Why is there no disagree option in the forum?

We have "agree", "insightful", "awesome".... but if I disagree with somebody's option it seems I need to write a reply, rather than just clicking "disagree".
Personally, I'd rather just click a "disagree" option, unless I've got more to say... but maybe that's just me.

✭✭Troll posters and with respect to discussion, if you disagree with something, explain why, as it could be for any reason.
But if you agree with a post, the discussion points are the post itself.
For example, I could disagree because I don't like that you used 4 periods instead of the commonly used set of three...10 -

✭✭✭✭✭Because it's detrimental to discussion. If you disagree, you should leave a post. It's also used to troll e.g. hitting a bunch of disagrees on blatantly true posts just because of salt.Edited by spartaxoxo on 6 February 2025 04:0210 -

✭✭✭✭✭There was a disagree when the forums launched. They removed it because they thought it discouraged dialogue. They wanted people to explain why they disagreed with a post or comment instead of downvoting and moving on. Then they removed the LOL because people were mockingly using it as disagree.Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. ~Friedrich Nietzsche4 -

Furthermore fellow players having to elaborate on the matter [of disagreeing] means that their arguments are also subjected to 'peer review'.
I always find it amusing that the absence of a 'disagree' button is equated by some to a prevalence of 'thin skinned' fellow players; to me the ones who yearn for the ability to express dissent while withholding their arguments from scrutiny - providing that they have formulated any which in my experience is not a given - are the ones that don't feel particularly confident in the strength of their reasoning and crave the sense of validation 'blind disagreement' provides.7 -

I disagree, and by your way of thinking the agree button should be removed as well.3 -

If you agree with something then the same argument you would make is already available. If you hit disagree, the reasoning is absent.5 -

Mocking can still be done. Just not in the form of "u bad, lol" or
, rather in honest critique of opinion. 0 -

✭✭insightful is the disagree button
No, it isn't, and when asked on this forum about two people (peculiarly) used it for that. At the end of the day, it's not really effective communication to use something to signal something else when no one else understands it that way.
On the wider point there was a pretty recent thread on this and the answer is pretty obvious. It invites abuse.
If someone writes, for example, that they hate a certain type of human being, it may get a large number of agrees, but the mods can easily delete it. If, instead, and only for example, someone writes "I love how ESO deals with gay people" and that gets bombarded with a torrent of disagrees, what exactly are the mods supposed to do with that?Edited by Northwold on 6 February 2025 09:376 -
opalcity✭✭✭✭✭You can just say 'I disagree'. Takes less time than writing a complaint post.
If you really want to contribute to the discussion, you can say WHY you disagree and then the discourse flows.3 -
