Perhaps in some cases this is due too certain individual having a desire to argue for the sake of having an argument. For others they just have nothing better to do than 'disagree.' There are some who genuinely believe they're right all the time despite having evidence that proves them wrong. All the above I do not understand what makes them tick, and frankly, I'd rather not know anyway. I like to view them as just the anomalies that have an aversion to logic and reason, lol. Best course of action one can take for these cases in my experience, shrug, laugh, and move on to something more productive.
As previously mentioned, the 'disagree' button has no impact on a forum member's points. So it's a rather moot point to worry about IMO. Some people simply cannot help themselves and it is what it is at that point. I seriously couldn't care less if someone just taps 'disagree' as their opinion has no real impact when they don't offer up an explanation as to why. Give some sound reasoning and perhaps more would be inclined to listen. Could result in some mutual understanding and respect occurring. Crazy stuff, isn't it? Lol.
I wouldn't say the button is broken. I would say it is doing what it was intended to do, it is just that what it is intended to do is not what most of the people using it believe it was intended to do.
I'd prefer hearing back than seeing that someone didn't have the words to explain why they do not agree. Or maybe it's just they couldn't help themselves. If so, another point proven. I have respect for those who at least attempt to explain why. Those that don't, oh well. Just another number with 0 meaning behind it.
When the spam/abuse flags were still enabled, I constantly reminded people that flagging just to vent against a poster was a bad idea because a) this would force Kabam moderators to read the very post you were against and b) would cause you to eventually draw moderator warnings for abusing the flagging system. It was self-defeating to abuse the flags. It is similarly self-defeating to abuse the dislike flag, only now the moderators are free to ignore the flags. Some of my more controversial or disagreeable posts have no flags, and some of my posts with no disagreeable content have quite a few. That tells me the flags say nothing about the content of the post, or that I should care at all about the flags in general.
About the only piece of information content the flag contains is the profligacy of flagging. That makes it an interesting psychology experiment, but not much else. In that context, I will say that soon after the flags came out I conjectured that one of the psychological impulses that the dislike flag would trigger was the desire to contribute to I was once told by someone on an online game forum that they specifically appreciated my posts because they were far more palatable than the posts of a certain poster they hated on the forums of the previous game they played. When they identified the poster by handle, I realized the poster they were complaining about was me. I was posting on both forums at the same time, in the same writing style (which I don't try to disguise or anything), and literally talking about the same topics just in the two different games. The only thing I didn't do was explicitly out myself on either forum. And yet a single person formed a completely different mental picture from my posts in two different venues.
People are going to judge you based on criteria you don't know, and may not ever even understand. All you can do is represent yourself to the best degree possible in your posts, and let the rest take care of itself.
Or others like the point DNA3000 made would be harder to identify.
Also side note, I have been off the forums for awhile, what does the Points system mean and how does it affect the user? I saw a post on it a while ago but still not 100% sure.
I’d have to be a total *****************
Also why do u think everything u say is factual
Like I said u would have to be.a ************
It’s like flat earthers
We have scientific fact that the earth is round yet they still find a way to disagree
So technically u could
