Thumbs down option in forums

[BlackRoach]

Id like to see a thumbs down option in forum along side that thumbs up. Its like looking at the clear water before jumping off a bridge but not gazing a little deeper to see the rocks just below.

There's been several threads about this... Most of them get a few responses, like this one, where we express that we do not want a thumbs down option.

If you like something, Like it.

If you don't... don't.

If you REALLY don't, make a post saying why. If people agree with you... they will like your post.

This has been mentioned several times. The community wouldn't use it fairly and it would be abused. A perfect example is how the thread tagging is already abused.

Thumbs up is being abused just as bad as a thumbs down would be except that youd have both sides of the coin instead of just the one. The simile is universal


Thats my last post on the subject, let it ride.

That's a paper argument. Potential abuse from the thumbs up option is significantly less negative than potential abuse from a thumbs down option.
