ADD Dislike button

[Hen-Hen]

I'd kinda like a dislike button because the forums are full of threads of multiple pages of people going "NOOOOOOO!" at the OP, whereas threads about things which people want are buried because they get liked instead of commented on. And so, we all look like a bunch of whiny babies, instead of being able to just dislike and move on, and stuff that we can agree that we want just fades out, where devs will never see it.

This is a very good point. We see more negativity because we can't express disagreement any other way, and it just bumps negative threads back to the top. There needs to be a balance between positive and negative feedback, and we can't have likes for agreement and comments for disagreement because likes don't bump threads, and most of the time I don't want to bump a negative thread anyway.

Negative options on forums have countless times proven to only have negative effects.

Negativity exists anyway on this forum. A dislike button means that the negativity isn't spoken, and doesn't bump the thread back to the top.
