I prefer pigs:

Run from my pig, my pig is contagious,

Everyone's sick, ooh the hype is outrageous!

Catch a whiff of its trough, you'll sneeze and you'll cough

then your fever goes up and you'll feel all sticky.

I need vaccine! Wow you're pea green...

Well I better show you where the Tamiflu is made (OH YEAH)

Sweet Tamiflu, mmm sweet Tamiflu

Sweet Tamiflu, mmm sweet Tamiflu

(The beatdown features a lot of people in hospital cots, barely able to move and each bopping one arm/hand/finger along to the beat. One of them dies a little more than halfway through. The words "University Infirmary" could be posted on the wall somewhere. There should be some wheezy pig squealing as well.)

Run from my pig, you'll stop breathing and pass out and then you won't be alive for very longer!

I think you find that death is pretty much the end...

Shut up woman, run from my pig!

the pig grunts and gives a knowing look

btw, if a moderator sets it to "viewers must be over eighteen years old", it will move out of the default set for the vast majority of users, who haven't set an "I'm over 18" preference

Did you guys change the subreddit to 18+, or was it that way before? Because if it was, we have a problem.

I'm all for this subreddit staying on the front page, but is there any way we could shorten "fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu" to "fu" and "doesanybodyelse" to "DAE" so we could get a couple more items up on the top bar?

I would like to remove this subreddit from the front page and have my peace back.

[–]melanthius 29 points30 points ago* 

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm sure this point is going to be reiterated several times, but I will just say I am getting a bit peeved at people who are ruining it for those who like it.

i.e. downvoting everything automatically, telling us how to / not to present the comics, rabble-rousing to assert that it is "unfunny" as if that were a fact and not an opinion (which is essentially an assertion that subscribers are fuckwits for laughing at the comics).

When I decided I was not a big fan of particular subreddits despite my interest in the topics (coughAtheism,Politicscough), I silently unsubscribed. I did not make a big song and dance about it. I did not try to change the behavior of contributers to those subreddits to better suit my ideals.

I hope that taking FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU off the front page will let some of us enjoy it without being looked down upon by people who don't get the humor.

[–]Poromenos[S] 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That's my hope as well, and the reason I'm putting this vote up...

[–]jedbergking of the berg's[A] 64 points65 points ago* 

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So, just to be perfectly clear, you, the creator of this community, are requesting that we, the admins of this site, artificially remove you from the top 10 list?

We're ok with this, I just want to be absolutely sure that this is your request before we do anything.

Edit: ketralnis has a better solution

[–]csdthegreat 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't think that's a better solution at all. Now I have to check the "over 18" box to see this subreddit. An internal link could send me to something like /r/gonewild or /r/nsfw and there wouldn't be an adult content warning. I'm 14 and on a shared computer in the dining room, and my parents are usually in the next room and can see the monitor. Besides, almost all FFFUUUs are SFW, and newcomers might not know that and be turned away. And still, many of the people downvoting these comics already have the box checked.

[–]kmeisthax 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Can't we just have reddit add a 'no frontpage' option for moderators?

[–]donwilson[M] 26 points27 points ago* 

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Edit: ketralnis has a better solution

I don't necessarily think that is a better solution. I think there will likely still be a large amount of people who have checked 18+ but are still randomly downvoting submission and basically causing annoyances. Edit: plus most of our submissions are suitable for people younger than 18, so I'd rather not block out a large group of people.

[–]Poromenos[S] 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That'll solve the frontpage problem, though. The signed in people can remove it from their frontpages.

[–]Reductive 11 points12 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

But the problem you originally stated is

We will lose some exposure, but we will also not have people downvoting every comic just because they don't like it.

Only signed in people can downvote...

[–]Poromenos[S] 8 points9 points ago* 

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Why didn't I think of that? Who the hell downvotes them instead of unsubscribing, then?!

This changes everything.

[–]josh6499 2 points3 points ago

Precisely. I thought it had to do with RSS feeds or something.

[–]Jwoey 77 points78 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm a subscriber and I want it off the main page. I enjoy the comics, but I was also here when the movie reviews subreddit made the front page, and that was one of the most annoying things ever.

I can empathize with the folks who want it off.

[–]Poromenos[S] 18 points19 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, that was taken off also. We'll see how this goes and I'll message the admins then.

[–]QnA 15 points16 points ago

I'm also a subscriber and I browse the comics daily. But I'm actually sick of the mass downvoting that is taking place on even good comics. If it stops the mass downvoting, I'm all for removal from the main page.

[–]donwilson[M] 26 points27 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes. We're being bombarded with downvotes on every new submission, whether it's funny or not.

[–]halcyonjm 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Aren't they downvoting because they don't think it's funny?

[–]donwilson 13 points14 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, they're downvoting it because they were seemingly forced into viewing it and retaliating.

[–]halcyonjm 4 points5 points ago

Is there a "why are you pressing the down-arrow button" box that I've been forgetting to fill out?

[–]donwilson 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The only thing that I can verify is that before we were made a Top 10 reddit all good submissions were heavily upvoted and bad submissions were downvoted. Now, every submission is downvoted and very few make it above 0.

[–]halcyonjm 4 points5 points ago* 

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The phrase I'd like to focus on is "good submissions."

Before this subreddit made it to the Top 10, the only people who were exposed to submissions were the ones who liked the meme well enough to subscribe to it. It was this biased sample of redditors that was voting, and there were community standards of what made a good example of the meme that you all enjoyed (a "good" submission).

Since making the Top 10, this sampling bias has been mostly mitigated. I say mostly, because there probably are many people that have unsubscribed to FFFUUUU since it went Top10. So the remaining sample is still biased towards people who like the meme. Just far, far less so than before.

I can't claim to know why anyone votes any more than you can. But couldn't "a massively increased number of people who are not predisposed to the meme voting under the criteria they've always used" (ie: Is this interesting/entertaining or not) be just as likely as a massive retaliation campaign?

[–]donwilson 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Isn't what we want in our subreddit is a biased sample?

[–]halcyonjm 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I would think so. I just don't think you're ever going to get it while you're in the Top 10.

[–]raven_785 2 points3 points ago* 

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It is because there is a large amount of people who don't think these are funny or interesting ever. If you see things that aren't funny or interesting you click the down arrow. Personally, I have never laughed at even one of these. The small population of people who do laugh at these visit the subreddit and upvote them but as soon as the general population sees them they go away because to most people they are lame.

I don't see what the problem is with the users of reddit. We're doing what we are supposed to.

EDIT: Also, before you say "just unsubscribe from the subreddit," people who aren't logged in can't do that, and its up to the rest of us participating to make sure what they see is interesting.

[–]doomstork 22 points23 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'll go with this. A little less exposure also means less crap comics. Recently, it's as if only one in ten submitted cartoons are actually funny, when almost all of the ones on the main page used to be a joy to read. It makes no differences to those of us who are subscribed, either. Let's have a secret club!

[–]Reductive 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It seems like the FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU subreddit replaced DAE on the default front page. I think the consistent lack of a good 10th mainpage subreddit with mass appeal means we should actually just have 9 subs for the default mainpage. Don't get me wrong - plenty of people like DAE (I think it's annoying garbage), and plenty of people like FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU. I don't think either one is really very good for defining Reddit though.

I would rather leave it up, but be renamed in the title bar as FU - I don't mind it being there, but it takes space that could fit two other subreddits.

[–]monroetransfer 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The rate of submission for this niche comic form is far in excess of the norm, and I can understand how those who don't find them funny for whatever reason (I love them with passion and have been here since the beginning) would be annoyed. It should never have been frontpaged. I've said this before elsewhere and others like me seem to agree.

I think this might point towards a bug "OK so I've been looking around the edit/preferences menu and cannot find a way to get FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU off of my front page. I thought I had figured it out with the +frontpage/-frontpage option menu but FFFFUUUUU is still on my front page. Please don't downvote me into oblivion just because I don't know how to change my reddit options, until FFFFFUUUUUU became the most popular and least interesting thing on reddit I would never have even thought of editing/changing reddit in any way. I'm not trying to spread hate/destroy the community/whatever anti-FU people have been accused of recently, I'm just ignorant about editing my preferences because I've never needed to before. Someone tell me how to do this and I promise I'll never hate on FU again, in fact I've never really hated on FU I just don't think it's funny and don't want them all over my front page. Is that so much to ask? Somebody help, please

[–]bbjpftmf 0 points1 point ago

Yes, i said that in my original post, I have FU turned to the negative and almost every other subreddit turned to positive and FU is still the first subreddit that displays in the reddit toolbar and FU posts are still all over my frontpage. If this is all it takes to edit your preferences I have already figured it out, and figured out that in this case it isn't working.

[–]Poromenos[S] 0 points1 point ago

No, it has to say "+frontpage". If the button is red, it is in your frontpage.

That's way more reddits than we normally put on the front page. If you're going to do that, you might want to try it with ?limit=100

[–]ketralnis 0 points1 point ago* 

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So that will give you the just front-page worthy submissions from those subreddits?

The way we calculate the front page is we take the 10 most active reddits, and then we normalise their hotness, sort them by that, and display them. Using the + notation above, you can do the same thing, but specify the reddits we use.

So in general, yes, that will give you only front-page worthy articles from those reddits, but the fewer reddits you specify, the lower the threshold for display, if that makes sense

[–]bluecalx2 1 point2 points ago

If you only like reading a handful of subreddits, you can subscribe to a Multi-reddit's RSS feed. It's not really a great solution though because you have manually create a new feed every time you want to subscribe to new subreddits. Not ideal, but it works.

[–]thecrazyD 0 points1 point ago

There is no way to filter them out, but you can set up a RSS feed for the specific subreddits you want. The problem with this is, everything posted to the subreddit shows up in the feed, not just the top stuff.

As a one-off removal, I don't like it. It's like the overcomplication of the tax code to make exceptions for individual businesses or persons.

What I'd rather see is a way for all subreddit mods to adjust the impact of their own subreddit on ranking, some kind of multi-point slider, where 10 is "fully weighted" (what is now the normal algorithm), 0 is "not on the default list at all ever," and the ranks in between are varied weights between 10 and 0.

[–]Poromenos[S] 3 points4 points ago

The implementation of the feature you propose is already there, the scale is just binary :P

[–]palparepa 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This is good idea, but why would a subreddit choose anything besides 0 and 10? What does a 1 mean? "don't appear at the top unless something very-very important/popular happens"? What's a 9? "we are so popular that even with a handicap we are in the top 10"?

[–]Nougat 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, in reconsidering, it might be silly to have a scale. I forgot that only submissions to the top ten subreddits make the default home page and RSS. Somehow I had it in my head that very popular submissions from subreddits not in the top ten could appear there, but I believe that is incorrect.

If very popular submissions from non-top-ten subreddits could appear in the default home page, then a sliding scale might make more sense. As it is, an on/off checkbox does fine.

It's funny, despite Poromenos sclearly stating in the header that "Only upmods count, so if one of the options has 30 upmods and 1000 downmods, it will still count as 30", this post has almost as many downvotes as it does upvotes. For those of you without the Uppers and Downers userscript, here's what it looks like for the rest of us. Marvellous.

Only upmods count

But downmods still serve the psychological purpose of discouraging the bandwagon effect.

On the contrary, if people see one post at +250 and one at -1, what do you think they'll vote for? If it was 200/100, we'd have much less of it...

Well this isn't doing so well is it? I think we should keep it, and educate people to set reddit up as they want it. Where will this end if we take it off the front page for everyone?

[–]Poromenos[S] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, we only take it off the front page for unsubscribed users... Although now I'm not sure why people are downvoting it, since they're logged in and can presumably not see it at all...

[–]brainburger 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Surely it is not on the front page for unsubscribed users already? Am i missing something here? Do you mean the reddits banner at the top?

[–]Poromenos[S] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, new users who register for reddit get it by default...

[–]brainburger 0 points1 point ago* 

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well ok, then I stand by my original comment. New users get the most popular subreddits, but should learn how to tweak it to their own needs. It is only on the front page by default because it is popular and active. That is as it should be.

[–]Poromenos[S] 0 points1 point ago

I know, I don't know what's up with all the hate... I'm just trying to do what's best for the subreddit, i.e. keep the hate out of it.

[–]brainburger 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I sympathise, but if you feel FFFFFUUUUUUs are getting too many downvotes just from being on the frontpage, then they must presumably be getting upvotes for the same reason. Also, this must be affecting all submissions to the subreddit equally. I can't see how it can be disrupting the ordering within the subreddit itself.

If pressing the reddit coders to change anything, perhaps it would be better to advertise how to choose one's own frontpage reddits?

[–]Poromenos[S] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The way the algorithm works, though, 20/0 gets much higher than 200/180... We don't see many comics because of that nowadays.

The coders don't have to change anything, the code is already written and is just a matter of deciding.

I have spent perhaps half an hour trying to remove this subreddit from my frontpage. It's awesome, because no matter how many times I go to "edit", I can only click "frontpage"; even after removing it from my frontpage, it immediately still shows up in my front page. I started clicking the only other button available, "report", which caused the subreddit to disappear from my list, but it still shows up in my front page!

[–]Poromenos[S] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That's odd, if you click -frontpage it should go away. If it doesn't, I suggest you post a bug report...

[–]DapperDad 1 point2 points ago

Quality of the comics have dramatically dropped since it hit the front page. It was far better when just the people who liked them created them.

There is such a thing as too much of a good thing.

Yes - It must go away. It's not what Reddit is supposed to be about.

I support anything as a Subreddit. I wish the effort well where it's suitable, but not on the front page, please.

To be honest, I would like to see them not on the front page, but up at top. If I am in the mood to see them I can just click the link up top whereas if I'm not in the mood I don't have to worry about seeing them.

[–]Poromenos[S] 1 point2 points ago

That's my hope, I think we would still appear on the top bar but not in the frontpage or RSS...

The FFFFFFFFUUUUUUU comics are so old. Why is this popular on reddit right now?

[–]bbjpftmf 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

OK so I've been looking around the edit/preferences menu and cannot find a way to get FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU off of my front page. I thought I had figured it out with the +frontpage/-frontpage option menu but FFFFUUUUU is still on my front page. Please don't downvote me into oblivion just because I don't know how to change my reddit options, until FFFFFUUUUUU became the most popular and least interesting thing on reddit I would never have even thought of editing/changing reddit in any way. I'm not trying to spread hate/destroy the community/whatever anti-FU people have been accused of recently, I'm just ignorant about editing my preferences because I've never needed to before. Someone tell me how to do this and I promise I'll never hate on FU again, in fact I've never really hated on FU I just don't think it's funny and don't want them all over my front page. Is that so much to ask? Somebody help, please

[–]Poromenos[S] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Just click the "-frontpage" to the right in this page. If it says "+frontpage" and you still see the subreddit in your homepage, you need to tell the admins about it, it sounds like a bug...

[–]HighTensionWire 1 point2 points ago

why are so many people on this site such little pussys about the FUUU comic's if you dont like it dont look at them, you all sound like christians complaining that their are cuss words on the television

[–]PublicEye 0 points1 point ago*

I don't know much about webpages and I may be missing the point so correct me if I'm being an idiot but is there a way to multi-row the bar for the front page? If it looks to cluttered then maybe you could make the bar collapsable from multi to just one bar?

Perhaps also shortening the fffffffuuuuuuuuuu to FUUUU (I think 4 u's is plenty to get the point) or make it an acronymn like FC. Just throwing out ideas though.

[–]Poromenos[S] 0 points1 point ago

The fight is not about the top bar, it's about people seeing it in their front page by default, even if they are unsubscribed... I also don't think it can be renamed...

[–]reeksofhavoc 0 points1 point ago

The only strips that get down voted are the stupid ones. I don't think people are down voting them just because.

I feel so bad. A few days ago, I thought, these FFFFFFUUUUU comics are pretty funny, I'll subscribe so they're on my front page. My hands have the blood of a Reddit Civil War on them... (if only there was a way of finishing off this story. Like some kind of word yelled in rage.)

Doesn't removing FFFFFFUUUUU this way go against the entire point of Reddit's voting system, and as such the entire point of Reddit? It will go away as people lose interest, just like everything else.

I just heard the sound of the world's smallest violin.

Popular subreddit appears on the front page? People don't unsubscribe? Shit gets downmodded? There is a problem here?

Fuck, I subscribe to less popular subreddits JUST to downmod shit.

Reddit is what you make it. It is user generated. Don't try to control that. Just let it be.
