Eh, I wish their was no button for like OR dislike. Just state why the comment is good other than like whoring

Then how could they even run a forum using XenForo? XenForo forums are usually fuck hard to run.
Forum software has gotten really easy to the consumer over the years. I'm sure a 9 year old could do a MC themed one if he wanted to lol

All a dislike button would do is discourage people from posting anything remotely controversial and give trolls an easy tool. Interesting conversations would die and people would get pissed off. Could you imagine what would happen in any of the threads with politics in them? It would be a total shitstorm. terrible idea

Normally I would question whether that happens, however I will go with it does for whatever reason and then call that a good thing. Those which push through it will have learned not to give a fuck and that is a good thing to have learned. I occasionally liken forums I go on to pubs and workshops, and truly despise the modern trend for nobody gets their feelings hurt and shelter you from the scary world until you are 64, and learning to not care about dislikes would further that.
Failing that treat it like youtube does and count both a like and a dislike as an interaction and make no distinction between the two.

XenForo likes to shit itself randomly, and has a really gross permissions system. It's the most difficult to use that I've tried, and phpBB is the easiest.

Thats actually a very interesting way of looking at it. I never even considered that. Ironically, one of the reasons that I want controversial posts is because they force people to adapt instead of babying them. Always interesting to see how things can go 2 ways.

I mainly only ever use site: and - (and -site: of course). Both are well worth having, if only to get rid of wikipedia if you are searching for information and avoiding having to filter things by reading so much, actually and quotes so as to dodge the spell checking that is not the best at times.

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.
well sometimes there are people who can't take a dislike or criticism and they create drama from there; and especially it happens a lot on the internet as its not a real life thing where you can identify a person's character and personality through their way of speaking etc
