forum. I don't know how many people read w/o contributing to the forums, but I'd be surprised if the number exceeded 50 in addition to the 'frequent fliers.' Seldom does any post reach double digits. It's a small world in here.

I recall, in previous years, we had quite a lot of readers for the annual prose event, but even that has tapered off. The forums have gone downhill, IMO, over the years; several of the most interesting and cogent posters have gone and been replaced by trolls.

Note to @Russ:

Feature bloat.

This isn't going to happen, do not worry! But when you get the most down votes ever, maybe a special message....

and the current record is? (I think I have seen 10 once.)


@Russ
I have gotten the "special message" at least three times in my decades here.

longest one was a four year ban.

still here though.

I don’t think there are 20 frequent people that post and some are doubles😁. How many people are on the website, the numbers don’t match considering day in day out, year in year out and no larger numbers. If you take off sue, myself, wildgrass, and VR, the number of thumbs is a really low number.

One quick report later..someone once got 32.

Wow!

Do you know on average around how many people are on the site daily, and the total number of active people on the site?

Hmm, you might be right--I wasn't taking multiple-account users into account.

FYI, I almost never give TDs, but I did add one to the OP here.
