This has been suggested ever since we added a Like button and the simple reason we don't have it is because it would be abused and just cause unnecessary drama. If you don't like the quality of the post, then simply not like it.

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.
I am going to +1 this comment.
Yesterday I logged on and had 20 notifications from a bot liking all of my posts and it only seemed to have stopped after they were banned. I would seriously hate to long on with twice that much spam because someone thinks they are being funny spamming me.

I like having lots of notifications when I log on. It makes me feel important! :D

This forum already has something so much better than a dislike button. It's called the 'Ignore' feature. I've just used it for @Engert and @haipro2001. Results so far are very promising.
Also if there is a post that is quite wrong (bad info in a thread were it could f you such as the tech section) then just comment on it and reply why it is wrong.

In all seriousness, yes this is a much more sensible and productive way of expressing your disagreement with something somebody else has posted. By doing so, you give rationale for why you disagree with or dislike it, which helps others and promotes discussion. Simply pressing 'dislike' does nothing other than express one's opinion, something in which I have very limited interest :P

Unnecessary and not common for forums, therefore I'm not up for it. Basically the OP of the disliked post would hate the disliker and just bash him creating drama. Everything is fine here.

And 12 Yes.

So basically to wrap it up:

Dislike buttons are drama and unecessary and are not cool but

Like buttons are cool and drama-free.

Hahaha. How do you people live in the real world (during the 5 minutes you go outside your house)?

Oh man....I haven't laughed this hard since @Hyro-Sama used to post.

Actually can we have a dislike button, but have it just for me. Its mere existence would be a benefit to the site.

I promise to use it with the same spirit and vigour that I use the like button.
