Should we have a “Fight”, and or “Brain damage” category?

I like brain damage idea.

There is a brain damage category, it's called "self-harm"

Brain damage

I think brain damage is a bad idea, it’s far too difficult to ascertain what constitutes brain damage simply from watching a video. My concern is it will dilute videos that would’ve otherwise shown up in the existing flair.

Why not. If it only adds to the search options.

I think we should have rated backstories as a lable or category. After a good short read like a half or one page or a news article the clip is way more interesting.

Also for Karma a lable or category in case of human vs human or victim revenge. That way one can indulge in a little justified violence.

No, unless it's be a second flair of some sort, more for the categorizing / sorting purposes than being a separate one. This would solve many other problems without multiplying the 'basic' set of flairs.

We've tried to add /h/fight or/h/bumfights for months, Just gotta see what happens

Why not both?

No, as uploader it would be very here to distinguish brain damage. Fights are on Twitter too.

I'd think most fights would go under the 'Beating' category...as for brain damage, that could be a flair but ffs it would be a common one. Most of the videos with any sort of blunt force trauma already contain what I assume to be some sort of brain damage if not death. Personally I think the categories already cover these both pretty well.

What might be more helpful is a 'No Death' flair or warning or w/e. Then if you had a fight where no one is technically dead you could still have it in the 'beating' category with a 'no death' warning.

Then again the rules do say posts must include people dying so, I dunno, maybe another category entirely is warranted to not muddle the ones that do include people dying.

I think it's a bad idea to keep adding categories, as videos already are sorted and adding categories mean it would have to be resorted, but nobody is going to do that, so it will only e partially applied, just making it more chaotic. I think best would be to implement a new system on top that is backwards compatable, but allows to add one video to several categories, so also old videos could get a new tag, which could have rank system so all users can tag all videos. And then everybody could decide if they want to search by category or tags. The code is open source, but I have no idea if anybody would be willing to implement such a huge change to the code base and if admins would like the idea. But it would be the cleanest solution.

The whole flair thing needs a rework.

Brain damage is only going to fill up with selfies.

Gonna turn into worldstar right quick

I'm down with not only more flairs, but sub-flairs as well.

But I'm not really an IT guy, maybe that would be a bitch and a half?

I think a "Fight" category could be a thing, as long as it separated War, Shootings, etc., and kept it to 1 on 1 combat that doesn't result in death. Street fights. As for "Brain Damage" I think the Accident category covers that within its realm.

Unrelated, but I read that as "Brian damage" like 5 times and was like "so just a flair with people beating up guys named Brian?" and was so fucking confused 😭

fights

YEASSSSSHHHH

I don't really get what "brain damage" would be. As for fights, I'm down for that.

just called it the world star hiphop category

I like the brain damage idea. For the videos beyond a brutal KO. Like the gang stompings or the beatings that end in seizures. But instead of brain damage, can we call it "Super Necessary" 😂

Brain dead baby

That's a good idea

I always wanted countries as a category. That way we can shift from high quality videos from Europe and the states. That way I can avoid the 240p video in India where you can’t see anything.

No one likes the self harm section though
