Journal sam_handelman's Journal: "overrated" mod needs to go 3

Journal by sam_handelman

I can't say I'm surprised this post got down-modded, I'd expected that.

  But you'd think whoever did it would have had the balls to mod it as "flamebait" or "troll", rather than the cowardly weasle's "overrated".

  I'd also expected something of a better debate.

  • If we kill overrated, we also have to kill underrated.

    And I've seen many posts which are overrated (e.g. 5 points when they should be a 1 or 2) and many which are underrated (e.g. 1, 0, or -1 when they should be a 4 or 5).

    But sometimes it is a bit of a wuss way out.
    • I don't see why you'd have to kill underrated. If you go into the code, and just remove the overrated option, leaving underrated in place, it should work just fine.

      This is a little bit like someone in authority denying your request because if they make an exception for you, they'd have to make an exception for everybody. Actually, that's not true. You can make an exception just for me, it's just that you're choosing not to.
      • I'm sorry but you'll have to request the request form to request the form for requesting the form for that.

        And get it signed by all the ministers in black ink.
