Dislike Button

[sagittarius98]

I feel like we should have a dislike button here. There are some posts that are just plain stupid or give bad advice and it would really be bad to not have a dislike button, The dislikes could count as negative. So if you have 289 likes, and 1 dislike, your likes total would be 288. If you had 5 likes, and 6 dislikes, your likes total would be -1.


Anyone with me? You can select more than one choice.

I don't even like the "like" button

No

If you don't like, don't Click on Like

Why should members have the ability to attack others ?

Which would be the only reason for an dislike option

IMO if there was a Dislike Option, Moderators should have the option to Ban anyone who dislikes our Members posts.
why would they want to be here anyway if they dislike our Posts
which attacking members is against the rules already

I just feel like some posts are not offensive, but just give bad advice. For example, if someone says that covering holes is not necessary while detecting, a new person to detecting may take that advice and leave their holes open. That post doesn't meet the criteria for deletion I think, but is detrimental to metal detecting in that area. I feel like that is not an attack on a person. If someone repeatedly dislikes post to offend others, that can be another criteria for banning.

if someone says that covering holes is not necessary while detecting, A response
stating your opinion without calling names or making threats would at least get the point across better.

a simple dislike, could mean several things & not get the main point out there.

I am also against the dislike icon, I don't care for the thread ratings either.....

I understand everyone's reasoning. I won't introduce this again, but keep the poll open just to see how people think.

Poll can stay open, it does not violate any rules I know of....
