ADMIN DISLIKE emoji for post “likes” enabled. Now, how do we want to use it?

[Dennis Olson]

Thanks to NoMoreLibs, I’ve located and enabled the DISLIKE emoji on the LIKES emoji group. Currently the “weight” is set to “neutral.” That is, it doesn’t add or subtract from a member’s “reaction score.” Here’s where the “how do we use it” comes into play.

Should it apply to article content or the user him/herself?

If the former, the “neutral” setting applies. If the latter, it should be set to “negative.”

I leave it up to you to decide. All the others apply to content. At least, that’s how I’ve seen them used so far.

I say content. Just because I don't like what somebody puts up doesn't mean I have an active dislike for the poster.

Even with NoMoreLibs, just because he's pulling the most disgusting gifs from Creepshow he can find--at least he hasn't gotten into the real horrorshow stuff--doesn't mean I wouldn't read something he posted.

Perhaps you can find another emoji to use when referring to the poster?

What does the emoji for "personal distaste" look like? Mr. Yuk?

I say content. My motto is argue the argument not the poster. That's good debate.

 

[Dozdoats]

Be consistent, leave it to apply to content.

 

[The Hammer]

I'm The Hammer and I dislike this message.

I voted for content as well.

 

[Millwright]

Content only, with no weight.

Wouldn't want to hurt any feelz.

If a member is consistently obnoxious, they should be directly addressed by the offendee.

 

[Blacknarwhal]

?

...actually, that'd do, really.

 

[blackjeep]

As for Mr. Disgusto, ignore is the best solution for me.
It's not worth looking at his content, if I'm subjected to the nasty gifs.

 

[NoMoreLibs]

I love this button. Just downvoted almost everyone for fun....

 

[NoMoreLibs]

Yeah, content only. Everyone can't be in each others favor on every single post.

Of course I'm sure I won't get even one downvote....not one!!!

Sometimes you can't argue people out of a position they didn't use logic to think themselves into (e.g. the irrational police/.mil hatred shown by some).

I do however think that if dislikes have negative weight, then some members may take offense to being disliked and will proactively dislike the posts of others, utilizing the new feature as a weapon.

Hypothetical:
Dennis takes my cookie, slaps down a post, or whatever..... The big D Dog has 179,000+ posts that I can now go dislike..........

 

[The Hammer]

We can now downvote posts. Next step...voting posters off the island...

Next step.....um, if I'm not wrong, AND I'M NOT, posters have been voted off the island in the past, GOOD posters.

 

[Red Baron]

Personally, I would -not- have a Dislike Emoji at all.

 

[Plain Jane]

I voted for content only. If you have beef with a member there are already several ways of dealing with that.

 

[jazzy]

if we got to have one, id say for content only. i agree with red baron, id rather not have one

That depends on your idea of "good".

 

[ShadowMan]

I thought we already had plenty of emojis for disliking something: and if you really disliked it: , and if you really disliked the poster:

[NoMoreLibs]

Wow, this is turning out far more interesting than I thought. A little surprising, but not too much.

 

[hiwall]

We already had the sad face and the mad face. I admit I have been reluctant to even use those.
I don't see much value in anything negative. And no I do not believe that everyone should get a trophy
The thumbs down is fine and I think everyone can realize it is for just a simple disagreement.

 

[bluemoon]

I would say use it for content.

 

[Dennis Olson]

As long as everyone knows that the “likes” emojis are only for content, we can use them without fear of hurting “feelz” (heh).

Based on a few of the posts in this thread alone, doesn't look like it.

I can't believe we have such a Facebook loving, only make me feel good crowd.

 

[Hognutz]

I am going to see how many downvotes I can get, and wear it like a badge of honor!

 

[Dennis Olson]

The old software had “reputation” capability, which actually affected a “reputation score.” Way back at least 15 years ago, I tried activating it. The reaction was so negative that I turned it off. So when people clamored for “likes”, all I could do was smile recalling the previous attempt.

Allow me to be the first!

I suggest worms, LOTS of worms!!!

Thanx Dewd!

Interestingly enough, the range of "likes" does NOT show up on my phone. All that shows is "like" with none of the options.

 

[Dennis Olson]

Turn your phone sideways.

Hold your finger on the "like" thing for a second, they will pop up.

 

[Fake Shemp]

My wife has a Dislike emoji she sends me every day. I'm a little sensitive about this.

 

[night driver]

Ahhhhhh.

THERE they are...

The "feelz" comment was made in jest.

The option to address people directly is always there...and does get used.

Your comment is not really applicable.

 

[Capt. Eddie]

I vote content. There's more than enough bickering at times already.

 

[samus79]

Content only, or this place will devolve into Lord of the Flys in no time. Who gets to be Piggy?

Yeah, you believe what you need to.
