Suggestion, Ratings.

[Poppy Chulo]

Hello, I think it would be appropriate to have a thumbs down rating.

This is because you can only get positive feedback, a dislike rating would show who is trustworthy & nice or not.

People could abuse this & if that is an issue the staff could make a compromise but this is just my opinion.

It would just be abused as the funny ratings were before they no longer counted to you. People will just give them at random to people they don't like. It would never work.

^that's the reason there are no negative ratings. even positive ratings were used sarcastically.

Funny was a different story. It was abused because there is no real POST RATING to disagree.

You can't really abuse post ratings if they have appropriate descriptions. Funny was abused because apparently disagree is hateful and was removed as a rating, so you need to use something. The only negative ones were optimistic, and most kids don't know what that means, so they used funny (as in sarcastically funny).

A post rating is simply a user's opinion on a post. Disagree can be a neutral point rating if you wish, but it is definitely a well needed rating. So no, that'd actually stop post rating abuse, not increase it.

Apply logic to the wound, thebaum64

False, people will always abuse them in someway, as funny ratings were. Just because a dislike is there and would be "appropriate" does not mean it can not be abused. If we were to add a dislike, it would most likely have its own rating section which is how it is on other forums with this. People will still spam them and abuse them just like any other rating, so there is no real point. It is just pointless
