Forum Dislike Button

Narwhal52x

I have a strong feeling this post will get a lot of disagrees but someone has to make a thread about this.

The dislike button is beginning to be abused just like to spam and abuse buttons. Most post that get dislike spammed are trolls, and something needs to be done about this. Nobody should have 23 disagrees added to their profile unless they deserve it. If someone makes a dumb remark that makes no sense, don't disagree with it since it's dumb, disagree if you disagree. I see so many people just make jokes, post memes, and play around on the forum and for no reason people disagree with no with no explanation. What does the community think of this.

Id rather have the flag button back. Or we could have both?

Yeah it is abused a lot. However, there are certain people who are just straight up deserving of getting their comments disliked. There should be some regulations on the dislike button to prevent unnecessary spamming though.

I completely agree with your statement, some sort of regulations would be perfect.

I agree that it's abused, but there's a bit of a catch to it. It's harmless. It doesn't affect someone's Points in any way. The Feature was added in response to people abusing Flags. Now it's pretty much benevolent. For that matter, the Flags did more damage on the side of Moderation than us. They made their work load much larger. I agree it's not productive to spam Disagree, but as long as it has no effect, they might as well go ahead.

That's faulty logic. If you disagree, use it. If you don't even stop to read it and disagree just because you don't like the person, that would be called prejudice.

@GroundedWisdom I do stop and read what everyone says. However, people like you usually go against everyone on the forums and only support Kabam, so I already know what’s coming before I even read it.

Hint, you just admitted to using it prejudicial.

Sort of like when someone asks what you got from a crystal, you state it and you get a ton of dislikes? What earned it there?

Correct. If people wanna brag about their pulls they should expect people to not like their posts.

When people ask you what you got and you tell them then how is that "bragging"?

Yes. The Flag was abused in that way. Its intended purpose was to notify Mods of something that seemingly breaks the rules. Classified as either Spam or Abuse. Flagging sent it to Moderation for review. Abusing it flooded the Feature needlessly and created a mountain of things that didn't belong. It was never just for downvoting or Flagging people we don't like. Flagging affected Points, but that was before the Points actually meant anything.
Now, people have something to spam that doesn't really do anything. Quite genius actually.

That’s was one of my points. it doesn’t affect u in anyway
So why does it matter if people troll or not?
But I said I’ll atop arguing
So I won’t continue
Don’t reply to this pls

I think that it's a decent way of demonstrating that the opinions of some do not speak for the opinions of most. Like it was said above, it's a harmless thing, but at least it gives some indication of the mindset of the player base in general.

There are a few people here that post relentlessly about how issues that are affecting the enjoyment of players aren't really a big deal and that they need to basically stop whining and "git good", regardless of whether the topic affects them in any way. Unless you can think of a way to get these guys to stay out of discussions that they don't need to take part in, what other option is there? It's not like we're talking about a single forum member sitting there and spamming a comment with 100 dislikes.

It's not like it will do any good overall, but at least it's an opportunity to vent and a way for Kabam to see (if they really care) that all is not right or acceptable with where things are right now.

I wasn't really arguing with you. Just adding some clarification.

Prime example of why the intention of the disagree button is broken-

https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/148469/community-discussion-superior-stats#latest

There isn't anything to disagree or agree about from what I said. Keep in mind, I don't care about the button or any of the "feeling" buttons, just adding to OP's statement.
