the other person can retaliate with a neg, which limits the amount of neg you would give out somewhat.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

I think dislike buttons are just fuel for drama.

Do we need more drama and less discussion? If so, add the drama button. If we need less drama, get rid of the rep system.

I "like" a post that's good and I agree with. I "rep" a post that exceeds that. The "dislike" button would be one that I would use if I disagreed with the post. Trade threads would be excellent for the Dislike Button because I hate them all. If someone is such a ***** that they would get their feelings hurt because someone dislikes their post, maybe they should stop posting. Speaking of stopping posting, that sounds like a damn good idea and I'm done with this.

Do people really care about likes and dislikes? If this is instituted and every one of my posts is disliked (I like to use realistic examples, fwiw), does that affect me in some way I'm not aware of?
Just wondering why it matters if it gets "abused".

Our coding actually has 3 different options:

Likes
Dislikes
Thanks


You can see them in personal screens.

And better! When you click the "who liked this post" link, it lists the ones that "Disliked" it. lol

All Jase has to do is click the button.

It can be discouraging to new posters or posters that is being trolled and make them not want to post or leave Jazzfan which I think is counter to what an inclusive environment is.

It also discourages people from making an unpopular argument with fear of public shaming.

When thinking about making changes I always try to imagine how it would affect new members...


I could see a scenario where a new member makes a post that is considered 'uncool' or 'unpopular' and get trolled + the public shaming of being 'disliked' by 5-6 posters. I imagine that could make that person not want to post anymore, and I don't think that's what we want to happen right?


A successful community to me is a community where the young & vulnerable (i.e., in our case new posters) feel welcome and included and not alienated and I don't think this dislike button would provide that.


Just my 2 cents.
