Hi Ian,

Not sure if this was requested or considered before: similar to the 'like' button in every post, is it possible to have a 'Don't Like' or 'Dislike' option?

Thanks!

Boards that have such an option often get nasty and petty. I hope that doesn't get implemented.

just make the dislikes blind. just a count. then no hard feelings.

we get enough posts trying to volunteer threads to the practice squad; what is the difference.

We used to have something like thumbs up and thumbs down. The board survived. The only nasty issue here was Ian's way too slow response in kicking NEM off the board.

Hmm...Maybe I am missing your point. How would a mere vote get the board nasty when people already have the option to write anything in response?

We are talking about a quick option button for people who don't want to take the time to write out a response to a particular post that they don't like or is plain foolish. If we have the option to quickly cast a vote for 'like', why not something that also conveys our 'dislike'?

I understand we can rate the entire thread as 'terrible' but I am talking about individual posts. I don't have to 'ignore' a poster just because he/she makes some invalid points but I can let them know by a single click that I didn't like a particular post.

It is Ian's call and this was just a suggestion.

PS: I am sure you would have liked to have a 'dislike' button for this post.

Edit: After reading the above two responses, I see where you come from. But then, both responses had excellent suggestions: either keep the ID of the voter blind or just have thumbs up/down.

I gave it one star. Which is already a way of voicing dislike for the topic.

There's enough negativity here without that. Bad idea.

If you dislike what someone says then reply to their post and explain to them why you disagree with what they're saying.

I say attach a link that includes the address to the person who posted and if you think his comment is stupid you can then drive to his house and kick his ass.
