Why is udi trying to be like reddit

61 Comments

In order to have certain privileges you need "karma" and shit... Since when can we not voice our opinion no matter what? Udi, this is a direct message to you, and i want users to comment. You are RUINING the site, by creating "privileges" and GOOD karma. Even what you wrote was stupid.... "leave GOOD comments" that is all a matter of perspective. if i dont think something is NORMAL, does that make it a bad comment? especially if one dis agrees. ANYWAYS. you are a try-hard, and this website could be much better in OTHER ways, not more restrictions, like we don't have enough restrictions in our personal lives? Udi, go fuck yourself. trying to make money off of users who come here to hang with friends. SELL OUT. Why does Udi ruin good things? IIN?

he hit rock bottom	3
hes a loser	3
hes a bitch	1
all of the above	13
hes a sell out	1

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

Well shit. I don't know about all that reddit stuff but I just signed in for the first time in a couple weeks and I don't like this new layout at all :( It hurts my wee little birdbrain. Ooouuuuch.

That's be nice unfortunately it doesn't seem like having a quality userbase is very high on his list of priorities

Also he did away with email registration altogether, same as reddit; but unlike reddit he can't seem to moderate for shit, so that doesn't seem like a great idea

  Wtf.
  
  He told me in email he'd put in all these anti troll measures...
  
  Having to verify email would have to be like...the most basic level of anti troll shit you can do...and he can't even get that right.
  
  Fuck he's an ubertard.

    Exactly, I thought that'd be like the first thing on his list. I mean it might've been a nice feature to have email be optional, if he actually had decent moderation.
    
    A lot of sites just have volunteers with a good track-record, who are glad to work for free, that would honestly be way better at it than his paid(?) ones.

    E-mail verification allows the NSA to track you. Just cuz you live in Australia, don't think ASIO doesn't have volumes of AI edited shit about you. You're just putting yourself on the elimination list for the freedom police.

    Ah, it's back now.
    
    The point still stands, though. A valid email is not required.
    
    I guess that's all I can say for now, since it's not letting me post the full comment for whatever reason (new filter? time limit on commenting?)

He says he knows how Trump must feel - presumably, he means doing all this "work" and getting criticised because he's incompetent.

  Oh good. He's taken away the edit feature.
  
  Or perhaps that's just specific to my "location", like he claims all his other fuck ups I've seen so far are.
  
  For clarification, these fuck ups are specific only to site usage on mobile phones. Yet he claims that it's location, not PC vs device. Despite serveral world wide locations having the same problem.
  
  Let us all stop for a minute and remember...he designs and develops websites FOR A LIVING.
  
  Who would hire him?

      Back in the days of old (yesterday...), when we post a comment, at the bottom next to delete would have been an Edit option that would last for 3 - 5 minutes before the comment is finalized. Please bring that back, because we all make mistakes in our post.

Changes happen.

Personally, I thought I was banned and the site shut down. Since I use m.isitnormal all the time (phone), it took me by surprise when I could see the site for a whle, but couldn't log in and then it 404'd permanently.

      Listen plebeian, don't think you have bragging rights. One million dollars, or the $1.3M that you referred to once is petty by the standards of the elite 1%. You have a standard upper middle class retirement amount. You probably saved it by driving a Japanese econo-car, living in a 4 bedroom dog box with plastic siding, and by sending your kids to a community college.
      
      This places you in the top 3%. You are officially a minnow in the global food chain. You will never be one of us.

        I hear father-son incest is a family tradition among you 1% pieces of shit. That and inbreeding, which is well known. Are your mother and your sister the same person? And has your father been fucking your ass every Sunday afternoon since you were born? Don't get too arrogant faggot. Remember what happened to Marie Antoinette.

  Usually, if changes to a site are going to happen, whoever is in charge lets people know.

Alice can't even post a comment. But she told me to say this for her; "Udi, we want you to change the site back. My mobile hates it, my pc hates it, I hate it. I can't always log in, the layout is weird. I want profile photos back. Uh, who is with me? "

I'm with her.

If registration is made more difficult, you'll end up with four users (c,r,e,c) and a bunch of random new people who will eventually be banned if they stick around.

Um, what's the problem? The site belongs to whomever created it. The site creator can do whatever with it. It's their site.

Why so much anger? Bad day? Need to let it all out?

Create your own site and call it "Is It Normal-er," or whatever you want to name your domain.

This site is fun, that's all I'm going to say. For fun, people! Play! Fun??? :-)

This post is a special case, and I feel that it's good to give people a place to vent and discuss without flooding other posts and causing other disruption.

Making registration more difficult would cut down on spam a little but, but I think it won't help as much as you think. The really annoying folks are quite motivated and will use throwaway email services and other tactics to get around most basic requirements. It won't stop them. This new site has some other behind the scenes mechanisms to combat trolls that I think will prove their effectiveness over the coming weeks. But it'll take a bit of time.

The layout is more or less finished. I'm fixing some minor bugs but the major structure is in place. Search and comment editing will return sometime in the next week or two.

I'd love to hear feedback. I assume people are mostly referring to the mobile layout, which is now a responsive version of the desktop one and not a separate jquery mobile site. The new one is MUCH faster and simpler in a lot of ways. But it is quite different. I hope that as people get used to it they'll see the merits, but I'm listening and can definitely adjust things if any particular pieces of it are hard to use or hard to navigate. Thanks!

  "The really annoying folks are quite motivated and will use throwaway email services and other tactics to get around most basic requirements."
  
  --Then don't allow throwaway domains to be used in the email field? Send verification links to emails before the account is usable? Yes there are ways around that but it would greatly deter some of these one-handed typers if you get what i mean. Mainly you need better moderators. Why not hire volunteers from this site whose accounts/IPs are in good standing?
  
  "This new site has some other behind the scenes mechanisms to combat trolls that I think will prove their effectiveness over the coming weeks"
  
  --You mean like stronger filters and commenting time limits? Don't get me wrong those are good ideas if you could limit them to just affect trolls. I don't really think "karma" is going to help you there, as long as you have these idiots playing around with proxies as you can see with the excessive negative votes directed towards specific users and excessive positive votes on the same 3 accounts with the same writing styles.
  
  "I'd love to hear feedback"
  --I'm guessing you wont read this though
  
  "I assume people are mostly referring to the mobile layout"
  
  --No were mostly referring to trolls, who give a fuck about the damn layout when you haven't solved the main problem yet
