[serious] Off Topic Moderation Input - Part 2

[Kidlicious]

Does your butt hurt you?

[giblets]

What happened to country flags below usernames?

[Egbert]

Why does everyone keep calling the orange bars red?

Because the orange bars are red bars.

The really important question is "Why are the bars not bigger". Bars should be "bigly" to make Apolyton great again.

[Aeson]

Red bars sound like a place to pick up on commie chicks ... but our red bars are missing the women...

[Egbert]

The orange bars that are red bars really are orange bars.

Shhh. Don't tell giblets.

[giblets]

Make them bigger so everyone can see clearly how orange they are

[Aeson]

Are you talking about Trumps hands?

[kentonio]

The comment reply directly in a post thing is a bit odd. Is it supposed to be for comments directed just at that person? I don't see how most posters would know they were there on previous posts in a thread.

[Aeson]

I don't know what they're intended for. It seems they could be useful for having a side conversation without disrupting the flow of the thread (as most non-involved will not see them).

[N35t0r]

No they won't.

[ricketyclik]

No, they won't.

[kentonio]

I just used it for the first time.

Requires the originator to go back to their original post to see the comment. My standard flow is to "view new posts," so there's a good chance I won't see comments (although I did see kentonio's today).

Has there been any info on what the orange/red/grey bar graph is for? Mine is all grey (which I kind of like).

Did you get a notification about it though?

Must be a reputation system thing, when you hover over you get a message about 'will be famous soon enough'. Weird that some people already have full bars though, it must presumably be pulling old data from somewhere.

Didn't notice any notification, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there...

The bar is based on how many posts you have had liked. I will like your post JR, and you can see the impact. It may take a few.
We had a thread where we all liked each others posts and everyone that participated now has a full red bar.

Ok, I also liked a couple of posts of yours in the sports forum and viola, the red is starting to appear.

[Egbert]

I also "liked" the poasts placed by JRabbit and Kentonio. As rah said, the bars are starting to appear.

Soon, like rah, you two will also have a great rack.
