I was wondering if, in your profile, you could have a yes or no to "can the randomizer select you when someone uses it?" Some people don't like the randomizer selecting them. I don't have a problem with it but I've seen this concern brought up before.
I don't have a problem with it either, but I think this should've been there from day one. Make it happen.
Yep agree if it can be done.
Agree if it can be done
Wow so my post did go through. I got this error message when I posted.
yeah, same here. go for it
same here, go for it, I've already seen people who complained about this.
Go for it. I don't have a problem with the randomizer picking me, but there are users (especially new users) who absolutely detest it when the randomizer picks them. On the subject of the randomizer, could it be fixed such that % L no longer returns null?
i have no problems with the randomizer either i love it as many of you know lol but yes this is not a bad idea, and i think too that new users could have this option turned off by default and then decide if turning it on or not after they know what it is about, because there's alot of misunderstanding with new people
certainly agree, yeh
agree with what has been said
I like the idea of having the new users have it off at first, untill they know what it's about, then they can turn it on for themselves.
yeah, lory, u r right with that matter.
very good idea worsty
I also think this is a good idea. Personally, I would sometimes like to change to public QuickNotes, but, while I don't have any issues with being in some randomized messages, I honestly feel uncomfortable seeing my name as part of the sexual ones. So having a yes/no randomizer setting thing would be nice because while people can freely write/have whatever messages they want, individuals could also choose whether or not they wanted to take a chance that their name could be part of such messages.
You might be comfortable with some of them, but uncomfortable with the others, but that is why it is the randomizer, either we have it or we don't at all. You can't block what extra text people type then put someone in. it is just hapenstance. Frankly I'm not too keen on this idea. the abality to pick a random person is all the fun. if you don't want to be in it, honestly I say too bad. it's not like the person can choose who they want to use.
Oh I didn't mean like us getting to choose which messages we could/wanted to be randomized on,; I wouldn't expect the ability to choose what specific messages I would/wouldn't want to be randomized for. I meant more like being able to choose having/not having my name randomized at all, regardless of the message/user. I was just giving my personal example on why having the randomizer option suggested in the 1st post would be a good idea. *smile*
oh, sorry. I saw myself when I came on here two years ago in something like that, but didn't think much about it. I think it goes with the type of person and if you're offended easily. but that is just me.
No problem. *smile* I'm sorry too actually; I noticed when I reread my first post, that I didn't say in Post 17 what I should've said in Post 15. Yeah, that's really part of why I just don't use Public QN-ing, so I won't see or know if my name comes up randomly in situations that are offensive to me. My thinking was that since I agree that people do have a right to say whatever they want on their messages, that the randomizer setting would be good for people who would just rather not be part of having their names randomized could choose to do that. For me, I rarely go on Public QN's anyway, so that's working fine for me, but I think it would be especially good for those who are/want to be on Publics more. Just my opinion. *smile*
I like this idea but I think that if you decide to turn off your name being able to be randomized I think that if you are premium you should not be able to randomize... because just watch, people will chicken out on the randimizing and get pissed when they can't randomize the people they want.
Even though that last sentance is a little unrelated, I think if you are going to use the feature you should have it available to use you...
another good idea, i don't see the point in using the randomiser, if everyone chickens outm, it would be pointless. i think perhaps, if we implimented that feature, that may happen. not sure. hmmm
I definitely am against this feature so am in agreeing with we need to have a choice.
This is now available under account settings.
hmm, I still think that if you don't wish to be randomized you shouldn't be able to use %u %s %f %m %
a for any reason. you should be able to use all randomizer comands that don't affect any other user if y you arn't going to use it your self as this is a way of wimping out. like for example, you can't play the lotto and not put cash in.. I'm not sure if this all made total sense but yeh, just my take on it.
if you are going to use it, you must let it use you...
Striker, makes perfect sense. mehh, I don't care either way.
Agreed, and it's now so. You must be in the randomizer to use it.
cool, thanks
The randomiser rocks. If people don't want to be used in it, i think that is fine. However, I think most people would still let them selves be used in it.
PS: teach it more words.
