Don't hate, educate!

Honestly it's a mixed bag currently. According to this thread. The members who I assume support the dislike feature are:

MikeChipshop
Xilo
E.worm Jimmy (I'll have to have a word with him later :p)
warwagon
HoochieMamma
The Evil Overlord
Steven P.
Sean B.
Draconian Guppy
Raze
Buttus
virtorio

 

And those I assume are in support of changing it are:
PsYcHoKiLLa
MikeChipshop
JR1966
LimeMaster (Me)
Brandon H
Andrew
techbeck
Circaflex

yep, thumbs down is even set to a +0 so it doesn't even affect your reputation score

What I find more amusing, is that the email you get when someone thumbs down a post says "XXX liked a post in a topic". Then I get all excited, I go there only to find it's a thumb down ..i'm like "Aww man!"

Or just have a mod add a poll to this thread.

It's a bit late for that now. Judging from the results, most are happy to keep the dislike reaction as it currently is.

The feature is fine, leave it alone. There is nothing wrong with the thumbs down reaction. It's a problem with this new touchy-feely society. People need to grow a set of balls.

Heck, I found it amusing when a guy went back into a thread and disliked every post of mine and a couple others.

God I hope not, I can think of 3 trolls right off the top of my head, who seem to think neowin is their personal facebook page

Everything is +1 but the dislike (+/- 0).

That works.

I suppose I should lock my own thread. Everyone is making the train go off the rails.

Re-opening this to allow more feedback. However, please keep it on topic and do not use it as an opportunity to attack or call out members.

For me it's not the thumbs down that bothers me but when a specific user goes through an entire thread and down votes every post you make without leaving any sort of response to any of it that bothers me.

 

I've even had posts where someone made a good point and I'd reply with something as innocuous as "fair enough" or something similar and even that gets thumbed down without a response. At that point they're not doing it because they disagree they're doing it because they have some sort of weird vendetta and it feels extremely childish.

 

I feel like if you're going to go through an entire thread an down vote every post a person makes a reason should be required otherwise why are you there? If you're not adding anything to a conversation then it amounts to being a low caliber troll at that point.
