Dislike button

[The Catboy]

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.

I voted yes so I can dislike Engert's posts.

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've used the like button on your post. whether or not i did so sarcastically i'l leave up to you.

You are already doing it right

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.

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

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

I personally believe the like feature is unnecessary and I wouldn't care if it was removed. It's probably the most abused feature on this site.

Ironic like provided.

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.

 

[Engert]

29 Nos
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.

Says mr. MILK IS EVIL BWAHHHH

Oh believe me, most of us do live in the real world.

 

[Engert]

Dislike buttons are someone's WRONGFUL opinion but Likes are not!

Ahahahah.

DISLIKE.

Come on boys keep the votes and comments coming.

 

[LittleFlame]

Can we get a lock here there's not gonna be any more intelligent responses

 

[Engert]

That's what I said in the first page actually.
Let's shut this topic down! Enough laughs for today and enough tortured souls over the idea of Dislike. Lmao.

 

[VinsCool]

There. you have it now :>

 

[FAST6191]

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.

 

[grossaffe]

there is a dislike button, but it's labelled "Ignore"

Edit: looks like Mashers beat me to that one.
