    If lol is removed the new dislike will be the insightful button. If that is is removed the awesome button will be it.
    If you really want to do something just remove all of them including the agree.

    The only thing wrong with lol, is sometimes lol actually means what a person said was funny. I personally prefer that to be the meaning of it. Lol as a dislike is ridiculous. A disagree tag would be much clearer, and better, if it must be had. Although forums for mmo's have a tendency to get really toxic, which is probably why there is no dislike.

    We need a disagree button, because there is often quite funny stuff that deserves a sincere LOL. Using LOL instead of a disagree is a just a way to make mockery politically correct.

    If your group is bigger than 6 members gain 75% damage reduction.

    Write this on the back of your box and see how many sales you get!

    You won't get any new PvP players until this archaic AoE crap is fixed.
    I for one won't resub until:
    1.) You fix lag.
    2.) You remove AOE caps we voted against.
    3.) 12 months have passed (this is how long we've waited for you to 'get with it')[/b]

    They should just add a "Disagree" button!
    So lol can stay what it is "Laughing out Loud"
    At the moment it is used for both "Disagree" and "Laughing out Loud"..

    Evidently not obvious enough for (as of this post) 27 people. Or perhaps they just don't care.

    Keep the LOLs coming people.

    If someone chooses to use LOL as a 'dislike' button, what they have basically done is indicate your post amused them. If it really did not amuse them, their "LOL" vote is a waste of time and effort.

    I'm good with LOL clicks on my posts. Give moar luv.....whether you meant it as love or not.

    LOL is kind of a cowardly and snarky way to dislike. If you have any good reason, just post it and articulate it -- until we get a disagree button.

    There are lots of funny things that people post and they deserve an LOL. But we will not see any change to the forums now. ZOS has other things to deal with first.

    We actually need at least two LOL buttons...

    One for LOL(that was humorous)
    One for LOL (are you mental?)

    Also one for a slow handclap...

    What do we get out of changing it? Are people confused as to whether someone is laughing with them or at them? Yeah people use lol to "smite" people but they will just do that with a dislike button if it's added and there is no reason to believe people will stop loling if there is a dislike button added.

    I think there use to be a like button because there are like badges.
