Would you like to see a "unlike" button added to the forum?

Personally I like the idea. Can't "like" everything and certainly won't "hurt" anymore than some of the colorful dialog. I know where @KKG stands, what do'll say you?

"Likes"...."Unlikes"....what does it really matter? Do I win the internet if I have the most of either? I'd be perfectly fine if they went away completely.

You might win the internet but that above my pay grade.

And I'd agree with that as well, poll fixed. My thoughts are if there is a like button, why not have an "unlike' button, too.

Speaking only for myself...I voted "No".

Reason being:

It could ( would ) lead to more talking and griping about the "dislike" , than the actual thread topic...

Threads can already go sideways enough with "birdwalks" , one ups , yeabuts , and your choice sucks , and mine rocks...etc...
No need for more fuel here...

I like the "Like" because it is an easy way to say thanks to someone or note you appreciated what they wrote. An unlike? Eh, maybe, I guess, but seems to fall into the "If you've got nothing nice to say ..." type thing.

No, because if you disagree or dislike something you are forced to use your words and open a dialouge. I believe in a productive transparent disagreement where everyone can see both sides.
A dislike button just makes it too easy and open ended for lazy people with nothing worthwhile to add to the forum.

I am reminded of Monty Python's Argument Clinic Skit here...worth looking up if you haven't seen it...

Like.......I really like likes. Like they are really likable.
I use them to show someone I appreciated their post
without having to write a 47 paragraph dissertation in response.
After the first page of any thread things get redundant quickly.

Not sure about an 'unlike' button.
I mean, look at me. How can you not love this face..............

Voted no for the same reason Andy gave. I did like the way they added the button to the quick option. So many times someone put up some article that was very sad, and I was glad they put it out but, seemed strange to click "Like" on it. I was glad to see the info but not liking what happened kind of thing if that makes sense?

 

[Greenbug]

Why not just post on the thread "I don't like what you said here", or something to that effect.

 

[Flymph]

To unlike something you just click on it again, but there is no "dislike" feature!
I think the new reactions just about cover this need. I'd like to see a few added or the options be customized.

Dont confuse me. Keep it simple

I say no...we are supposed to be excellent to one another here.

I would like to see an atomic powered ignore list button. You know, for those people.

No it didn't.
