Feature Request: "I fucked up. Can you help me out?"

[gichiba]

So, I feel like the 'WTF? And how can I help?" is not really ever going to be used in the context it's intended for. Because we can tell each other "Fuck Yeah!" and "WTF?" anyways, through DM. The only benefit to sending this message through the bot is that it gets pulled into the leaderboard and shared for all to see. And putting someone else's fuck up on a billboard for the company to see just doesn't feel good.

A second point, is that when one is fucking up, one usually knows it -- That's part of what makes fucking up such a terrible experience. Often you can feel it happening, or even see it coming up in the future, and yet still feel powerless to reverse/prevent it. Sometimes its helpful for productivity and for moving on just to publicly admit you've fucked up, instead of quietly letting the fuck up fade away gradually. Asking for help is easier when you have admitted a small defeat.

So I propose a third feedback form, that could either replace or supplement the WTF comment: "I fucked up. Can you help me out?". -- a message that allows you to post a public confession of any fuck up, and penalize one's own leaderboard score, by the same amount as a WTF, and which also can be sent to someone else. But in this case, it's to a person who seems likely able to sort out a problem, find a solution, or othewise un-fuck a situation faster than it can be done alone.

That seems a lot more fitting with Colony culture than the WTF.
