Opposite to Thank you button

Tim Robbins · 2008-05-14 14:38:17

I like the thank you button and use it to thank posters. What about having the opposite? Where you could hit a disagree button?

Other than that, stated before that its not going to happen. Thanks is not "me too", its "thanks". You want to disagree and be heard, articulate.

You can add your support here OP but it's unlikely for the moment anyway.

Instead of a thumbs down button how about a spank you button? It's a little more light hearted methinks. So you get thanked if you're helpful/good and spanked if you're not.

This will not happen in the sort term. We been there with karma and it did not work.

The thank you got off to a rocky start and now seems to be used in the manner it was intended.

I'd love a 'muppet' or thumbs down button. Ideally one that, upon garnering a high enough 'muppet' to view ratio, would automatically hide the post in question, à la slashdot/youtube.

A great idea but something that would spoil so much of the fun in some places, and create outright war in others.
