Not sure if Insightful is the new LOL yet; however, ever since people have started seeding the idea that it is, I have stopped clicking Insightful on genuinely Insightful posts to mitigate worries about people misconstruing their rank-ups.

^ This, my thoughts exactly lol. Sometimes I think a post is insightful but I feel bad that they may misconstrue it so I hit awesome instead.thelordoffelines wrote: »I use insightful as the new lol. Someone else thought if it, awesome would've been better, but I'm going with it.
Same here, I will just start using insightful as the LoL or Disagree button just because its already started may as well not rock the boat.

LOL you are being dumb, people. Developers gave us nice range of different buttons, but you do everything for them to go back to good old carma, where you can only press "+" or "like" like on Facebook. Won't be able to use it as a new disagree button. Who will win if things go that way? Nobody.
I say, stop ruining it for all of us.
Will we get a disagree button on the official forums in the future?
We are currently discussing adding agree and disagree—or possibly upvote and downvote—options to our official forums.

Clicking Disagree or LOL allowed me to show my disdain without breaking the TOS with a comment that was sure to be edited or deleted by a mod. Silencing people by removing that option is just going to cause the forums to slowly die as people are forced to write what they actually think and get banned or not write anything at all resulting in silence either way.

You could always just actually say, "no that's a terrible idea for these specific reasons," no bans needed.
