Suggestion We've got Like, but what about Dislike?

Seriously .. why can't we dislike something for it's uselessness?

 

Probably because it would be open to all sorts of abuse, one member doesn't like another so goes through all his posts clicking the "dislike" button

 

Fair enough, I dislike this useless thread.......happy now?

 

Limiting ones actions to a few dislikes per day and restricting multiple dislikes on the same target (user, thread, post) could be a solution to that.

Receiving a dislike isn't something one should be happy about and I'm not an exception.

 

Be honest with me, I'm not going to be receiving "Best Answer" for my post am I?

 

I get you, I sometimes miss negative rep, too. However, malky66 makes a very good point.

 

No.

 

Drat!..........I didn't get *Best Answer!*

 

Dislike button will bring a lot of troubles, cause when I call someone ''retarded person'' he can give me a dislike for being right..And I don't want to get dislikes for being right...

 

the end is nigh then eh...

eg neg rep was why I stopped posting previously as it's easy to suck up, but people gang up against a bit of truthful so called negativity, as people only want to hear what they want to hear & not the truth.

I for one would stop posting once that gets put in place, but then that is probably a good thing anyway so no loss there LOL.

 

..it certainly wouldn't put me off posting, likes/dislikes...who cares...lol, it's only a number at the end of the day...bring it on....

 

well you would certainly get a lot by those complaining about you pulling them up or spotting you reporting them on spy as they could me LOL

 

I prefer the current solution. If you dislike the post, don't like it

 

And if

and if it is really a worthless piece of crap "report it"

 

I used to get occasional negative reps in the old system but it never hurt me and I don't mind getting a few more at all because I understand when you are on a discussion forum you can't expect everyone to agree with you.
I am a supporter of negative rep/dislike feature. Because there are lots of trolls, dumb people, sick minds etc on these forums. It is community's best defense against trolls. There are lots of them out there. In the old system trolls used to get kicked out from P&R and lost their Marketplace privileges due to negative rep so it was very useful. Now there is no such system in place.

So you are saying that you were the truth teller and there was some sort of conspiracy to out you and the gang succeeded because you ended up taking a break from the forum. I think it is unlikely. When someone gives you red it costs them a whole reputation point too. That's how old system worked. So you must have done something special to get that sort of attention.

 

No not at all it's that any negative comment disagreeing seemed to get jumped on and neg repped in the old system depending if you offended one person with a comment they or their friends didn't like for example..

The system could easily be played now for example. as it would be all too easy to take the joke approach to things to get likes if you think about it. Not that it is really important at the end of the day it's only a forum after all but it could easily be played IMHO.
