Dislike button

[Rick]

This just kind of hit me while I was suffering through a thread but if we cant have the negative rep button could we get the Dislike button? And no, you cant use it on this one either. :wink:

Dislike.

I always liked the idea of a 1-5 stars rating for posters, like scout does. You would vote on each post if you want and the average of all their ratings would be visible.

CF formerly had a star-rating system for threads, but people abused it - they would go through and just label all threads by people they didn't like as a 1-star (much like the drive-by negative repping that killed that feature). Due to that, it was discontinued at that time.

I rate this post 1 star.

It's not like those people earned that reputation for making poor posts/threads or anything...

Why do you think I said it! You may be a MOD but I no longer fear the neg rep from you!!

PS why do you get to dish out extra positive rep?! I want that power!! Tis the season to be giving and I want to give!

Most of the time, that's absolutely correct. There were a lot of reports/complaints to the mod team about people ganging up to neg rep them due to some Sharks vs. Jets board thing, or because the content of the rep was questionable, or whatever. It became a huge moderation nightmare.

Negative rep was the worst. If someone disagreed with you, they'd negative rep you. Horrible concept and it was a wise move to get rid of it. We could get rid of positive rep too for all I care.

I dont see anything wrong with the way it is now.

It could be alot worse.
Be happy with ya got.

People who spend any amount of time around here know who those people are anyways....regardless of their lack of negative rep

See this thread for a perfect example.....

The one good thing about positive rep is that it allows you to tell someone you agree with them or give them a pat on the back, without filling up threads with useless posts such as "+1" or "agree"
