Idea from Punk: Post mood?

[PK8]

You guys may consider this a silly idea. (Sorry, I am quite hard on myself sometimes.)

In the internet, when a person is chatting, replying, or posting a thread, you the reader, sometimes may not know what the person is feeling.

But when a person is chatting, replying or posting a thread and using a bunch of emoticons, you the reader just may find it, annoying or noobish.

This is why I had this idea, If it sounds silly or you guys can't make this possible or whatever the reason is, it's ok. I had this idea that when the person is posting, the person can type in a certain field what he or she is feeling. (or the person can click on a radio button full of feelings.)

Spoiler: Idea on how it could work: plan a(When posting)

The person can select from a list of feelings that the person is feeling by clicking on a radio button.

Happy
Dejected -_-
Laughing :lol:
Proud ^_^
Confused :S

and so on.

Fill out what you are feeling in this field: [Insert field here]

(Just imagine and picture the contents that are in the spoiler as if it was a regular post)

Post Mood: Confused :S

What does SDK do?

If you disagree with this idea, I am very okay with it. I only suggested the idea that way it can probably stop noobish behavior. Then again, what do I know? I'm not a noob. :-/
I think that if this idea can work, readers wouldn't have to be annoyed by the overuse the emoticons.

 

[Balore]

Sounds reasonable. I don't see why not.

 

[master_joker_287]

Umm... I think it's a good Idea, but why don't you just type what you are feeling? I think that may be easier.

 

[PK8]

Then it would probably look, sound and/or seem like you're looking for attention.

 

[SuperXero]

This idea sounds good to me.

[Elijah von Bose]

same here. it seems good. There's got a be a "noobish" mood though. Confused might get overused if they're isn't.

 

[Despain v.1]

Terrible idea. This isn't a fucking myspace.

(this is Despain btw on the account for a couple of minutes- I was checking the progress Serenade has been making on the DPA and noticed this idiotic suggestion)

Whats even worse than the idea itself is that people are fucking saying that it is good.

Just kidding, let's not use this.

Again, this seems like a mod that isn't really necessary and if you do want to do it, I suppose you could be a trendsetter and just start putting it at the bottom of your posts. You could also use the subject/topic/title for not new posts... like I did as an example for this one. (Note: I will NEVER use it again).

@dz: I was thinking of that too but then I was wondering, if i started doing that...would people think i'm just looking for attention? Because i'm not.

lmao despain think about it this way (hypothetically speaking if the idea got accepted of course.) At least you don't have to see an overuse of emoticons in a single post. (You probably won't have to see a certain somebody overusing them anymore heh heh. Never mind...

 

[Ceroscuro]

Well it'd probably just have the emoticons AND the mood thing :P

 

[Anonymous]

I don't often see people overusing emoticons here anyway. :nya: :nya: :nya: :D :D :D :D

and while this is not NECESSARILY a horrible idea in theory, i personally am not for it and would not utilize it were it to be brought into effect

 

[Wings]

There is an entry mood function in the vB journal section for subscribers and sponsors . If you want it, why not donate a bit to help the site? Then you can use it all you want.

 

[Drake Miriel]

I'm with Treg, Despain, and DZ. In a text field I could see things getting unbearably stupid, and an emoticon could be potentially worse. Often people can tell your mood by reading your posts, and even outside that, this isn't a blog, and chances are few have any care if you're silly when you post.

I think that would be more annoying than the occasional n00b who makes a single post with a bajillion emoticons and is ignored. I have to agree with dZ, Des, TREG, and Drake Miriel on this one; highly unecessary and would just be completely uneccesary and annoying. If you want to start a trend by putting it in your post or in the subject then go ahead, but frankly I don't give a damn how anybody is feeling when they post. If it's spam it should get deleted, if they're wrong they should be corrected, if they make a good point then they should be acknowledged, etc. regardless of how they feel.

I think its a good Idea, there are many ways to read a post, and people often mistake the meaning because they dont know the mood of the poster. I myself was banned from a forum once, because someone misjudged my mood....

So what? Misunderstandings happen, even when talking in person.

Then either you said something that you didn't think through well enough or that forum was poorly managed.
