MPH Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 What are our chances of having a dislike button? If someone posted about a bombing/ shooting , i'd like the option of disliking it. Some Inherent Britain first crap, i'd like the option of disliking it What are our chances of getting a Dislike button? And before some of you smart arses say anything... yes, i know you'd like the option of disliking this post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripeyfox Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 A negative rep button would be good. Those who end up -100 or something get banned. For life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpe's Fox Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 Although I do get peeved at our sanctimonious Algerian FTers it seems to be a passive aggressive way to just serially spam those you disagree with with a handy button. Just call them a **** in your head and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 I reckon it sounds good in theory but not in practice, would just lead to wars between posters that don't agree / get on. I think a better way to disagree with somebody is to express your point of view articulately rather than just using a dislike button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a better way to disagree with somebody is to express your point of view articulately rather than just using a dislike button The flip side of that coin of course is that instead of getting into a petty argument and some people seemingly getting their knickers ina twist over something trivial, people can just dislike the comment and move on with their life.

Surely it would do the opposite? without being able to just simply dislike something, it opens the doorway to trolling. With a dislike button, trolls can be told to just dislike something if they have no capacity to add a constructive comment and move on. Personally i think it would cut out a lot of the meaningless trolling you are talking about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll's obviously say provocative things, and the more provocative it is the more likely you are to get a verbal response. A dislike button won't stop people being from voicing(typing, really) their disagreeing with things they strongly disagree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that it could be an extra tool that the mods could use - dont like it? nothing constructive to add to the discussion? press the dislike and move on. or next time its a ban!

Stadt Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 People end up disliking things they just disagree with even though it's perfectly valid post, the political threads will just become even more partisan than they already are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 I've noticed forums for other teams have a thumbs down/dislike button. I quite like the idea myself but not really sure what the overall benefit would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle to understand how anyone can get remotely upset about someone just putting a thumbs down next to a post. We're mostly all adults here, aren't we? so someone might not like what I said... why would that be troublesome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say it stifles debate, i say it can be another tool used against trolls.. instead of trolling, known trolls can be told to use the dislike button instead.
