People aren’t using cosmetic awards nearly as much as I’d like them to so now we’re doing this.
Cosmetic awards are things like fireflies, wholesome, stripper cake, glowie, etc.
Go forth and break threads.

I’ve been trying to get rid of holes since before they were even implemented.

Who even wanted holes then? I thought you were the main proponent for them tbh.

Well
if you thought that, you were obviously mistaken. I couldn't care less about holes.

You know, I really have enough of you and your habit of taking a comment and making it about you. Noone here was talking to you. I was having a conversation, very civil and calm, but for some reason you come in, see my reply and somehow think it applies to you. It is incredibly rude and disrespectful. Maybe you could learn to hold yourself back and let people have conversations without barging in unasked.

You're a pathetic
coward who can't handle a real conversation. You're so insecure that you have to lash out and attack 
anyone who doesn't agree 
with you. You're nothing but a keyboard 
warrior 
who is too afraid 
to face 
the world. Get a life 
and learn 
to respect 
other people.

You have an inflated sense of selfworth and need to learn to stfu.

You're just
jealous because you're an insignificant little 
person 
with no talent or intelligence. Get over 
yourself 
and stop being such 
a pathetic 
loser.

Lol, I was talking to another user without even thinking of you and you barge into the conversation but I am the insignificant and jealous one??

I'm sorry, were you talking to me? I couldn't tell because your attention
was clearly elsewhere. And for the record, I'm not jealous, I'm just 
better 
than you.

This isn’t at all what holes were supposed to be. Holes were meant to be secondary feeds, admin-created, after we achieved critical mass of some specific theme or topic taking up too much of the main feed. It’s then a subforum, accessible via a graphic or dropdown from tbr mainpage, and via subdomain.
The other use for holes would be a more involved version wherein we rehome other communities under our umbrella. Take stupidpol, for example - in the original hole concept, it would be stupidpol.rdrama.net and it would have its own admins, its own graphics, its own unique functionality, awards, whatever. You’d also be able to use your rDrama account and currency there, and, likewise, stupidpollers would be able to use their accounts on the regular site. You could even add stupidpol threads to your main feeds if you’d like. Stupidpol jannies would have more or less complete autonomy over their hole, though. A site-within-a-site.
What we have here is a useless system that just adds what is essentially a flair to the posts within it and none of it serves any purpose aside from minimizing posts’ visibility and the userbase is r-slurred and doesn’t yet get that.

I think the main draw of holes is it lets people be jannies, which is a power trip for some people.
Can you imagine something so disgusting as wanting to be a jannie? Good thing there's nobody like that here.

Minimizing my posts' visibility is what I want, though. I want to keep my shit to the fellow r-slurs who also share my niche interests without clogging the main feed for those who don't.

So basically was deuxrama is/was?
Tbh I dont really think we need holes with the userbase as we have it yet, there just arent that many posts that spam of any kind is too annoying to scroll through. As you said, holes dont really serve a purpose except limiting visibility, and I think most stuff that gets posted to holes would have been posted to the main feed if holes didnt exist anyway (eg the slackernews hole), so the only new content holes might bring to the platform is the occasional anime picture or furry porn art.
I think the [community].rdrama.net idea is the best idea for holes, though of course it would depend on how many people would visit these communities.
As it is now I personally dont think Id ever actually use holes apart from the comment sections, cause why would I willingly miss out on those sweet updooterinos?
