No need for this. Not only this will create more drama, but that would also give more reasons to spam users with pointless notifications. Trolls are likely to abuse it. We have like abuse already.

The like button is originally intended to make helpful posts stand out from the rest.
Giving noobs a better view of who's more reputable/what posts contain useful information.

Unfortunately, trolls have abused that, margen69 or whatever his name was commenced in an entire like spam-a-thon.
Not to mention that you also could just post dumb shit and farm likes with it.

No, a dislike button would just create a fuck ton of drama.
Not to mention that this is GBATemp, not Youtube.

Yes, and it should downvote and hide posts, just like my website, Reddit :^)!

This website would be a lot better as an echo chamber!

Drumroll ....
And the results are in.
We got 17 Nos
And 7 Yeas.

I gotta say I laughed real hard when I mentioned the word "dislike" to the millennial generation in the web.

Dislike is like a jail or a death sentence to you people isn't it?

Lmao.

"We only want likes not dislikes."
Hahaha.

Ok let's shut this down now.

Yeah there should be a dislike button...if you want the blog section to go bananas with posts people complaining about how they are treated unfairly and that life is crap in general etc. And while you are at it, you can rename this site to reddit 2 :tpi:

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
