I've noticed there is no facility for an 'annotation bank' to allow us to annotate ideas with only marginal scanning of the text and putting no thought into the annotation at all.
We could massively increase the annotations per idea if this were implemented. For example, I could have: "This idea
looks good in theory but may run into practical problems during implementation." and "I wonder if you could explain something about how you arrived at this idea?" or even just "[marked-for-deletion]"?
What do you think of this then?

Do we really want to //massively increase the annotations per idea//?
I'd prefer to read well-thought-out, idea-specific annotations, rather than generic drivel.
If you must use this concept, create a .txt file (Notepad is your friend) of responses, and use copy/paste as you need. |
|
| |
One thing about this idea that I like is that it has a GOOD QUALITY. However, it also has a BAD QUALITY, so I'm gonna have to say neutral. |
|
| |
Perhaps with such a feature, the autoboner might comment? I presume the autoboning without comment is due to the high volume of ideas to assign bones to, and not enough time to write comments. |
|
| |
[daseva] - it means much to me that you took the time to comment :) |
|
| |
Grrr, sometimes this autoboner stuff really gets my goat. |
|
| |
Sometimes I find an idea sufficiently annoying/bad/nasty/bleh to bone, yet uninteresting enough to comment. No big deal. |
|
| |
Presumably, there are others like me who act like rational human beings. |
|
| |
In a given community of x people, all of whom have differing tastes, moods and preferences, it's perfectly reasonable to assume that out of the entire population, many ideas will attract at least one bone. Not only is it likely, I'd guess that the phenomena that we ascribe to the autoboner is an inevitable consequence of this kind of system. |
|
| |
It's not cowardly, it's not a matter of good vs evil, or people holding grudges or having personality flaws, it's just the way it is. Please, for the love of all that is pure, good, and wholesome, can we all just get over it? |
|
| |
We're all rational creatures, and many of us are comfortable with the truth about Father Christmas, why is it so different in this case? |
|
| |
If we must have our craven images, and want someone to dress up and pretend to be The Autoboner, I hearby announce that from now on (this idea excepted, I'm boning it because I don't like it) any idea where the poster references the autoboner, or whinges about getting bones and no comments will receive my bone, on principle, without comment (assuming I can be arsed to do even that). |
|
| |
I will happily don the mask, cloak and other trappings of our merry fish-hurler. Laughing evil-geniously, I will skulk from idea to idea with my little sack o'bones hoiked over my shoulder, dishing out my smelly charms to all the naughty 'bakers who invoke my displeasure - muahahahaha! And don't forget, when you tuck your children in at night, to tell them that if they don't stop crying over silly things, The Autoboner will put a fishbone under their pillow! |
|
| |
I think that it's a *first* thing. |
|
| |
//sometimes this autoboner stuff really gets my goat.// |
|
| |
Had I one, it would get my goat too. However, I ate mine last Wednesday with some fava beans and a nice chianti. |
|

I offer my services as sidekick to you in the form of THE MONGER. I have a stockpile of aquatic distaste suitable for flinging at sulking bakers from afar. They'll never know it was me!
MWUHAHAHAHAHA!!! |

"annotate ideas with only marginal scanning of the text" |
|
| |
Hm....been there, done that. It's just a sign you're spending too much time on the site, and need to go put the kettle on, make a nice cup of tea, and get a life. |
|
| |
//Sometimes I find an idea sufficiently annoying/bad/nasty/bleh to bone, yet uninteresting enough to comment. No big deal.// Which is why you need reusable annotations - you can comment with a single click, even whilst you are in your guise as The Autoboner |
|

This would be a boon to spamlords. (-) |
|
| |
Besides, I like the HB's trait of unique
anno's and humor. This would kill that. |
|
| |
This would be bad, but I once set it up for annotations about a couple of my pet peeves. I put a line of text in my profile saying, "I'm the guy who often says, 'This is obvious, and is only waiting on developing technology.'" Then I could copy and paste it without having to find a text file. I deleted it recently, in favor of writing something original each time. But if you look in my profile, you'll see that I can still copy and paste, then do some editing. |
|
| |
I wonder if you could explain something about how you arrived at this idea? |
|
| |
[Actually, in retrospect, we should have all just annotated this idea with annotations randomly recycled from other ideas.] |
|
| |
"may run into practical problems during implementation." [marked-for-tagline] |

(oops, sorry, wrong macro). |

\\However, I ate mine last Wednesday with some fava beans and a nice chianti\\ And I didn't even realise that leopards ate goats. |

Sorry, but reusable annos are kind of like reusable toilet paper... |

I believe this violates the second law of thermodynamics. You might want to consider implementing custard. |

We have compelling evidence from our
security forces that these weapons could
be used to deliver an attack to the heart of
the United Kingdom in as little as 45
minutes. |
|

I could easily bake this by acting like a complete idiot. |
|
| |
"Oh no, not another idea involving (x)" |
|
| |
where (x) = custard / exercise power / pirates / bluetooth... |
|
| |
You could call this "Bog Standard". |

Databasing is fun, but it would be a real mess implimenting this system due to the gigantic number of annos in the database already that would need to be scrolled through in order to come up with repeat anno trends, and you wouldn't want to use a computer for it because it could easily get tricked. |

Is that why you've boned all my ideas? I
didn't realize I was a sufficient condition
to bone. |

It's off my topic, but who wants to post "Gyroscopes for motorcycles"? |
