ADD Dislike button

Vote systems are forum cancer to begin with. If you add a dislike button, it just results in the formation of a quasi-hive mind comprised of temperamental and easily upset players imposing its will.

Use a pillow instead. Expressing oneself in a passive aggressive sense isn't healthy, helpful, nor desired. Or take the time and show why you disagree in an educated and calm manner.

Pretty much this. If an idea or question gets downvotes with no explanation as to why, then the poster is only left with confusion as to what exactly they didn't like. Constructive criticism is a good thing.

Honestly, rather than reply or dislike, I just ignore. No attention is better than any if you don't support something.

Dont add a dislike button. Dont allow people to remove things they happen to disagree with. Should my opinion be censored just because it doesnt fall within your limits?

The like button is bad as is. Yes its good for showing support for a post, but it doesnt help the thread stay on the front page.

Without differing opinions there can be no discussion. And without discussion theres no need for forums.

The true dislike in these forums is the reply button.

This. And to add to the point...

The issue people have is they are either too shy or lack actual conviction behind their belief or opinion to put their name on something that conflicts with what they feel they don't 'like'. They'd rather hit a button that allows them to stay anonymous, have no counter discussion, and thus do not have to take responsibility for their stance.

Like I said before, use a pillow. Or put your mind and speech, as well as your name about why you don't like or agree with something.

To quote one of my college instructors: "Clear speech and clear writing is an indication of a clear mind."

FYI, this has been brought up before. It isn't happening.

The dislike button would be the most used cause people are more likely to show their disapproval for something then they are of their approval.

Denizens of a certain elitist forum are the biggest reasons why this should not ever happen. They turned Allakhazam's forum into a clusterf*ck and wouldn't have any reservations about taking this forum into the sewer.
