We need a new term for positively rating a thread/picture

Now that this new rating system is in effect for the homepage, and the +1/-1 voting system now does something more than it used to, I think we as a group need to make a decision on what to call a positive or negative vote.

The terms Upvote and Downvote are stupid, come straight from reddit and have no originality. I will refuse to allow them to gain popularity. Instead we need something unique to us, because we are NS, not stupid Reddit

Ideas?

i detect an unreasonable amount of bias here, these are just the ones that you've said you've liked, not the most mentioned.

YOU'RE NOT A GOD!

I just posted that to make sure I was getting all the favorites! Those were what I saw on the last page and this one. I've gotta get back to work so I apologize for not making the list complete.

If you have one to add, copy/paste or quote the list and add it to the bottom. We'll keep it tidy then make a poll?

The reason upvote and downvote work great over at reddit is because they're verbs. I like dope&nope but how do you express that you upvoted someone? You doped him? In this way I think Stoke&choke work a little bit better.

I like where this thread is going, but you should just let it run for a while, then have a vote to see which is most liked.

The only problem is that bad is too overused as a word. I like knuckled or yardsale if only some one could come up with a positive for both. I'm thinking cleared/knuckled and stomped/yardsale.

Wait. You don't like reddit OR workaholics? Who put you in charge?

I'm too internet deep to think of/refer to up/downvotes in any other terms.. And frankly I don't think they need to be.. That's just me.

Carry on.

As far as I'm concerned reddit binges are good for you. There's always something to take away.. and cats.

Personally I could look at cats on the internet for hours.

(sorry for thread derailment)

My only suggestion is pick something that we can live with for a long time. 'upvote' is easy, becuase it is an up vote. Hard to come off as trying too hard.

'stuck it' and things like the pigeonhole us. My current favorite is stoke/choke because it pays homage to something in the past for skiing. My only worry is the way it would fit into sentences:

"Dude, can you stoke up my new photo? Thanks brah." (seems a little bro-brah to me)

"Dude that news article rules... here's some stoke."

Dont know why we can not just continue to use the karma system.

 If some kid posts a shitty comment im not gonna be like "Yo man! Minus some gnar!!" Ill trust take karma points.

I have a feeling it would be more like

"Duuuuude that news article was so legit!!!! +Stoke"

which I find equally as bad.


the Gnar Points idea isn't bad, but its kinda ripping off unofficial squaw in a way sort of and isn't really that original

Ok so this thread ended before any decision was made, so i decided to go through the thread and take all proposed ideas and make a survey. One person just proposed a few ideas for a positive term and a few for a negative so I just paired them in the order they were typed. Just choose your favorite and in one month I will post which one won, along with a screen shot of the results as proof.


Sorry if I missed any. Just let me know and I'll add it.
