Dislike Button for MOD and Dev Posts Only

[Demon6324236]

Logic: There may be some people who actually like changes. It's a fucking weird concept to grasp I know, but maybe..just maybe some people actually like something others don't?

We're humans aren't we?

There are some things so stupid that no sane person could possibly like.

A dislike button won't change anything, when people dislike an update or a nerf they voice their concerns and the devs ignore them, like they always have. All a dislike button will do is show the devs how many people they managed to piss off this week who were too annoyed to make an actual post.

Also think of it from the player base point of view. A lot of people just dont' read posts, but that same person that doesn't read anything could also see that people realy like or hate the idea. Devs/mods/reps may still ignore what people are saying, but a visual reminder of X dislikes, is a lot harder to just pass over.

People like changes THAT AFFECT THEM AND EVERYONE ELSE NEGATIVELY? Do they really? Ugh... I just don't know what to do with some of you sometimes.

Fire. It is the only way.

"We are so insecure we can't stand the idea that someone might not like what WE have to say, but we demand the right to do the same for the people who provide the game and the forum." Do you have any idea just how arrogant and hypocritical that sounds? Dislikes for everybody, or for nobody.

...What? Tsukino is proposing we have a way to communicate to the Devs (with a simple glance rather than having to read 58 pages of utter logorrhea) that we dislike what they're saying. The reason we don't have 'dislikes' on the forum is so that nobody has their feelings hurt. It's similar to facebook. Dislikes don't exist because then people flame one another and dislike everything particular people write, even when they might provide something useful (just because they are who they are). It's too easy for people to troll other people, and in the end, if you don't like a post, just ignore it (whereas 'liking' is a positive feature and boosts happy feelings, and lets people know when a post is appreciated. Usually the more likes a post has, the better an idea it is).

It's NOT hypocrisy. It's saying, "we understand why the dislike function doesn't exist, but can we please return it to Dev and Forum Mod posts so we can effectively communicate our displeasure with their news bringing".

I don't understand all this rage that you have. "Childish expression of spite"? Not at all.

42. It totally explains the 25 different arguments why your post is not very usefull.

Knowing why people oppose a certain change is important as well. It allows Camate & friends to reply to specific issues that have been raised. Sometimes a dislike is based on insufficient information.
Take RDM SP2 for example. It's utterly crap in the current game, because enfeebling is either useless or hits immunity. But they are changing immunities across the board in a future update. This might make the SP2 a valuable addition to the RDM arsenal. Might. If the devs know we are worried about this, they can give a targetted response, instead of wondering what x dislikes mean.

Yes, we are all aware of this, but we are also aware of the fact that a very large portion of these opposisions go unanswered regardless of the validity of their content. Adding a dislike button to dev posts wont negate the fact that people are posting anything. It'll add to what the devs are not seeing/reading/ignoring.
Also consider that a lot of these dev posts are in threads that cannot be replied to. Being able to see these values on an original post and not an offshoot thread would be helpful to everyone.

What if they made it like other forums where if fame is lowered enough, you cannot post. So all the retarded ideas the dev's like to throw out there, we can just rate down them and the community reps to oblivion.

If they wanna ignore us, we can ignore them too!

Now, excuse me while I return to reality....

Making any type of negative comments towards any member of SE is calls for ban/deletion of postings. Also they reserve the rights to ban/delete whatever they deem to. You agreed to this when you signed up for the forum.
