How about having "Dislike Feature" on BHW?

[barnaba1984]

Recently I have came across few posts which was liked and received positive replies, and at the same time few people making fun of the post and gave few hurting replies.

I thought to "dislike" or show "disappointment" gesture for such post, specially someone is seriously looking for help in terms of information or anything.

There are few funny comments, which should be taken in right spirit, I am only saying about comments which discourages the "OP" with their negative comments.

I felt there should be a feature to show that, One's comment is hurting or disappointing.

Absolutely agreed. Some more reaction icons would be awesome.

I vote for this feature. Should be third button in red.

I don't think its a good idea. It will be toxic for the community. I guess some people are going to take it personally, others will think twice about what they are posting, others don't want to get angry reactions and just stop posting completely.

Just look at Reddit. Go to a subreddit and write something against the general opinion and people are going to downvote the shit out of you, even tho you are right

Yes even this has to be considered. But think about people getting hurting replies when they are looking for help.

This looks perfect, as it got an option to show different emotions.

It's gone for good. Some people (including me) had enough rep to make any newbie go red in rep. I seldom used mine to rep negatively, but many were much more trigger happy.

Would be nice to have such a feature.

I agree. Reddit has always been like that; maybe BLW would be different as we're a different type of community, which I feels would use it for other reasons- their being a weapon and/or circlejerk.

You mean, people saw you downvote someone, so as a Jr.vip you could bury a newbie because other people followed what you were doing like sheeps and downvoting too?

Or it was somethign different?

[BbHhWwVM]

Thing is downvotes would result in less engagement

Every network owner prefer to avoid such feature and there is a good reason

It takes some % of community engagement, would you love to lose % of your site's traffic? Of course not


But I would love to see this feature available for at least a week or few (as a test)

 

[B17zr]

I don't vote for it, cause it will turn to fucking Reddit

Aww poor baby. Who hurt your feelings?

It was different. I don't remember too much, but probably only vips could neg rep while everyone could positive rep. My rep point was something like 42 i think. So if I neg repped someone, he would be -42 in a zap. Old members, please correct me if I am wrong. ;P

Also, rep system was different than like system (it was called something else than like.. forgot what it was).

Oh ya coz a downvote button is going to fix that /s

 

[Harry Jodha]

Yes, it should be done...

There are a lot of snowflakes who are going to go to your profile after a debate and downvote each and every post you've ever made.
