Great to here the fail button has been removed, I'm looking forward to a much friendlier and honest RS. I know I frequently questioned, will be failed for this before posting, and edited accordingly.
I'm surprised how many people support the fail button being removed.. I didn't expect that!

I don't mind him at all.
Now apologize and make up. Let's all be friends.
I love you
You love me
We're a happy family
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too?
I love you
You love me
We're best friends
Like friends should be
With a great big hug

Okay, those names suck, but you get my idea.
In my opinion, the fail button isn't really a "pessimistic calling them out on it" button. It's more of a joke and fun button for me. I find it hilarious when everyone jumps on a bandwagon and mass fail a post even if it wasn't fail worthy. Furthermore, we need some kind of downsides to balance all the thanked.
Now that with the fail button gone, ppl will just start calling the poster of a stupid post loser in full cap or something like that. Before it would just simply be a fail.
I'd rather purposely post marginally retarded posts and receive fails than to receive a big LOSER.
/end rant of losing the fun fail button  | |

/end rant of losing the fun fail button | I think that just by you asking me to rename the button is reason enough to leave it as-is. organge7 has spoken, and we have done the opposite. yay! Quote:

The fail button made it so that people who had something to share would be like "Hmmm, I might get failed for this I'd better not post at all" or "I searched everywhere and couldn't find this video so I'll post it up" and it turns out its a repost and everyone jumps on the fail bandwagon. | Agree. I'm glad the button was removed. A lot of people like to jump on the fail bandwagon just because they see other people failing the OP. Many times it's the result of misinterpretation of the OP's story or false assumptions about the OP due to lack of reading comprehension.
I don't see how troll posts will increase as long as people make good use of the report spam button.

We have kept the Thanks button though because people who are helpful should be recognized for it. Thanks for reading!
- Revscene staff | i would say fail you right now if i could

About time. Too many fails were given out because someone didn't like what someone else was saying and not because the post was actually retarded.
Next up should be the NWS avatars, can't browse RS at work... lol
