Muppet Buttons

    I brought this up very briefly and tongue-in-cheek a while back, and now I think it's worthy of a thread.

    The idea is this: we have "Thanks" buttons, and we need a button to balance this out. I propose a "Muppet" button. For when someone is, obviously, acting the muppet.
    User has been a muppet x times in x different threads/posts.

    Yes? No? Maybe? I'm not repeating the question...?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Good lord hell no.

    EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it we already have those. They're called infractions.

    :rolleyes: Yup, but we ain't all moderators!
    Muppet buttons would be fun for maybe a day or two, until somebody gets targetted and hit with hundreds of them for confusing "their/there/they're"...

    Yep, I'm sure a muppet button would break the no personal abuse policy that is active in nearly every forum.

    It would be fun though.

    EDIT: Actually isn't the report button in fact a muppet button.

    SECOND EDIT: Ha, you can report your own posts for when you realise you were in fact attacking the muppet.

    I have no idea. I've never heard of such a thing.

    And how does being labaled a muppet constitute personal abuse? There'd be no one left if it did!

    To be honest i can't see it working. I mean, the only place it would really work is AH, and then it would just not be used in here for the same reasons "Thanks" is not used in here.

    It's been asked before in feedback and the admins have said it isn't gonna happen and for a very good reason.
