Now people will have to post if they don't like something if they have the guts to do it rather then to hide behind a button..

I think it should say AGREE or DISAGREE than maybe people would not be so thin skinned and get offended. I think a lot of people think when you get a dislike that it is about them when it really is about what they said. But I really would like a BS button LOL.

I think it's funny how many people dislike the dislike button.

On the other hand, now is the time to post your unpopular opinions, insulting stories,bad riding habits and anything else people would want to dislike.

I don't know if you noticed, but the dislike button was being used in ways that were just plain petty. Disliking every post about a stud you happen to not like, disliking every post from a member you're holding a grudge against, disliking for the sake of disliking.

I think there is something seriously wrong with laughing and telling people to shut up and deal instead of addressing the problem. That problem was promoting the use of something that was mostly negative. Don't we usually like to cut negativity out of our lives? I personally will not stand behind something like that. Thankfully the problem has been delt with. Thank you Dave, Gail, Mods, and Techies.

I'm glad it's gone. Good friggin' riddance.

The like/dislike buttons didn't bother me.  There is another forum that allows anonymous snidely, snarky "rep" comments that I think is childish, bullying and adds nothing constructive to the forum.

It was my fault.  The "plug-in" came as a package.  It contained both like and dislike.  

As I was taught, if you don't have something good to say, don't say anything at all.

Guess we had to "help" people with that no so common sense.

My apologies once again.

I disagree with most on here who think the dislike button served no purpose. As someone else pointed out, you are likely to get disliked if you are outspoken. I have gotten votes of dislike when I posted my opinion. It served as better feedback than some of the redundant posts where insults are hurled back and forth because someone took something out of context. When a bunch of people disagree with me, I think it's time to look inward and reconsider my opinion. This forum is great for that, it's informative to hear others' opinions and points of view. When one person hits the dislike button... meh. As far as the concerns addressed on the OKC post, we all have the private message option.

If you're going to post on a public forum, you should be thick skinned enough to ignore a dislike especially when it is obviously absurd relative to the topic being discussed.

I'm just glad we get to keep the Like button.  Sometimes  (ok most of the time) I don't really have anything to say that would enhance the conversation.  Being able to just give the thumbs up is pretty great and spares folks from a bunch of one word posts saying  "Amen"!

If you're going to post on a public forum, you should be thick skinned enough to ignore a dislike especially when it is obviously absurd relative to the topic being discussed.

How does a "dislike" button make a forum more informative?  Without a dislke button, if you don't agree with a post or simply dislike it, the only way to express that, if you are so inclined, is to state your case.  Now that can be informative.  Simply noting that something is disliked doesn't inform anyone very much.  It's the back-and-forth of a lot of discussions that provides a lot of information and stimulates thought.
I think the dislike button evolved into a big prank here on BHW. 
Why doesn't facebook have a "dislike" button?  My guess is that it's simply bad for business, for whatever reason.
You can still have your own "dislike" button.  It's very simple.....copy the post and type: "dislike", if that's what you want to do.  Problem solved....everyone is happy.

I agree with you.
 

I never had a problem with disliking how sombody training advice. More than ome way to skin a cat, thats understandable.

My issue was with the (bad word I cant say) people whom would dislike people being kind and genours, posts giving support to cancer fighters, a preagincy anouncments and ever single congratulation. Them people are cowards, id a million times over have it out in the open than a bunch of little rats runing around.

END RANT lol.

I don't really care if there is one or not. I'm just afraid a certain person/people are going to be offended because there isn't one. It might cause their head to explode. They know who they are, the ones who hit dislike just because a certain person posted something no matter how innocent the comment - like that certain person posting clappy hands or smiley face......  Most of us know who that certain person is....  Make sense?

Nita - 2014-09-18 12:04 AM I disagree with most on here who think the dislike button served no purpose. As someone else pointed out, you are likely to get disliked if you are outspoken. I have gotten votes of dislike when I posted my opinion. It served as better feedback than some of the redundant posts where insults are hurled back and forth because someone took something out of context. When a bunch of people disagree with me, I think it's time to look inward and reconsider my opinion. This forum is great for that, it's informative to hear others' opinions and points of view. When one person hits the dislike button... meh. As far as the concerns addressed on the OKC post, we all have the private message option. If you're going to post on a public forum, you should be thick skinned enough to ignore a dislike especially when it is obviously absurd relative to the topic being discussed.

How does a "dislike" button make a forum more informative?  Without a dislke button, if you don't agree with a post or simply dislike it, the only way to express that, if you are so inclined, is to state your case.  Now that can be informative.  Simply noting that something is disliked doesn't inform anyone very much.  It's the back-and-forth of a lot of discussions that provides a lot of information and stimulates thought.
I think the dislike button evolved into a big prank here on BHW. 
Why doesn't facebook have a "dislike" button?  My guess is that it's simply bad for business, for whatever reason.
You can still have your own "dislike" button.  It's very simple.....copy the post and type: "dislike", if that's what you want to do.  Problem solved....everyone is happy.
 
I agree with what I highlight in green....so in other words, u have to shoot rainbows up someones azz and like it  or post your true feelings,.... all this over getting a dislike buttom removed how many wussys are gonna get mad when they hear what I actually have to say rather then me just simply disliking something LOL...  git ready git ready git ready... lol the party is just about to start

Exactly.  I'd much rather hear why someone dislikes a certain post.  Stating one's case is much more informative/instructive than simply hitting "dislike", but if that's what someone wants to do, they can still do it.  Nobody learns much from looking at a tally of likes versus dislikes, particularly if it isn't a scientific poll, and one prone to anonymous pranks.  Even hitting "dislike" from an identifiable poster can be instructive, especially if it is coming from someone whose opinion on a given subject is widely respected.

So why not take the like button off too so we can hear why they like it ...and ps... u take life way to serious to have to have it scientifically proven before a poll means something lol... especially when it comes from a open forum... lol

You're right.  I don't actually take it serious for that reason.  On the other hand, I don't learn much from it either.  I'd much rather know why someone dislikes something, plus I would prefer to know where the opinion is coming from.  I've changed my mind on a lot of things because someone made a good point.  I can't say the same for anonymous "dislikes".  Someone can hit dislike because they don't like the poster....it might not have anything to do with what they are saying.  The most important thing to me about BHW over the years is what I've learned from others.  Seeing "dislike" doesn't teach me a damm thing.  As far as the "like" option, I don't really care one way or the other.  Bottom line is this: fundamentally nothing has changed a bit, except now when someone says they "dislike" what you are saying, you can consider the source.  You are still free to dislike anything and everything.  The only difference is now you own your opinion.   I think the dislike button actually tended to decrease participation here - just a hunch.  
In any case, Dave and Gail seem to agree that it wasn't a real good feature.

So why not take the like button off too so we can hear why they like it ...and ps... u take life way to serious to have to have it scientifically proven before a poll means something lol... especially when it comes from a open forum... lol
You're right.  I don't actually take it serious for that reason.  On the other hand, I don't learn much from it either.  I'd much rather know why someone dislikes something, plus I would prefer to know where the opinion is coming from.  I've changed my mind on a lot of things because someone made a good point.  I can't say the same for anonymous "dislikes".  Someone can hit dislike because they don't like the poster....it might not have anything to do with what they are saying.  The most important thing to me about BHW over the years is what I've learned from others.  Seeing "dislike" doesn't teach me a damm thing.  As far as the "like" option, I don't really care one way or the other.  Bottom line is this: fundamentally nothing has changed a bit, except now when someone says they "dislike" what you are saying, you can consider the source.  You are still free to dislike anything and everything.  The only difference is now you own your opinion.   I think the dislike button actually tended to decrease participation here - just a hunch.  

In any case, Dave and Gail seem to agree that it wasn't a real good feature.  

 Im sure they got tired of the whining ...  and of course I am and always was free to dislike anything I want...   I wish I cared who disliked my stuff... truth is.. I don't.. don't care why they didn't like it, if it was aimed at me personally or whatever the reason... I could care less, just as much as I don't care if you like what I say and seeing like doesn't teach me a dam thing either...  and I recall several times I have told someone my thoughts and since I wasn't shooting rainbows up their azz they got bent out of shape...
Be careful what you wish for people the "participation" may increase but you probably aint gonna like why...

Nita - 2014-09-18 12:04 AM I disagree with most on here who think the dislike button served no purpose. As someone else pointed out, you are likely to get disliked if you are outspoken. I have gotten votes of dislike when I posted my opinion. It served as better feedback than some of the redundant posts where insults are hurled back and forth because someone took something out of context. When a bunch of people disagree with me, I think it's time to look inward and reconsider my opinion. This forum is great for that, it's informative to hear others' opinions and points of view. When one person hits the dislike button... meh. As far as the concerns addressed on the OKC post, we all have the private message option. If you're going to post on a public forum, you should be thick skinned enough to ignore a dislike especially when it is obviously absurd relative to the topic being discussed.


How does a "dislike" button make a forum more informative?  Without a dislke button, if you don't agree with a post or simply dislike it, the only way to express that, if you are so inclined, is to state your case.  Now that can be informative.  Simply noting that something is disliked doesn't inform anyone very much.  It's the back-and-forth of a lot of discussions that provides a lot of information and stimulates thought.

I think the dislike button evolved into a big prank here on BHW. 

Why doesn't facebook have a "dislike" button?  My guess is that it's simply bad for business, for whatever reason.

You can still have your own "dislike" button.  It's very simple.....copy the post and type: "dislike", if that's what you want to do.  Problem solved....everyone is happy.

How does a "dislike" button make a forum more informative?  Without a dislke button, if you don't agree with a post or simply dislike it, the only way to express that, if you are so inclined, is to state your case.  Now that can be informative.  Simply noting that something is disliked doesn't inform anyone very much.  It's the back-and-forth of a lot of discussions that provides a lot of information and stimulates thought.

I think the dislike button evolved into a big prank here on BHW. 

Why doesn't facebook have a "dislike" button?  My guess is that it's simply bad for business, for whatever reason.

You can still have your own "dislike" button.  It's very simple.....copy the post and type: "dislike", if that's what you want to do.  Problem solved....everyone is happy.
 

I agree with what I highlight in green....so in other words, u have to shoot rainbows up someones azz and like it  or post your true feelings,.... all this over getting a dislike buttom removed how many wussys are gonna get mad when they hear what I actually have to say rather then me just simply disliking something LOL...  git ready git ready git ready... lol the party is just about to start
Exactly.  I'd much rather hear why someone dislikes a certain post.  Stating one's case is much more informative/instructive than simply hitting "dislike", but if that's what someone wants to do, they can still do it.  Nobody learns much from looking at a tally of likes versus dislikes, particularly if it isn't a scientific poll, and one prone to anonymous pranks.  Even hitting "dislike" from an identifiable poster can be instructive, especially if it is coming from someone whose opinion on a given subject is widely respected.  
So why not take the like button off too so we can hear why they like it ...and ps... u take life way to serious to have to have it scientifically proven before a poll means something lol... especially when it comes from a open forum... lol
You're right.  I don't actually take it serious for that reason.  On the other hand, I don't learn much from it either.  I'd much rather know why someone dislikes something, plus I would prefer to know where the opinion is coming from.  I've changed my mind on a lot of things because someone made a good point.  I can't say the same for anonymous "dislikes".  Someone can hit dislike because they don't like the poster....it might not have anything to do with what they are saying.  The most important thing to me about BHW over the years is what I've learned from others.  Seeing "dislike" doesn't teach me a damm thing.  As far as the "like" option, I don't really care one way or the other.  Bottom line is this: fundamentally nothing has changed a bit, except now when someone says they "dislike" what you are saying, you can consider the source.  You are still free to dislike anything and everything.  The only difference is now you own your opinion.   I think the dislike button actually tended to decrease participation here - just a hunch.  

In any case, Dave and Gail seem to agree that it wasn't a real good feature.  
 Im sure they got tired of the whining ...  and of course I am and always was free to dislike anything I want...   I wish I cared who disliked my stuff... truth is.. I don't.. don't care why they didn't like it, if it was aimed at me personally or whatever the reason... I could care less, just as much as I don't care if you like what I say and seeing like doesn't teach me a dam thing either...  and I recall several times I have told someone my thoughts and since I wasn't shooting rainbows up their azz they got bent out of shape...

Be careful what you wish for people the "participation" may increase but you probably aint gonna like why...


 
I am with you....I could give a rat's a$$ if someone likes or dislikes me OR what I post because I don't believe in blowing sunshine and butterflies either. However, regarding the highlighted part....I doubt it.....cowards don't usually come forward.....because then they get their head handed to them on a platter........ 

 Ditto   A coward has got to beable to hide behind something so that they can be brave.

For some reason this quote came to mind in reading this thread.

Nita - 2014-09-18 12:04 AM I disagree with most on here who think the dislike button served no purpose. As someone else pointed out, you are likely to get disliked if you are outspoken. I have gotten votes of dislike when I posted my opinion. It served as better feedback than some of the redundant posts where insults are hurled back and forth because someone took something out of context. When a bunch of people disagree with me, I think it's time to look inward and reconsider my opinion. This forum is great for that, it's informative to hear others' opinions and points of view.

You can't assume everyone who presses the dislike button is a coward. I've pressed it when there were several other dislikes and what I had to say was already said by others, instead of posting the same thing over and over.... I just press the like button on the posts I agree with instead of just posting "agreed" a bunch of times and press dislike, along with several others, on the post I disagree with. I can see where someone would get their feelings hurt when someone presses it, but the op doesn't know why. I just think they need to get over it.

Cowardice takes many forms. "Like everything I have to say or I'm gonna cry" is one of them.

This has become a perfect analogy for life in America nowadays. A vocal minority can get their feelings hurt and cry about it so now everyone else has to change.

Because Facebook sucks.

At least on FaceBook, you have to OWN your opinions.....no "anonymously" targeting......... 

I'm sorry you felt targeted. I've never used it that way nor felt targeted when someone dislikes something I post.

I can understand how it would get annoying when someone follows you from topic to topic just to press dislike and never say why. I never did that.

I should have worded my reply better. I, too, would rather know why someone dislikes what I say. I just don't feel strongly enough about that to take away their option to simply dislike what I say. Someone usually posts why. I just assume the disliker is either posting the opposing opininon or agreeing with it. I don't assume they're a coward (or whatever else you want to call them) for not agreeing with me, publicly or privately. That's their right. Or, it was before they took away the dislike button.

rodeomom13 - 2014-09-18 9:09 AM I don't really care if there is one or not. I'm just afraid a certain person/people are going to be offended because there isn't one. It might cause their head to explode. They know who they are, the ones who hit dislike just because a certain person posted something no matter how innocent the comment - like that certain person posting clappy hands or smiley face......  Most of us know who that certain person is....  Make sense?  




I can actually "see" several "haters" sitting at their computers "foaming at the mouth" because they can no longer "anonymously" torment their TARGETS......

Don't waste your time worrying about people like that. It just gives them power over you.
