Ideas and Recommendations for Improving The Cantina

I'm having the same problem, but it's the ratings I'm missing (I haven't tried to start a new thread). Of course, I understand that new systems are always glitchy at first, so I'm in no hurry. Just thought I would let you know.

EDIT: Ah, nevermind. They suddenly appeared.

 

Thanks for the help. I do indeed have the yellow button now. I didn't earlier today, and I appreciate the response. Thanks again for the site!

 

I would be willing to bet that it has something to do with a cookie and/or cache that needs to be refreshed. I would bet that a Ctrl+F5 or logging out and back in would fix the problem. If I remember, I'll let you know a few posts from now.

EDIT:

As of 30 posts, it doesn't appear to be cookie or login related. Must just be the back-end taking some time to catch up. I'll see how long it takes and report back.

EDIT 2:

The magic number appears to be 35 Minutes.

 

We are missing a Jar Jar option in the post ratings section. It would represent asking for a more cohesive sentence, or something like that. I don't know, something silly and Jar Jar related

 

I think that's what "Clouded" is for.

 

maybe "Clouded" needs a different picture.
i mean, it works with Kylo Ren, but not if you actually like the character ~ hahaha

 

Maybe Jar Jar could represent something like a post that could be perceived as "silly" (if I'm thinking of the right word) and the chewie one could keep being funny ?

 

I think we need a Rick McCallum "Dense" rating. Could have several meanings...

 

I think silly would be a good representation of Jar-Jar but if you guys wanted to go truly multi syllabic superfluous would also be good for Jar-Jar.
Superfluous:
a : exceeding what is sufficient or necessary : extra
b : not needed
(I know most probably know what superfluous means, but maybe some of us don't know precisely what it means)

I don't think we actually need a superfluous rating but boy does it fit what most of us think of Jar-Jar. I mean, like, perfectly.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (so what I'm saying is superfluous would be superfluous? Oh gawd)

It could also be called Over The Top.

He could also represent a logical fallacy or more generally speaking a weak argument.

 

Unwise or Foolish might also fit this. All of the above suggestions are better than "Dumb". Between Unwise or Foolish I would make the argument that Unwise is better as it's not quite as harsh plus a "Wise" exists already and the way Unwise Jar-Jar parallels a Wise Yoda makes sense because they have some things in common, for instance a silly appearance and like when Yoda is sort of pretending to be a brat on ESB (he hits Artoo repeatedly with a stick!) is something you could see Jar-Jar do.

 

i think people actually use it to mean "you must've been smoking a doobie to have posted that claptrap".

i know that's what i thought it meant ~ hahaha.

 

Yeah. I take it as "you are confused and making poor decisions." Haha.

 

Perhaps we need a "Delusional" or "Laserbrain" rating. Sort of like "Clouded" but more fun.


And we don't have a Han rating.

Also, maybe a "Sad" or "Hurt" or "Too Soon" rating.

 

As much as this ratings thing is useful and fun, we don't want to increasingly negate the need to type out a response do we? Can't too many ratings just induce laziness in regards to post response, thence reducing discussion ? Sometimes I don't care if it's obvious or whatever, but especially in regards to negative posts I would like to understand the reasoning or thinking behind it. Instead of ratings being a safeguard and fun adjunct, perhaps there could be a danger they could become a too common replacement for real discussion? Just thoughts....

 

ok, so i just read through this thread and rated pretty much every post; and look, i'm still contributing!

personally, the ratings are fun and a good way to get a feel of how others feel about any given post. i love the ratings here and i wish other social media platforms would adopt something similar. Facebook is trying to go that way now, but i feel they limited themselves by offering only a few different "responses" to choose from.

as for Jar Jar coming back, i've been wanting this for soooo long!! i like the idea of un-wise or foolish; how about Ridiculous?
