"Disagree" makes the most sense is discussion threads. "Dislike" makes the most sense in other threads such as appraisals, contests, etc.

@equity78's idea seems to be the best solution: offer multiple choices and let members decide which to use.

Unfortunately, it won't be a quick change.

I don't think disagree can be substitute for dislike in some cases. Voted for dislike.

 

[MapleDots]

How about a button that says.....

I disagree and dislike you ?

Would cover all the bases

Just disable or take away all the buttons - Problems solved.

You come here to learn and to invest - who cares about who like or not like or whatever - This is not a dating site.
If you don't like something just move on.
You meet people on the street everyday and some you like/don't like and there is no buttons. We are fine with that for thousand years.

Agreed.

Think about the leading social network, Facebook.

They transitioned away from simply liking to: Like, Love Haha, Wow, Sad, Angry

Given their resources, and this being a major decision effecting the UX, I have to imagine a lot of money, and smart brain power was poured into the thought process to change.

Not saying to copy everything from other social networks, just saying take a look at what they found to work, and could it be implemented here for a better UX.

Another idea, related to taking a look at Facebook, is the suspend account option. I'm very aware of the procedure to cancel your account now. But given the current drama and general landscape of the internet people need to take breaks away their internet hangouts and the difficulty of doing so given most people can access the net from their phones or desktops, there really needs to be a simpler suspend account option. Similar to Facebook's policy.

I disagree and dislike you ?

Where would this button be, on their profile page?

My issue with your thread title, not your thread, not you, but your title, is that it insinuates a dislike button means disliking you -- the person posting, rather than disliking the post itself.

Good point, I must have been on cnn too long. Picking up their bad habits.

Ps. my previous post was in jest.

I know.

It was also an opening to comment on the click matey title that drew me into this thread in the first place. Arghhh like a pirate

 

[MapleDots]

Haha..... So it worked.

Now to go and see if I can have the Donald can me fake news.

Life would be complete

I have zero problems with dislike button-it’s easily understood as disliking the POST but would not be upset if it was changed to disagree to appease the sensitive.

 

[RogueWriter]

I would suggest that you change it to "You and your idiotic post make me physically ill". Lets go all in. We're all about being real, aren't we? So why be pansies.

 

[MapleDots]

So I see namepros has removed downvote and reinstated dislike. I actually prefer dislike over downvote. Downvote just seemed a bit too generic and lost to me.

Seems like the clear winner of the poll so far is to keep the dislike terminology, and namepros has responded by changing it back.

Lets hope everyone is mature enough to handle it and not take it as a personal insult.

TO ALL NEW MEMBERS - and the odd old one

When you get a dislike it means the member dislikes your statement or post, it does not mean the member dislikes you. Use it as an opportunity to open dialogue and remember that trying to force your opinion is not what it is about. Accept that another member may not agree with your opinion and move on.

 

[Dandelion]

"Disagree" should be used. That's my vote

 

[MapleDots]

Almost forgot spite dislike

What is that?

That is when you dislike someone's post and then they follow you around for a week disliking every one of your posts because they feel slighted.

Really??
If you do that please consider going outside and getting some fresh air.

Lol, I agree. Instead of spending that much effort, and looking kind of immature, if there is truly someone you do not want to see on the forum, just block them.

 

[Joe N]

I vote we just give everyone a poo emoji if we don't like their post.

Oh, you made a sale, but can't disclose any details?

 

[Dave]

I like this https://xenforo.com/community/resources/post-ratings-taking-likes-to-the-next-level.410/

This is by far the best choice in my opinion.

 

[4better]

Would prefer a variety of options that would really represent what I feel. More choices, the better.

The easiest way to implement that would be with a new set of emoticons reserved for showing how you feel about the post.

Right now we have the blue namepros ones and the yellow ones. Remove on of those and add thumb up down, poo, etc and set it to one emoticon limit per post.

 

[MapleDots]

And the disagree has taken the lead!!
