AIBU vote option is ridiculous

Just that. It takes up a lot of room on the screen of my phone and squashes the text. It’s horrible to read and I want to waaaaHAAA !

Totally agree. Its a pointless gimmick anyway but I assume it's been made mandatory now judging by the front page being covered in the stupid Vote thing.

I love it!

BaronessBomburst · 06/12/2019 21:54

I like it on the first page.
The next 26 pages, not so much. Confused

Can't believe you didn't let us have a vote on whether yabu.

Dahlietta · 06/12/2019 21:58

I quite like it actually, but I don't like the people who set one up without making it clear what you're voting for.

I quite like it..

Oh God yes, this ^^

I've lost count of how many times I've had to change my vote because it wasn't clear.

I like it. You get a real idea of what people think but don't post incase they get flamed

Davros · 06/12/2019 22:13

I use my phone and have never seen it. I'd like to

carlywurly · 06/12/2019 22:13

I've never even seen it on either my iPad or iPhone. Confused

slashlover · 06/12/2019 23:00

I wish it was compulsory, might stop all the non AIBU posts.

CustomerCervixDepartment · 06/12/2019 23:21

Most of the spammy drivel posts that put in the option seem to do it out of stupidity, like ‘oopps didn’ meen to put vote in how delete mods” xxx’. Fuckin sort your lives out 😄
‘Bubba is 12 and eats soup.’ Vote YABU or YANBU

Davros · 06/12/2019 23:34

carlywurly it's not just me then? I tried to get it on my laptop and phone but couldn't get it to work

GinaCarbonara · 07/12/2019 02:18

I use the app and don't have it yet.

RhymingRabbit3 · 07/12/2019 02:26

I dont mind it but I think there are a lot of improvement which could be made, such as

  • being able to change your vote when you make a mistake or OP drip feeds an important piece of info later
  • ability for OP to remove if necessary (so many posts say "whoops, didnt mean to make a vote"
  • ability for OP to have a way to change the headings for the vote buttons (character limited) because "YABU" and "YANBU" often dont make sense.
  • no need to display the votes past page 1

I also wish posters would stop being ridiculous and doing things like "you're not unreasonable but I voted YABU because you spelt the title wrong"

SilverDragonfly1 · 07/12/2019 06:06

Making the answers Yes and No would allow a lot more clarity. A poster can still end the post 'Am I being unreasonable?' but also with other relevant questions if needed.

It doesn't seem to be available consistently to users e.g. it isn't available on the app. If it's going to become such an important part of the site and increasingly dominate discussions on entire threads then that seems really odd.

Last time I raised it with IT they said they had no plans to make it available on the app Hmm
