    Mind explaining why? I can't understand why it would cause problems for people to tag a post they don't agree with or think it's dumb.
    @nerrollus
    Because once you *** someone off (happens pretty easily here) people would tag every single post you made with "disagree", regardless of content. And tell their friends to do the same.

    We had many, many people raking up thousands of disagrees in a short time.

    The problem with that is that eventually you wear down and you stop posting your opinion because you're tired of all the stupid disagree trolling.

    At that point, the trolls have won ...

    It boggles my mind that someone would have their feelings so hurt about getting disagree flags on a forum that they wouldn't ever post again. lol

    Boogles your mind? You don't read the forums much then?

    People get into pissing matches over posts here all the time. The "disagree" crusader trolls would just feed that rage ...

    Yeah, I know people get into arguments all the time. I just can't imagine someone getting so upset about getting a dislike/disagree flag on their post that they'd stop using the forums.

    I've seen it happen several times during the closed PTS when we still had the disagree button ...

    The button is unlike what? Unlike a toggle switch, a zipper?

    You keep using that word "unlike." not sure you know what it means.

    Can we get a button to go along with the agree, lol, insightful, etc buttons that we can click when the reply/post is dumb and a bait, troll, or just outright wrong?

    That is what the flag button is for.

    Flagging is a little more extreme than disliking. Flagging says "CENSOR THIS" in a Big Brother sort of way (and btw, Big Brother wasn't the government, it was the brainwashed population that agreed to turn in anyone guilty of "thought-crime".)

    Dislike is just polite disagreement, rather than PC-fascist censorship.

    The intent is to just make someone's post as something you don't like, flat out wrong, etc. I use the term "unlike" because the Facebook "like" button is so popular and people could recognize it.

    unlike or like is like putting a loaded gun in the hands of a child. Hell what's next a meaningless reputation system where you score points for how much you are prepared to bend over and who likes you and doesn't therin?

    God no not ever, if it ever happened I would never post again, feel free to actually talk about this post in a manner an adult does instead of anonymously thumbing it down, like you are 3 and can't talk propewly or expwess reason because baba needs poo poo.
    WTS a rare racial motif for a price that reflects it's value, you're probably the only one without an obsession for useless cosmetic crap. Who needs style anyway when you already have it?

    By the way the trolls won years ago, it's just only the trolls care from idiot HQ. So we like to let baby have its bottle and get on with actually something that matters while they frot like derranged chimps on whatever sad little corner of the internet people care. Win on the internet, honestly are you that pathetic, who the funk cares you mindless prole.

    I think someone needs a hug, or at the very least a LIKE button. >:)

    Nope, if someone continues to blatantly troll I don't want to unlike a post I want to ignore them.
