Thumbs Down Feature.

[Pauly Wauly]

Can we get a thumbs down feature/button/icon like some other popular websites/forums have?

You have a thumbs up feature/button/icon, so why not a thumbs down feature?

[No one]

Because it's bullshit, that's why. Another popular website (YouTube) has the button but stopped displaying it's counter recently. Does it do the math with "up" now or what? No bullying, to put it simply.

I just personally witnessed an abuse of the thumbs-down feature on another forum that I read, where each click deducts a point from the user's reputation.

Two adults got into a childish argument, and one of them thumbs-downed every single post ever made by the other one. The psychopath spent DAYS doing it, apparently by hand on each individual message. The victim had ZERO reputation points when the attack ended.

TL;dr - it isn't worth the headaches.....

I hear you, and I agree, but I also see a lot of useless posts on the forum that have nothing to do with the thread(s) topic being posted on here by forum members or bots that it would be easier to just give them a thumbs down than to report them as spam or as someone breaking the forum rules.
