Even by today's standards it may not qualify as an article, lacking code, download, and any text besides the introduction...

Well, you can vote for yourself. It's amazing how many people don't do that.

Really? I'm tempted to try that, but I'm thinking it would be cheating...

Both seem to have been cremated already and paid regualar floral tributes. Now there should be a way to have a 'Cartoon'/'Humor' section to archive such funny things.

How about a hug smiley?
Maybe I would be the only user but it would be nice to have a positive smiley.

That would be good - the rose always seems kind of effeminate (man points and all that!) and a thumbs up doesn't cut it when expressing an emotion. A hug is cool though!

Wouldn't we then need a "gerroff" smiley?

ps, I like the hugz idea too.

I think you should have simply removed the ability to vote instead of removing the ability to post.

Is that any less true for the Lounge or the forums where telling someone what they don't want to hear will garner a "1?"
Problem I see is that unless you remove voting for the articles as well, there will be too many folks unavoting someones's serious work because they didn't like the joke they told in the all-talk forums. I know Simmons already has a problem with this and those times where I've been tempted to publish, I've held back because I was pretty sure I'd get low-balled.

Please see my post here[^].
The Soapbox long ago degenerated into a forum that has nothing to do with Software Development and everything to do with encouraging flame wars, political wars and personal vendettas. There are so, SO many other forums on the net where this sort of stuff is better suited.
I want the site I spend every spare second of my waking life working on to be a site that encourages members to do and be their best. The Soapbox did nothing more than implicitly promote the very behaviour I was trying to discourage.
Do you honestly think removing the ability to vote on a message would do anything to change the way some members behaved in that forum?

Whoa! The Soapbox was *never* supposed to be about software development. In fact, it was put in place to corral conversations we didn't want in the Lounge, namely, political and religious discussions (and flame wars), and personal attacks, vendettas, and flame wars.
Chris Maunder wrote: There are so, SO many other forums on the net where this sort of stuff is better suited.
Yeah, but the vast majority of us don't join a site just to get into those types of discussions, and it's pretty convenient if we want to speak our mind if we can go local (on a single site) to do it. Before we started getting so many over-sensitive users, it was pretty docile in the Soapbox.
Chris Maunder wrote: The Soapbox did nothing more than implicitly promote the very behaviour I was trying to discourage.
I see it more as a pressure relief valve. After all, the stuff in the Soapbox *belongs* in the Soapbox.
Chris Maunder wrote: Do you honestly think removing the ability to vote on a message would do anything to change the way some members behaved in that forum?
It would return the Soapbox to what it's supposed to be. With almost 6 million users, you're guaranteed to get a certain set of people that are just out to piss everyone else off. There is NOTHING anyone can do about it short of severely controlling access to the board (something your advertisers won't be happy about). If you give that set of people a place to post on the site, they will not (for the most part) be posting in the Lounge.
Yeah, it's a dirty rotten shame that you have to babysit the troublemakers (Ilion, to name just one), but hey, that comes with the job (and I don't envy you your position). If I had any workable ideas on controlling the idiots, I'd certainly speak up, but I can't think of anything that is viable.
I think shutting down the Soapbox is a mistake.
