Honestly, if you like a post click the thumbs up, and if you don't like it, state your case in the comments. Just thumbs-downing a post seems cowardly.

Would rather focus on the positive and ignore the rest.

As a former moderator I do not think a thumbs down ability is a good idea. It has always created more problems than benifit

Enough haters out there already. Why encourage them more?

If this had been posted as a poll, my vote brings it to:

Add a like/dislike button?

yes = 0 votes
no = 19 votes

Why not just say it if you dissagree.. It's all a bit anonymous if you have 20 dislikes on a post. and 100 likes.. Scoling through to find out who is who.. Pain is the neck ..

If someone has an issue with anything i post i want to be told because if it's wrong i want to understand .. i want to put across my view.. explain myself. Way too much assumption involved in like buttons for me. You can always ignore stuff too.

No thank you.

Naw, I'm more apt to scroll and roll if I disslike a post.

I think it's fine how it is.

I am a fan of positive reinforcement. If I like something, I acknowledge that I like it. If not, I move on in search of things I like. It makes for a happier experience, overall, because I am not focusing on the negative aspects of things. I have no use for a "dislike" button.

I've never used a "Dislike" button on a site unless it was blatently racist or homophobic or something of that nature.
And we have an Alert button for those type of things, which I think will be rare.
As the site continues to grow, more Admin may be needed.

As I recall, @Admin was considering a "thumbs down" button a while ago. I'm in agreement with the users who feel it's unnecessary.

My preference would be to leave it as it is. If there is something I have an issue with then I will comment, otherwise I ignore it. I don't think it is beneficial to just click a dislike or thumbs down button without an explanation.

Reddit allows people to down vote and I like that feature but if this site didnt start off with that mentality then it's probably best not to. I personally wouldn't mind but I see a lot of comments of people saying no...

with people on their phones so much I think it's a bad idea. As it is people do inappropriate emoticon clicks on FB because of phones putting themselves in the awkward position of having to explain. I'm beginning to see people call this out on FB "why the sad face, or the laugh, or angry" etc etc. It's pure argument fodder.

I'd rather the admin not have "fixit fatigue" when there are more pressing matters.

Not needed. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you dislike, discuss. If you like, there is a button for that.

We already can click "like" thumbs up. I woudl be reluctant to "enable" those who like to lift themselvews up by puttign others down by adding on a thumbs down .. I think Facebook ws reluctant to add teh thuimbs down for similar reasons, although they had profits to consider in weighing their decision.

If you like it - click like. If you don't discuss and prove a point.

We rather not be FaceAtheist or AgnosticBook.

I get that need from Facebook, I think we should let each social app develop as seen fit and not try to make everything the same.

I would like to have it.
