LoL Option Gone?!

✭✭✭ZoS is already considering adding a "Disagree" button. The LOL button was ambiguous anyway as some used it because they didn't like the comment, others because they thought the comment was hilarious, and others still just because they don't like that poster.
So we'll have a civilized button to press in disagreement with bad posts instead of arguments after all?
What a shame; was looking forward to the flamefests of a b2p forum where people who disagreed had no option but to respond to the poster.
What are you saying? You cannot disagree without resorting to flaming?3 -

The LOL button told them nothing either as you had no idea what the meaning behind the person clicking LOL on your post. At least 'Disagree' is obvious.jamesharv2005ub17_ESO wrote: »I think they should reconsider. There is no real use for a disagree button. It tells them nothing.6 -

Disagree doesnt explain why you disagree. Only that you didnt even care enough to bother posting why you disagree. So it gives literally no feedback whatsoever. Hence why they got rid of it. Be crazy to bring it back after the mess it caused originally.9 -

Really dude? Is that really the best argument you can come up with, discounting using a button to express disagreement with a post as just expressing "negativity" "anonymously"? By that logic, why not remove all buttons then, so ppl can't express their positivity anonymously? Or is this where we get to the double standard; that somehow negative feedback is taboo and god forbid someone were to feel bad because someone clicked disagree on their post.Teargrants wrote: »Why zos whyyyyyyyyyyyy?! Where is the logic behind this? God forbid we have a means of indicating that we feel someone's post is silly and/or incorrect.
Ok from now on, let us all agree to use "insightful" replace "lol", which was previously used to replace "disagree".
You guys can still express your negativity. Just put it in a reply... The o only difference is you can't do it anonymously anymore.
If you do make insightful your new lol, I really don't think anyone will mind at all.
First off, what is wrong with expressing a negative opinion on a forum for a rated M game of all things?
What is wrong with anonymous feedback over the internet? Everyone on this forum is supposed to be an adult, why not treat them like adults? If ppl can't take negativity/trolls on the internet, they really have no business coming to online forums. I'm just really tired of all this babying - removing 'disagree' in beta, and now removing 'lol'.
Oh trust me..given a few more months of people abusing the simplest of mechanics to assert their peer pressure on other forum posters and all the buttons will be taken out. This is why we cannot have nice stuff.3 -

✭✭✭✭✭A disagree button would be interesting, to say the least.
The term "LOL" already had a dual definition, one that meant humorous and one that meant stupid. I doubt that "Insightful" will be picked up by many people as the "new LOL button"
However, I think that the answer is not another button. The answer is an end to the anonymous nature of the button. People should be able to see who clicks those buttons.XBox EU/NA:@ElsonsoJannus

Moderate for a f2p gaming forum, and have seen how many sorts of pointless crapposts were replaced here with the pressing of the "LOL" button instead.
Yes there was the LOL spam that some players seem to be terrified of; however, that LOL spam was in place of posts like "lol" "stupid" and "op doesn't know anything".
Would rather have such...insights handled via button rather than having to scroll through them as posts."If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." -- the 14th Dalai Lama

Digiman✭✭✭✭✭I am assuming because we weren't using it for what they deigned it to mean. Oh well guess it sarcastic uses of Awesome or Insightful to posts I want to express my displeasure at.
Hey don't look at me ZoS, Did you not learn anything from people playing Dota 2 when they used a well played emote on another players screw up!? It's human nature to bend communication to our will! All you can hope to do is place dislike button so you can control what goes on. Because as previously shown clicks make up their own rules...

No dude, it's not 'official'. That would mean ZOS approves. What snarky posters do with this is probably the reason we lost LOL. /sighPC/NA/DCBreton Sorcerer Maester.White - BB meets GoT >Master Crafter< { 9 Traits completed 4/23/15 }

Only when sarcasm dictates it. So obviously post you deem full of idiotic nonsense would receive the sarcastic Insightful. Obviously ideas you deem terrible would receive the sarcastic Awesome.2 -

There is no need for a "why" you agree. You agree thats it. If you disagree why do you disagree?5 -

✭✭✭As far as LOL being in place of "you are stupid". Well now you wont be able to call people stupid and make things personal. You will have to be constructive and not call people names or lol at them. Pretend its real life and the people you are talking to can beat you up. Be nice.8 -

Heishi✭✭✭✭✭Aww... I was too late. I wanted to name the awesome button the new lol. well, guess insightful it is. That or maybe I'll just post an image of a disagree button instead >.> No no, don't laugh at it, I can't get lol's anyways.And so did many brave men, women, and beast fall to the end of Beta, never to be heard from again. All that is left, is whispers of the adventures they had.2 -
