Should sage be visible again? What the hell not? People will always be stupid, no use getting around it.
Also remove flags from /pol/, it's /int/2.0.
Two of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard in my life.

I agree, making sage invisible and adding country flags to /pol/ were dumb ideas. One appeased idiots and the other was used to fuck up a board. Both should be undone.

Being purposefully obtuse is not the way to live
Since visible sage was removed, there has been a 99% decline in people using it as an insult/downvote and a commensurate decline in people getting butthurt because someone saged their thread.
If you wish to make a case for making sage visible again, you're going to need a better argument than "why the hell not."

There has also been a decline in people actually using it, which is the problem. Without visible sage, most newfags don't know about it
>>353547
Newfags should read the FAQ. I suppose that's a pipe dream, though.

So? Most people wouldn't use sage even if they knew about it. But if you really want people to know sage exists, you could always just put a 'Sage' checkbox next to the post form.

why is that the problem? do you get paid for each sage?

It means every retard bumps a thread each time they post. There is tons of uses, with a good one being, not necro-bumping just like I'm avoiding right now. Other good uses are, not bumping shit threads, offtopic discussion without bumping and if you're a moronic retard, a downvote. There are dozen other reasons, don't be a retard

That's actually not a bad idea. I still use it from time to time on pointless threads where I want to help OP out but the issue is kinda stupid. Having it as a checkbox (with an explanation for idiots) would probably help stupid threads not get bumped.
However, one should also consider that since the catalog has been implemented, sage has actually lost a good deal of its purpose. But that's a whole other issue.
It's pretty simple
We make it so every post is saged by default and you need to write "bump" in the Options to bump a thread.
>>355387
That would be unintuitive.

Just like the current system.
