I dislike "dislike." There doesn't seem to be much constructive reason for it. Looking back at my own use of that rating I've used it primarily in response to an attack or insult against myself or others. Many of the ones I've received are bewildering, only a handful of them somewhat understandable. Ian, perhaps you should post a sticky guide to ratings use so they're not used cavalierly or with nasty intent.
"Dislike" wold be fine, if people didn't abuse it. Someone posting a neutral fact (i.e. "Player 'x' just got cut" in a transactions thread) should never get a "dislike" for it, for example.
I generally only use the "dislike" button if I'm responding to someone else who's demonstrated that they are using it. Normally, I'd rather just respond with a post noting my disagreement, as it usually sparks more conversation.
