Does ESO forum need "Funny" button in addition to "Insightful", "Agree" and "Awesome"?

We have "Insightful", "Agree" and "Awesome" but not a "Funny" button. Quite often I want to express that a post is funny, but I can't, so I have to actually type it out. Life is hard.

    It had one. It was used as a 'what you wrote is stupid' button. So they removed it.

    Well from how people described it, it was an all-capped "LOL" button. People often do that when they're mocking someone. Maybe a simple "funny" button wouldn't be used in such a manner. ~Pibb

    What we really is a button to shame bad people on the forums (such as yours truly). We aren't allowed to hate them directly on the forums so have a button that allows us to do it indirectly.

    I agree, using LOL as the "funny" option was poor choice. It's almost obvious that forum would use the button in offensive manner. Need something more neutral, like "funny".

    I'd rather have a "Disagree" button. It would give Developers and Community Managers a true grasp of how many "ideas" out there are generally hated by the rest of the player-base.

    I would hit the 'Agree' button, but that would go against the spirit of his request ;)

    I agree with the disagree button. But doubt if ZOS would implement that, as they seem to steer away from anything that could be interpreted as being remotely negative.

    Maybe they'll be comfortable with a funny haha button though. Really the forum could benefit from both.

    If LOL came back, it would just be abused in the same way it was before. To allow for LOL to be used for "Funny" posts, as it would probably be intended, and to stop the spread of sarcastic Insightfuls, there needs to be something else for saying "what you wrote is stupid", and I think your poll and a couple of other posts here give that solution. We could have LOL back for funny stuff, and have something like a "WTF" button for light-hearted negative expression.

    It still would, currently Insightful has replaced LOL.
    But yes funny would not be automaticly be used as an I disagree like LOL was

    'Funny' button might provoke more trolling and people not take anything seriously - just to farm the funnies. I'd rather have a serious, but constructive conversation, than a funny trollish one. To clarify, serious topics needs serious answers, funny topics needs funny answers.

    PS. I'm not against funny things, do post your funny moments etc. as they're usually a laugh to read.

    It's called the "awesome" button. Seriously, same purpose, but without the demeaning usage scenarios that got the LOL button removed in the first place.

    A good 300 of mine came from one user who was trying to mock me. So... you know, good job them.
