Should we get rid of Facepalms?

As I said, I'm unemployed.  What else am I going to do? Ooo that reminds me, I need to ask for luck.

I think (depending on the subject of the post) that a Facepalm says more about the person awarding it than it does about the content of the post for which it was awarded. So I think you should be able to find out who awarded the facepalm (or, indeed other medals the LOL, WOW, and Wisdom).

Can we also have a "nod along in agreement despite not having a clue what they're talking about" button for when ICBM and ECC83 (Dave?) discuss the merits of variable gamma flow in phase impacters vs flux capacitive idex biasing?

Well, I just facepalmed you and your score went from 20 to 19

Indeed, but it's the stain you can't remove

Gone from the total, but left in my profile (

My thoughts:

Facepalms: Keep, unless your going to replace with "kick in the balls" Make them not count towards "score"

Wow: Lose

Wisdom: Keep

Postcounts: Bring 'em back

Post counts are in profiles, but not in posts.

Sure you can Retarded design in the plugin, mind. I only did it to illustrate the function

I've held off using them as I didn't know if they were to be used for "Col Decker waking up under a fat groupie" or "someone supporting Putin, Griffin, Coulter, Jazz Racism and/or Dawkins... or invoking Godwins or forwarding jokes that used to faxed back in the days of fax

If the facepalm is well understood I see know problem facepalming and lolling (denoting someone laughing at themselves maybe for a stupid mistake) or facepalming as an opposite to wisdom.

I think it's early doors and we should let a use emerge before we take it away and start the first thefretboard.co.uk forum war (which will be a thing to savour ;^)

I think if it can stay but not reduce the Fret-count then that's perfect. That way someone who gets into lots of post-gig scrapes or whatever can be recognised for that without losing "points" they would gain for being a helpful forumite elsewhere. 

Ideally I see the Fret count being a marker to how trustworthy, useful and helpful a member is, and how safely their advice can be taken. ie it would be good if chaps like @ICBM, @Guitarweasel etc can be seen to be excellent trustworthy advice-givers to a newbie without them having to look back through past posts or whatever.

What is this voodoo magic .....

I like wows - I like pedals or amps or guitars that impress or people doing good in their life and sharing it with us.

Maybe make wows worth a few more points that way the doers of this place get the recognition they deserve but don't need cos they're out in the street ... looking for a brighter day...

That was exactly the intention I had for it so whatever we can do to make it more like that is what I want to do.

I thought that FPs were there to signal an instance of breaking rule 1. 

Has anyone had to have counselling due to receiving an aggressive bout of FPing, as opposed to the F*Ping?

I've changed my mind, I think it should stay for a while. If its abused or its upsetting people then get rid of it.

But for now let it play out , to see what happens

So, to summarise ....

 

... no-one's really that bothered ??

For the avoidance of doubt

I would like a Thanks button, lukewarm but still prefer Agree/+1/Like to Facepalm.

No, that's what "Flag" is for up there ^^.

Sorry, I thought that Flag was for someone who was breaking rule 1 above and beyond the call of duty.

I got face palm!

Get rid of it now! (
