As long as a few weeks?Gamma-UT wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 8:55 amWhat often happens is a site gets both buttons. Then, a few weeks later, there is only one...el-bo (formerly ebow) wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 8:20 am Personally, I'm with the folk who think that the dislike button should be dropped.
A 'like' is equivalent to a '+1', albeit easier, and less space hogging. But if you dislike something, it either warrants just ignoring, or would be better served by an explanation, rather than just expressing dislike. Removing the dislike option gets rid of the bullying/trolling aspect.
Can we get a like button here?

All it tells is that some anonymous person clicked the button for reasons unknown. You get forum 'mates' liking each other's posts irrespective of the content, and you get people with grudges and people with multiple accounts (of which there are some on here) disliking posts just because of who posted them, or to try and make the posters think their opinion is more unpopular than it really is.
I've seen two forums implement this function and then relent by removing the dislike button, because each time it was very unpopular and people took advantage of the anonymity to abuse it.
Gearslutz got it right: only have a like button, and show the names of people who clicked it.

Just wondering:
-- How much of a post do I need to agree/disagree with, in order to like / dislike it?
-- If I like or dislike a post can I change my mind later?
-- And, if the poster edits a post are the count reset to 0?

One thing I just noticed: using this button to dislike somebody's music just isn't cricket and is extremely bad form IMO.
Constructive criticism is a very different thing entirely and recommended.

Yay. Now we have two extra controls crammed into the UI and NO buttons at all (no bevels or boxes on the symbols to make them clear targets).

its not so bad on posts maybe "oh nine people dislike my creme brulee recipe oh well"
but on our music, or devs releasing synths/fx it can for some be soul destroying, but even for those who dont care so much, its not helpful if i dont know why you dislike it?
i imagine if i look at a certain thread, there will be the beginnings of the worst of it...

True, but I also think most of us are able to brush off a few dislikes.

Maybe the feature can be turned off on the threads of the padawans.
