I would like to be able to give users a private bun - for my eyes only -- for a good idea, and then be able to see a listing of users in order of who I have given the most buns to, or the most fishbones to. Maybe there could be a view where the private user rating could determine the priority of postings, so I would see more postings from the bunny and less from the boney.-- JesusHChrist, Apr 28 2013 Tennents http://www.tennents.com/ [pocmloc, Apr 28 2013] I am privately bunning this idea--or am I?-- Alterother, Apr 28 2013 private [+]-- pocmloc, Apr 28 2013 I don't understand why you can't do this yourself with a spreadsheet, a textfile or a piece of paper or something.-- Loris, Apr 28 2013 (Loris) I could, but I could also just run over to your house to deliver this annotation with a quill and parchment. I'm just saying it would be nice on HB or on facebook to have the system help you augment your own private capabilities, thus making each one of us stronger, rather than just augmenting our capability to interact, although I realize this is contrary to the main Tennents of the book of Faceness.-- JesusHChrist, Apr 28 2013 //tennants// sp. "tenets", "tenants" or "ten ants": pick one.-- FlyingToaster, Apr 28 2013 Uh, why? The last thing we need is MORE personal bubble filtering.-- Hive_Mind, Apr 28 2013 Although again, if you wanted to, you could just do it with a text file and the view editor and stuff. For instance, I've got a personal "Nutter filter" page which filters out posts by [JesusHChrist] and [beanangel].-- Hive_Mind, Apr 28 2013 What? I can't hear you, my [HM] filter is on. (Starts a private bone column in his excel spreadsheet.)-- JesusHChrist, Apr 28 2013 [Hive]- that doesn't make sense or else you should not see this post, n'est pas? As for the idea, I'll keep my vote private.-- xandram, Apr 29 2013 If it's a private bun/bone then we're into "if a tree falls in the forest..."territory..
Also leaves me to conclude that all of my ideas have racked up a near infinite amount of secret buns, and quite rightly so.-- not_morrison_rm, Apr 29 2013 Not sure if I want you bunning _or_ boning my privates, JHC. That's not a no, but an undecided.
I would change my vote to + if you alter your user name to Private Boney Bunney. Treon was able to switch over on the fly, so you can too.-- bungston, Apr 29 2013 Undecided I can work with. And I have to admit, [bungston] there is something about your username that has always attracted me.-- Private Boney Bunney, Apr 30 2013 hee hee.-- po, Apr 30 2013 You misunderstand. The filter filters out those posts and then pushes them to the front page. I use it when I'm in need of something entertainingly odd.
I see how that could be misinterpreted now, and I feel pretty stupid.-- Hive_Mind, May 01 2013 Oops sorry about that. Hmm well this is quite a fix I have gotten myself into over a simple misunderstanding. I got all excited, changed my identity and sexual orientation in response to being filtered out as a "nutter" and now find out that it was all a slip of the cognition. Standing here in my Private's beanie and mosquito wings feeling my side and wondering where my stigmata went. #sheepish #oops #buyersremorse-- Private Boney Bunney, May 01 2013 <glares at bungston>-- FlyingToaster, May 02 2013 [bungston] deserves to be punished, using chemicals and hungry insects.-- xenzag, May 02 2013 [Private Boney Bunney], don't feel too badly. This has happened to more than one of us here.-- Sparky the Wonder Dog, May 02 2013 random, halfbakery
