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.
Haha a BS button would be hilarious!! |

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.

Location: Southeast Louisiana | 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. |

Location: Do I hear Banjos? | 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"! |

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. |

Location: Online | 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?
