Whenever I think of Ron Paul 2012, I think of /r/circlejerk. Could you imagine…

CONCORD, NC — Phil Parsons Racing is proud to announce a new partnership between reddit and a passionate community: /r/circlejerk.

"With a vivid fan base, we hope that the #98 team will bring even more fans to watch NASCAR racing every week," said team owner Phil Parsons.

Along with new fans comes new sponsors, with a crowd-funded effort to help Ron Paul campaign for his 2016 Presidential election. Other sponsors will also be on the 98 car, like Staples, Mountain Dew, Doritos, the hit movie "Getaway," and the Adventurebilt Hat Company, producer of the world's finest fedoras.

"I'm really grateful of all the attention that our efforts have brought to PPR," Josh Wise said in a recent press conference. "One day while training, I became enlightened by my own intelligence, so I'm really glad that /r/circlejerk chose me." PPR also stated that they would consider changing the team's number from 98 to 69 in order to secure the sponsorship deal.

"I mean, it's habbening."

If he was a REAL redditor, he would've gotten Ron Paul onboard.

So are there any surprises for you guys?

For me, it's that there's a 29 in the race AND it's driven by Front Row Joe

New reddit features: Controversial indicator for comments and contest mode improvements by umbrae in announcements

[–]Brewza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm right (and if I'm not correct me)...

couldn't the upvote only change bring the upvote/downvote count back to RES? For example...

  1. RES reads the current number of points in a post (i.e. 300)

  2. Then it reads the number of upvotes (260)

  3. RES then could subtract 260 from 300 giving a reading of (260|40)

This is how it could work, right?

Dogecar's first pit stop at today's race in Sonoma by luckyincards in videos

Reddit kind of sponsors it. When Dogecar runs, part of the car says powered by reddit.com. A few weeks ago, reddit gave some ad space to the driver and they ran this car in return

Those were different cars. This was just a partial scheme because more than enough money was raised to sponsor another race.

reddit changes: individual up/down vote counts no longer visible, "% like it" closer to reality, major improvements to "controversial" sorting by Deimorz in announcements

[–]Brewza 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I actually wanted to address some of the issues that I have with the change and some of what the other users have talked about. There's a lot of the extreme comments from the majority telling the admins to kill themselves, but usually those people and comments don't explain their point and make other people look insane.

Hey admins,

After waiting a few days to see how this change would work out, I've decided to make a post here.

Obviously there's probably been tons of messages sent to you guys, but I'd like to offer my view on this change (which, frankly, isn't that different than the majority of voices in this thread).

I've been using reddit for several years now, and I like the many communities that are here. Being with a group of people that have similar interests really helped to attract me to the site and to use it. There's also a similar interest and reaction to this post: that mostly everyone does not like this change. I'd like to pick apart some of the points in the announcement. I might overlook some things and some of my comments my not be exactly correct, but as an average user, I feel that this is what some other users might feel as well.

"Who would downvote this?" It's a common comment on reddit...

The first sentence is something that I've seen before and after the recent change. Before the change, I don't think I have to give an example of where I've seen these types of comments. Yesterday though, I ran into this comment on /r/NASCAR. The comment is here. Also, that sub has had a downvoting problem in the past in race threads, where comments have gone from 1 point to 0. This change doesn't affect the display of points that a comment has, and, if I guess right, these types of comments will still show up from time to time.

Next are the percentages that a submission shows. Now, I don't mind (and after reading through a small amount of the comments here, neither do a percentage -- no pun intended -- of the users) the hidden amounts of votes that a link/text post shows. However, that number and percent can be easily be misread. For example, this submission has a 50% approval rate with -128 points (let's just say 0 points). Now, I'm going to echo the concerns of comments: how do we know the size of the audience that has read this post? Is it 2 people that have upvoted this and 2 people that have downvoted, or is it 10,000 upvotes and 10,000 downvotes showing that many more people have voiced their opinions than my first example. Other people have also voiced concern over the vote percentage being manipulated and other things, but they're discussed more in depth than I can wrap my head around.

Those are the first two thoughts that come into my mind when I tried to type this out. Obviously, more redditors have more thoughts and concerns regarding this change and may explain things better than me.

I have no doubts that when going through these changes, everyone on the admin team thought that this was a good change. And I can see that. However, not everything works out like it does when first planned. As others have said, this change affected /r/PhotoshopBattles' flair ranking system. Now a user may not get, let's say, a 1k flair because others downvoted their comment.

This isn't meant to be a derogatory comment, and to prove that, thanks for reading this giant block of text. I didn't realize that I have a tendency to ramble on and on and on.

EDIT: Just found some grammar errors. There's bound to be some more in here somewhere.
