lightly Posted August 1, 2012 #51 Share Posted August 1, 2012 i dislike the idea of a dislike button. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OverSword Posted August 3, 2012 Author #52 Share Posted August 3, 2012 No don't put the dislike button, it will cause people do distrust each other it would stop people posting. The new Tricky Dicky, It's obvious from other forums I've been on that having a thumbs up and thumbs down button does not stifle people from posting thier unwanted, unreasonable, and unsane opinions in the least little bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but the thing is, UM is not yahourt, people can communicate with each others outside a thread. Furthermore it's so much civilized to show a dislike by ways of words and other various analyses, or posting a link disproving the comment we don't like. UM is more like a big family, you don't choose its members but you can talk to them. Edited August 4, 2012 by Paracelse 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daughter of the Nine Moons Posted August 4, 2012 #55 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I personally would like to see a "Vaguely Indifferent" button or an "I'm going to give a little electrical shock thru the net so you can smarten up" button. I'm pretty sure that I would get some use out of those. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that I would get some use out of those. Some of the websites I visit, for personal research purposes, have an "Oh, yes!" button, but you need a special mouse to feel the vibration. Sadly, I possess no such mouse. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I possess no such mouse. See? If I disliked that (pervy) comment, would it really have required an explanation? Would I have to say"Hey Eldorado, that comment makes me feel like and old person felt me up and now I need to sit in a hot hot shower and cry" No of course not. The dislike button solves all of that painful typing and explaining to people who are really just trying to make you throw up in your mouth a little bit anyways!

pallidin Posted August 8, 2012 #66 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I got it. First, create a new account with the screen name "No-one" or "Dis" Now, when you hit the like this button, it will read: No-one likes this Dis likes this :clap: Other creative variations are possible I suppose 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dislike button solves all of that painful typing and explaining to people who are really just trying to make you throw up in your mouth a little bit anyways! You're right of course. Apologies for my "pervy" comment. It was an attempt at humour. Sorry it made you cry. I respect your right to hate. Haters gotta hate, after all. Bring on a "Hate" button! (If you have a "Like" button there is no need for a "Dislike" button. A post will simply have no "Likes" if it's disliked or is just a "Meh" comment. Simples. If however, you dislike a post very, very much or a post has upset you enough to have you sitting in tears, you should respond with words. After you've dried your eyes, of course. IMO.) Kleenex are good for that. Wiping away tears. So many uses has a Kleenex tissue, when you think of it.... *Blah, blah, blah, blah.. rambles on for hours* Edited August 8, 2012 by Eldorado 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OverSword Posted August 8, 2012 Author #68 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Apparently not everyone gets that the request to add this button was meant to be farciful. Saru: Please totaly ignore this thread unless you want a laugh! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Englishgent Posted August 13, 2012 #71 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I think it is much better for people to say why they did not like a post (as long as it is done in a polite manner) than to just have a dislike button with no explanation or reason given as to why the post was disliked 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackofalltrades Posted September 4, 2012 #74 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Apart from giving the Mods extra work to do, dislike button would not make any difference to the forum's in a positive way It would however be a tool that some people would alienate other people, by using the dislike button I do not even see the reason why there is a like button TBH, although it come's in handy sometimes when I agree with/like a post When I post anything it is not to be more popular or anything it is simply to state what I believe and to speak my mind on the matter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
