Thumbs Up/Down

I liked it too. It was a lot easier to just thumbs up a comment instead of posting another one that says the same thing.

ditto.
(thumbs UP!)

People were just thumbs downing people they didn't like, regardless of the content. I miss the ability to simply thumbs up an opinion or idea which I would echo, but passive-aggresive trolls and bitches misused and abused the feature and caused everyone to lose access. Ruining it for everyone.

I'm with gamma. Too many people up voting their own comments or creating alts to spam them.

Thank you gentlemen.

I think it reduces the general level of acrimony. While it’s validating to see a bunch of folks upvoting your post, the downvotes seem to inflame and prolong conflicts. Being able to mute people also helps reduce conflict.

25 was the biggest bitch about abusing the function, creating alts to spam his detractors, and the main reason it was taken away

What was it you said? " Dance porch monkey dance"?

I like it just as an easy way to affirm without adding an otherwise empty post. I don’t think I downvoted more than a couple times and it was usually to agree with a negative post rather than downvote the author. I’m assuming it’s one of the features that will come back when Founder gets around to it.
