Over use of the dislike feature.

So what you're saying is that you contribute to the lack of harmony and with pleasure. Libs. gotta love 'em.

 

Neither happy nor sad.

I could easily dislike every single one of the loopy hitlerlover poster on this forum but I don't want to get repetitive strain injury and I don't have the time.

It IS possible to dislike every one of someone's posts. It makes sense to me. Whether they bother or not to express their dislike by hitting that button is another matter.

I am saying that it is GENUINELY possible to dislike every single post a poster makes. Particularly if they're bigots or something like that.

 

No, what I am saying is that I genuinely dislike posts and now I am afforded somewhere to say so.

It's a civil enough process. I'm not pulling anyone's hair out or clobbering them with a stick.

 

I just checked - you're in the top 5 dislike 'givers'. So what are you on about? You've given out 161 dislikes. That's an awful lot. Why are you complaining when you're in the top 5 for giving dislikes?

 

WAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAAAA

Someone doesn't like what I say....

Boo friggin who.

If you spend any amount of time concerning yourself with someone mashing a button on the internet you seriously need to get a life.

Ignore it. Move on. It doesn't matter.

 

A lot of people here aren't worth talking to. It's easier sometimes to mash dislike and move on.

 

Iwonder if the dislike button pushers are on the left side or right side of the spectrum. I have my suspicions. Doesn't that say something about psyches?

 

No one cares but you. Grow up.

 

Yes.

Of course it is 'possible'.

And that is fine.

I am okay with that.

Would be bored otherwise.

I prefer them to debate me though, rather than not read what is written, and just click dislike all the time. As one of the mods already said...it proves they cannot possibly have read the post.

 

Not to the same person though 35 times in one day, and I then take part in the debate.

You are just choosing to not see this, on purpose.

Whatever floats your boat.

 

he gets a lot of dislikes?

 

I dont mind the dislike button. I guess one way to keep it from being abused is only award points for likes. Do not take points away for dislikes. Not that I really care about the point system either way. Its not like I can actually use the points for anything.

 

I think the administration ought to award points for likes and take points away from people who GIVE dislikes.

 

anikdote dislikes this post. LOLOLOL i wonder why.

 

Been reading this and the poll thread on the same subject off and on........and wondered what the fuss was about. Came on tonight and found out.

Had four posts of mine disliked on three threads in four minutes by the same person.and I'd not posted on two of them in weeks. Wonder if I've got a stalker!

Almost makes me feel wanted!

 

Yes, Oddquine, it is that sort of thing which makes the dislike function yet another venue for people to be negative and small minded. I think the admin fumbled the ball on this one. Every other board upon which I have posted has eventually kept the 'like' feature, and disabled the 'dislike' feature. Similarly with reputation systems.

I have never reported anyone, given negative rep, nor 'disliked' someone's post. If one is not capable of refuting an allegation, or establishing the common sense of a position, one should not be participating in a sensible discussion. I have thus far received relatively few 'dislikes', nor do they cause me sleepless nights, but that does not alter my opinion that it is one more opportunity to be mean spirited - something not desperately needed on this board.

 

The dislike feature is part of our human rights under the categories of free speech, free thought, and peacefully protest an opinion against a group. For Americans its a part of our inalienable rights under the categories of individual liberty and pursuit of happiness.

We all should have the right to freely and expressly dislike an opinion without being forced to give an explanation and free of authoritarianism.

 

I bet I could use my psychic powers to tell who they are.

I am sensing the letter N, can you take that?

And an H.

Am I right?

 

How emotional.

I fear a tear coming on.

PS.

A forum is not a country though, so you links mean nothing.

Well done anyway...

 

Correct.

Look, in the end, if some demented nut wants to sneak around doing this, while not having the spine to debate, they can fill their boots.

It seems odd to me though, that even if you put them on ignore, it doesn't stop the abuse of the feature.

Indeed, it backfires, because they can still abuse the feature, but lest you decide to look at what they have written, because you have put them on ignore, you cannot dislike what they write.

I usually put people on ignore, if I feel it has reached the stage in which I am going to say something which would be directly against the rules of the forum. See it as an attempt to avoid hassle, for myself, and for the good people that run this place. Imagine some idiot provoking you, in the pub. You do not want to bite, you do not want to lash out at them, so you turn your back, and ignore them. But they keep poking you in the back, again, and again, and again, and again.

Example.

AFAIK, it is a RULE here that you CANNOT name a person, if you are not directly debating them.

For the last week, I have logged on here, and today would be a good example.

A thread which was actually about a really sensitive topic, became, the same four people, talking, not about the subject, but ME.

I have three of them on ignore, but I must turn them on or something, because despite the fact that I do that, I can see what they write, when someone quotes them. One thread today, by this same rat like quartet, was simply about ten posts....all about me.

I could tell you who the four are right now. But, ironically, that same forum rule, which I must try to respect, it does not permit me to do so, on the open forum.

There are many people here that I am never going to get on with. One in particular, I cannot again name him, but think of someone that you go to when you are feeling ill.

Him.

Will never agree with the guy, BUT...at least he does not lower himself to such things, and for that reason alone, I have some measure of respect for him, as at least he is prepared to debate me, and be a man. He doesn't go around like a sneaky curtain twitcher either, having whole conversations about a member.

I don't really care about the feature, per se, it is kids stuff.

However some mods may send me a PM, or something, but it is getting to the stage where you are put off even reading those, because you see 35 notifications, you have to click on that to see what they are, and it turns out they are 35 freakish dislikes from the same member. Eventually, it means people will stop bothering to even read their notifications.

Imo, re the ignore feature, I think that is only any use, if it could be reversed in nature.

Eg;. If you choose to put someone on ignore, they cannot see YOUR posts.

Jack

 

You are right IMHO.
This forum, with its server being located in the US, is subject to US law. Jack is wrong when he says that not being a country, US law does not apply.

If it were a German forum, certain avatars freely displayed here, would be illegal, as would much of the posturing here by anti-semites relating to holocaust denial.

So indeed this feature is compatible with the US constitution.

 

Mental midgets.

 

It would be a very differnt tale, in real life.

Lisa, I disagree with all sorts of people on here, but there is only ONE group that ever do things like...

'Go rape another kids, Mohammed' ( I am a non Muslim European, who is qualified in dealing with victims of sex abuse, so you must know how disgusting it is to read that, for me).

'You should be castrated'. Not kidding Lisa, specifically that is what was written here, and that was on a thread that had NOTHING to do with the J word.

'Why dont you commit suicide'.

Only ONE group of people say those things - Zionist Jews.

I am not a violent man. I hate people that sit behind a PC, and make cowardly threats. I DO take them personally, and they are not forgotten.

Without telling you my life story, I dedicated ten years of my life, to making myself into a disciplined fighting machine. I combined so many styles, ironically, the man that taugh me Krav Maga for five years, he was a Jew. Nice guy though, it has to be said.

I would never lift a hand to anyone, without severe provocation.

Let me put it like this.

Many years go, I used to post on a football forum, but all the members were in the same city, and it is a small city.

Any forum attracts cowards, I have even seen flame wars on a forum that was dedicated to those that kept - GUINEA PIGS.

But there is a line you never cross, and one one occasion, a troll crossed that line.

I suppose he never thought I would find out who he was.

He should have found out more about me first, maybe.

He was to find out who I was, when, one week later, he was paid a visit, to see if he could say those things to my face.

You can guess how the coward was, when I took him for a little chat, right...

 

For the record:

Jack CANNOT debate me.
ie, http://www.politicalforum.com/lates...-israel-map-zionists-just-lying-again-32.html
or

Jack gets Slaughtered.
Jack, YOU are the one showing cowardice.
No Ability to answer then Cry about dislikes?

I CHALLENGE JACK NAPIER TO DEBATE ANY ISRAEL RELATED TOPIC - ONE ON ONE.
That or face More Dislikes.
Dislikes btw, which have No stated limit.
Try your 'talmudic' crap on me son.

BTW that also goes for IOLO, who also can't face the music despite several 'in yo face' challenges:

IOLO?

Humorous to see the antisemites (who can dish it but Can't take it) try and manufacture a violation where none exists. That after THEIR refusing to debate. And of course a pro-Islamic moderator agreeing with them.
