If you make something 'idiot-proof', somebody will always come along and find you a better idiot.

While true, if we do not continue the war on idiocy, we will have lost to the idiots. Purple monkey dishwasher.

Purple monkey dishwasher.

How the hell did this even catch on?

Same way most things catch on--Simpsons.

Wouldn't it be more effective then to just not idiot-proof anything and let natural selection take care of the idiots?

Problem with that is that not idiot-proofing anything can allow idiots to do idiotic things to OTHER people.

Speaking as someone who spends a lot of time designing user interfaces on a day to day basis, this statement is factually true, but unrealistic.

There's a big difference between "this button will make your song magically disappear if you press it once at the end of a song" and "this other, much more deliberate action will do something similar".

I get the fact that rating is supposed to be easy, but tying the Hide Song filter to the (very simple to accidentally rate) system was a very bad idea when 1-lighter is the default for a single input.

At the very least Harmonix should have patched in the feature to start you at 2 lighters for the first button press, so that you don't accidentally give 1 lighter to something at a party.

I'd say start with three lighters, and allow someone to move up and down from there, since non-rated songs are sorted as if they were three lighters anyway, right?

[SheSaidSheSaid]

I think no rating counts the same as 2 lighters, actually. Half as likely to come up in a random setlist. 3 is baseline, 4 is twice as likely, 5 is......really likely? was there a multiplier?....and zero is never unless there's no choice.

Ehh, found it spelled out. No rating = same as 3 lighters, which is baseline. 4 lighters is 1.5x as likely, 5 lighters is twice as likely. So I was about half right

"this button will make your song magically disappear if you press it once at the end of a song"

I assume you mean press TWICE, since pressing it once would set you to ZERO lighters, and that's assuming it was at five to begin with.

Also, the song isn't instantly hidden. If you one-lighter a song, it stays visible until you off/on the filter, or exit the song menu and then re-enter it.
