NYAHAAH! I love irony (intentional or not)

Maybe a copied story should automatically register as a star.  Hmm....

I agree with this. Of course, and remove the star if you drop it and copy another or write your own. Evidently, the other story you copied receives the star.

So, rather than starring stories because they sound good first hand, eventually the system would correct itself and let sprout stories that are actually effective. If you never have to drop a story (assuming you are not lazy and actually use another) it will always stay starred by you. The stories actually used by more people would be the ones with better rating.

I'm at 800 and I've been copying all the stories with cut and paste.  I didn't realize that icon was there to copy the story until now.  aaahhh oh well.

I liked it. An entirely unexpected winking reprimand.

It's not too difficult to avoid multiple repeats (which, after all, is the intended effect). 

Is it possible that you're reading it with a more serious tone than intended? (I mean...condescending?)

Surreal, I have lowered the "cooldown" interval so that it should be far less annoying. The 1 second cooldown was too long, thanks for reminding me about it.

Yes, the javascript/frontend side "cooldown" interval is a simple solution to what is sometimes referred as "throttling". The website is not hosted on a dedicated server, and a minimum amount of prevention also needs to be inplace for the unintended double clicks, to avoid sending double requests and sending unnecessary server requests.

I also at first changed the text to something far more insipid, and then decided to restore it to the original. It can be seen as condescending perhaps, although my dictionary says "buddy" also means "mate" or "friend". Regardless life would be very annoying without this message so I let it in

PS: I understand that Surreal was simply irritated by the long pause required between clicks, and probably felt more negative about the message than would have otherwise.

PPS: forgot to say, that is in the upcoming update, which goes on test this weekend, so the change will be effective very soon.

ROFL, that video seemed to take a lot longer than 1:39 !

Reminds me of the south park episode, I'm not your friend, buddy

South Park! Wheee. Love that show.

Indeed... I don't think they did it for that long in the actual episode though.

Could it be that the lowered "cooldown" has negative aspects, too?

In my last review I wondered that I had finished so fast. Then I realized that whenever I pressed "Y" or "N" always two Kanji "passed" or "failed". However, when I use the mouse everything is fine and only one Kanji is "passed" or "failed".

Or is this just a problem with my computer?
