Dislike option for comments

[Fiskbatch 6]

Hello!

I think you should add a dislike option for comments. Just being able to like a comment pretty much renders the feature useless. A comment with many likes doesn't have to mean shit. Since it is biased as ape-bollocks. I can't see why this isn't implemented already. That they use the same thing on Facebook is understandable, because it's filled up with sissies(pardon) that can't handle someone disagreeing. But since this is a forums for DayZ-players who; hopefully, are a little older. And hopefully these wonderful bandits; I mean people, can take a dislike or two.

What do ya think?

i agree

Sometimes I like to use my like's ironically. Mindfucks people into a false sense of security.

I like this.

theres no point to it, if you dont like a comment ignore it and go, no one really cares if you dislike their comments so it would be stupid to notify them that "Mr. X Disliked your comment"

and to top this off, this isnt myspace, facebook or whatever the hell book youre on, so who cares if you like or dislike someone elses comment

I dislike the idea, but I'm not gonna dislike you, because you suggested it.

[killavirus 12]

There is a point in it. "If you dont like it, comment and go" In the same way of thinking one could just remove the like-feature and just comment. I know that this isn't myspace, facebook or w/e, that's exactly what i wrote in my original comment.

But it's easier to look at the statistics if you have a dislike option. "50 people like it, 50 people dislike it" Then I know what people think of my idea, etc. Maybe comments with a too bad dislike/like ratio will be removed automatically. This would remove comments of spam and what not.

I like this idea purely for the fact that there is so much crap/duplicate ideas posted on this forum and it's impossible to make any sense of any of it. Posts/threads that have enough dislikes should be hidden.

You can't really do this in reverse (highlighting posts with many likes) because you would still have all the junk in between making the threads so long. Also, you might not like a post because you disagree with it, but that doesn't make it a bad post. Posts that are trolling, whining, not being constructive, being aggressive etc. are bad posts irrespective of opinion and should be hidden.

There is already a 'report' button but that requires you to type in a reason for why the post is bad, but it requires a mod to read your report and make a decision which takes time. It also feels like you're being a snitch which I don't feel that comfortable with.

+1

Yet another reason why they should implement it.

I agree, and like :)

While some comments/threads are decent, and some are bad but on the decent side, there are some that are just pure garbage, and should be disliked :D
