Revision as of 20:37, 12 January 2023

I know it's all in good fun and all, but at the end of the day it's unnecessary and adds nothing to what is being said. "Strongest oppose/support" should be enough as is.

Support

Support I understand it's just joking around but at the end of the day it's kinda annoying imo. In my eyes it's just users trying to one-up each other with who can come up with the weirdest scenarios- Airvibes (talk) 20:24, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Just because they are annoying doesn't mean we have to downright ban them (USER TALK!) 20:22, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
agreeing with Dante Jet Dzhet (talk) 20:26, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Support. While it's great to demonstrate a point of you feel exceptionally strong towards an opinion, at some point the meaning became lost in translation and has turned into a game of a leapfrogging one another with the most absurd situations, to the point that they are seriously distracting from the point of RfCs - to show support/opposition to a proposal brought up by our community members. I get you folks want to have fun with it and enjoy the thrill of it, but the gag can only go so far before it becomes repetitious; and I think we've personally jumped the shark with the gag, so I support it. Solarstrike (talk) 20:27, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Bro. The concept and point of RFCs ("to show support") is still retained, as evidenced by the statement "(Strongest support since). We need much more content for the channel, and this would be absolutely brilliant." seen on the AVID Documentary RFC (USER TALK!) 20:36, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Support as someone who originally did the Strongest support in the world comments, I agree this has devolved too far outside of the original intended purpose. Hate to put my foot down but this isn't professional at all. Compooper (talk) 20:34, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Abstain

Oppose

Oppose since you made this RFC. There is basically no problem with this. It's just a fun way to make a joke. (USER TALK!) 19:57, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

It's gotten way out of hand recently, and again - they really add nothing to the discussion. It's just unnecessary fluff. NancerAVID (talk) 20:08, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
Dude, it's really not a problem. It's just a joke. And as a matter of fact, they aren't really lengthy either. It's not like they are 20 words; plus, most aren't even 15 words. Also, if they add nothing to the discussion, why so mad at them? (USER TALK!) 20:13, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
What's the joke? NancerAVID (talk) 20:17, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
The joke is having a funny follow-up sentence. That's literally the joke. It's funny, wholesome, and makes the voting system a whole lot more fun. (USER TALK!) 20:19, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
What Dante said (The Third Place) 20:21, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
No, it doesn't make it "more fun". It just distracts people from the actual points being made, and (solarstrike's words) it's become a game of leapfrogging people with the most absurd situations. It's probably going to get to the point where they do exceed 20 words and take up half of the RfC. NancerAVID (talk) 20:26, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Oppose for now. They should stay but have a word cap of maybe 10 or so. JrStudios (talk) 20:06, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Oppose Eh, I admit it is kinda annoying to watch those over and over but not THAT much to reach the point of banning them. Of course they add nothing to the discussion but, let 'em be, they don't harm anyone. Jet Dzhet (talk) 20:17, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Oppose since Sesame Street stopped using the Funky Chimes music in 1992 for Season 24. Someone can't take a joke (The Third Place) 20:08, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

...what's the joke? You're just adding random information completely unrelated to the actual topic on the end. NancerAVID (talk) 20:14, 12 January 2023 (UTC)


Oppose I don't see what's the problem. IAmThe789Guy (talk) 20:29, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

It's unprofessional - just like you thought the mascots were. NancerAVID (talk) 20:30, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
yeah, and even though I still think that's the case, can't we just have a little fun. IAmThe789Guy (talk) 20:32, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
It's not really fun anymore though. Maybe when they started happening they were slightly humorous but now it's just people topping each other on how absurd their situations get. NancerAVID (talk) 20:35, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
yeah, your right, hold on. IAmThe789Guy (talk) 20:36, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
lmao, I found another person who thinks the mascots are unprofessional. Do you just hate the community having fun? (USER TALK!) 20:37, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
