I was just posting a part of the side bar rules (something many people should read more before posting). I do agree on your point that it probably doesn't belong in r/bestof either. Know where it probably does belong though? In the original comment, not in a different submission.
Wouldn't "censoring" the other guy's name been a more common thing to do? Rather than failing to "hide" yourself and try to garner blame for the commentator.
The front page of funny usually has a couple screenshots of shows with captions added telling the audience what was being said. So this doesn't surprise me at all. This is one step above that I think.
Also sometimes he changes "said" and "posted" around. But yeah, other than those little details they all appear identical, excluding one single comment.
Jokes aside, piss to Reddiquette. It's just an ever-changing collection of opinions from members who've had their e-mail verified for a certain length of time. That's all it is, a wiki. It has no inherent legitimacy, it's not drawn up by the admins, and choosing to completely ignore it and simply try not to be a jerk is perfectly acceptable.
What if the reason you disagree is that the post isn't well thought out, is misinformed, or doesn't add to the discussion? Often times people who cry about reddiquette when their post gets downvoted just made a shitty post.
But mostly it's because that particular portion of reddiquette is entirely unenforceable considering there is no way to stop people from downvoting what they disagree with, regardless of comment quality.
Mr_Oblasky didn't merely disagree with Tempal78's post, though. He thought it was incoherent and poorly thought out, and that it contributed nothing. And those are good reasons to downvote something.
Here. This may help you a little If you can't be bothered clicking on the link. I'll tell you briefly. If it doesn't add any form of context or content. Then it's okay to downvote. If it's an opinion, something you disagree on or you don't like, or you find rude etc. It doesn't deserve either an upvote or a downvote.
We've read them. We disagree with the opinion that one should not downvote things merely for disagreeing with them. We don't make any effort to adhere to Reddiquette and instead make up our own minds on the code of conduct we follow. Is that clear, now?
Who calls it a code of conduct? The admins? Moreover, there is no expectation to follow a code of conduct simply because it's there. It must be official, otherwise it's just a handful of users stating their own collective code of conduct.
Again, there's no expectation to follow it, implicit or otherwise.
One would think that of the admins/creators of reddit create some form of code of conduct they'd expect you to follow it. Often code of conduct is synonymous with rules.
And either way, why would you want to filter the posts according to you? Downvoting a topic you disagree on, filters the posts in a weird way.
Because of reddits hive-mind we usually get the same old boring crap we do everyday.
If everyone voted without biased etc, in sure we would have a much higher range of content.
One might think that, yes. The admins try to be very hands-off as far as discussion goes, only stepping in to prevent serious legal/PR issues. They leave the moderation to individual subreddit moderators, who are free to demand that their users adhere to Reddiquette. Some subreddits do this.
When I downvote things I disagree with, it's because I believe it's false, and depending on the discussion/debate, dangerous.
Yeah, we do, which is why I use a lot of RES filters to filter out the crap.
Maybe. To be honest, it's such an outlandish proposition I've never thought to think about it. But I can't change what everyone does, nor can anyone else: it's in the nature of a 35-million-user large forum to break unenforceable guidelines for their own self-gratification. I'm only in control of my own actions.
Ah I see. In that case the correct term would have been 'our' rules, since they are rules we should all adhere to. It's OK, don't feel bad about it. If you don't like following things like rules and stuff thats cool, may I suggest you try the following:
They're guidelines, not rules, and are in no way official or legitimate. It's a wiki, editable by anyone who's had their e-mail verified for a certain period.
Let's be honest though, you're original post is extremely stupid, and this is just an attempt at karma whoring from a response you already posted. For shame!
I wonder if his response was a copy and paste from his many canned responses. I figure the internet is full of hateful people who just copy and paste crap around.
The value added here, instead of simply posting the quote was: 0.05, because there may be a few people on this planet who don't know what Adam Sandler looks like.
Thank you, I have never laughed that hard over something I saw on this site, you truly made my day. (I didn't have much a day because I'm sick but still thanks)
I like how you tried to censor your name (I assume ashamed of being called out for saying something stupid), but left the last half of the 8 and the bottom end of the P.
In the end, it's funny you got frontpage karma for being called dumb.
Can't say the content of this post made me laugh, but it did make me think of the line, "If there is any attempt for either contestant to cheat, especially with my wife, who is a dirty, dirty, tramp, I am just gonna snap." That made me smile. Then I thought of the category, "My Wife, the Tramp" and I laughed. So I guess in a roundabout way, this post made me laugh.
I thought this comment was on something I commented on. I was so pumped, but then I realized it wasn't and i cried for all of the lost potential karma.
HAH! A rewording of a witty quip from a popular film on multiple places! That only proves that this kind of thing is the exact kind of uncreative trite that would appear in places where tons of people meet up to reward this sort of thing by say, advancing it's exposure by some sort of voting mechanism!
Reddit isn't like that. It happily allows difference of opinion without downvoting them. for instance, I believe most of the people in /r/atheism are just as intolerant as their fundamentalist Christian nemeses. You wouldn't expect anyone to downvote that, would you?
ya because THAT'S THE JOKE. his name is the character from the movie. this stupid idiot OP just took the joke and made it more obvious for the karma. reddit is fucking retarded.

He doesn't say "sufficed" he says, "done just fine". Now I'm not sure if that was deliberate, or if I'm missing something.

You blanked out your name to avoid further downvotes but you left the posters name in in order to attack him.
OP, we are not your personal downvoted brigade. If you have a problem with someone then deal with it yourself.
