New Rule Announcement.

Take the time to read the new USMB announcement in the sticky section above.

Addition to USMB Posting Guidelines.

Doesn't "Funny" ratings increase your positive ratings? If so, and I'm pretty sure it is, this seems completely silly.

Yeah they do. But NOBODY is funny enough to deserve someone maliciously funnying about 24 of their posts over multiple forums and multiple threads in a 20 minute period. That's malicious and creepy. And we've seen it too many times. It IS stalking. And even if it rolls off your back as it rolls off mine --- it just escalates the frustrations and anger.

I personally take "malicious drive-by funnying as a badge of honor. It's that "click - click" sound when your assailant is out of ammo. But when I see 10 or 11 from the hater in one day -- it's mildly annoying. OTHERS are not that mellow about it.

It's an escalation of the increasing friction around these parts. And using it as a weapon does not promote what USMB is primarily for which is discussion..

It's about time. I've been bitching about this for ages and just get called a snowflake for my pains. Ironically, the posters who used to funny me to death have all stopped, already.
But it's a great idea.

How does it harm you in any way? To complain about something like that is just silly and ridiculous when you put things into perspective, don't you think?

No.

I'm funnying your post just to rebel.

 

[OldLady]

You people don't make any sense and are completely illogical and insane.

Chris, you're just so obnoxious that you can't see why this makes sense.

You see? Now that is some funny shit right there! This is nothing but a political message board. The funnies don't mean anything and have no real meaning.

Apparently so! Lol! Will you tell on me if I post one too?

So you're assuming rightwing a-holes are doing all this funnies-stalking-trolling? I'm sure you're right.

Uhhhhhh!!!! Did you just funny one of MY posts? How dare you??? I'm telling.

 

[strollingbones]

so much irony....so fucking little time....

I have never told on anyone for stalking me with funnies.

Of course not. A whole bunch of people use it to express themselves. Should they also post something to add their opinions or why they think the post is funny or silly? Perhaps, but I guess it is ultimately up to the poster whether or not they want to post.

 

[IsaacNewton]

Add some in between buttons like an 'oh come on' button, or have a funny button and a funny button hitting someone in the face with a pie. Or an 'I'm not on board with that' button.

A little more gradation between THIS and THAT.

Well, 85%+ of the ridiculous shills are leftist-oriented, so..

Okay, well you bitched about it. Put things into perspective and you can see how stupid it is to get upset over a funny face rating on your posts.

 

[Weatherman2020]

As a comedian I'm saddened by this assault upon the honor of getting a bunch of funnies for my posts.

Seriously though, what would you like to happen to those people who funny posts in an "obnoxious" way, according to your own standards?

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Just add a thumbs down emoji ffs. It is absurd that a group of adults can't emotionally handle this shit.

 

[ChrisL]

I would think using the funny button is a more light hearted and good natured way of disagreeing with a point. I guess it's not as good as calling them a Nazi or a racist though or maybe even a deplorable. Now THERE is a point to be made. Lol.

 

[Marion Morrison]

I'm watching a leftist shill racking up funnies on their OP as we speak.

The count is 5-2-1 thus far. The funnies are the safe bet on that one.
