Toni Zamboni Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Some things to be considered before voting: - bringing back the minus means its unlimited...they cant limit it to 1 a day like in the past...some people may abuse this. - if minus is re-instated, should the site rules be updated to reflect minus abuse and punishments for abusers that neg bomb threads or certain users. - should there be guidelines for what is acceptable and considered abuse - without the minus, we have seen a new wave of trolls, troll threads and posts. - if we dont have the minus, should we have symbol/emoji that reflects our view as a negative…the minus emoji. comments and open dialogue for and against are welcome… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbone909 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I like the Emoji minus idea. Trolls are gonna troll regardless if you have a minus or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I like the nasty looking emoji idea. Maybe a "Thumb's Down"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 What we should do is dump reputation score and make plus and minus unlimited (but 1 per post) Would cut down on rep farming and amount of posts explaining they would plus or minus if they had one.

HI5 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I used to take pride in my minus status, now I’m just stuck with all this positivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bissurnette Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 No use for it imo. If you don't agree with someone, reply to their post to refute their point. If you don't feel strongly enough about it, just move past the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM_ Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I'm always up for more emoji's. A troll doll emoji might get the point across without bringing back the negative sysetm @StealthNuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why stop there? We could have emojis for almost any situation... Trolls Wall of text Just plain confusing Poor grammar Redundant Mini-mod So many possibilities.

While I mostly agree, however sometimes it's a waste of time replying to someone who has no intention of listening to your argument. IE. the small group of posters that are still stuck worshiping the era of 80's NHL hockey. In this case, it's just easier to hit the minus button.

You outlined the exact reason why they should not bring the minus button. It just gives posters a platform to lazily (no offense) voice their concerns about someone else's opinion. Posters do tend to get really petty with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I think of it I would rather have the ignore feature enhanced. When someone is on ignore I would prefer I didn't even notice their existence here at all.

Guest Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 People are way too hung up on upvotes and downvotes here IMO. They don't even do anything. If anything, it just promotes people to be even more petty and argumentative. Edit: If I was SN, and people were crying about downvotes to me, I'd get rid of the things too. It's not worth the drama that comes with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
