Petition for new Forum Button: Dislike

[Kalilla]

Nonsense. Numerous substantive forums use up-and-down-rating, and they are productive aggregators of good information way more often than they're invitations to abuse. Zam and AH are two major examples that apply to FFXI specifically, and even WoW's playerbase, so often merrily described by FFXI players as a cesspool, makes totally productive use of one in the comment threads on wowhead.

Nope, AH got removed because people were abusing the system as well.

It will never work on any forum the way it was intended, people will always abuse, harass, and grief other members.

A dislike option for regular members is never a good idea in any situation.

I got an official warning for posting that I "unliked" a post. Several people liked my post too. Surprising to see SE so complacent with this open hostility.

[Krashport]

This topic sounds like someone crying that the forums are to tough.. and "NEED" a dislike button.



I Dislike this Idea. "See what I did there, It's easy"
There are better topics and Ideas on these Forums then this, Moving on!

I got temp banned for saying "I think your trying to make fun of me, but it's just coming off as silly."


If you look in the new ws thread right now, people are shouting obscenities, and posting unflattering pics of the director. There is no rhyme or reason to the moderation.

INB4: another 3 hour ban.

in one more page of posts, your dislike will be buried where the translators will never see it. Too bad you can't just dislike this thread right in the OP.

You just made my point, You seen the Dislike to comment on, so therefore you don't need this dislike Button.

Frank, some day people may fear to utter your name as well.

Rate-downs are still available on individual item entries, and they are quite useful for parsing information.

Anyway, if you're that concerned about it, a 10-a-month limit on dislikes is still better than not having them at all.

You seem to have missed my point. If there was a dislike button, you could hit it and be done. Since there is not, you are posting your thoughts about it on page 4. The forum translators are going to skim over this, and likely not read your post. If I stop talking to you, your opinion on the matter will probably go completely unnoticed because most people usually read the first couple of posts in a thread, and then skip to the end. Also, I am not the one you need to see your post. Me knowing what you like or dislike has no effect on what gets added to the website and / or game.

To many would use and abuse it, Also that would be lazy. Just think we wouldn't be having this conversation now.

Where is your proof?

I would differ, You wouldn't be talking to me now if it didn't have an effect on you.

no point of even having the Like button either tbh.
