My view remains the same from last time you asked. Ie no ‘dislike’ button (or others for that matter). Just a ‘like’.
Got an issue with someone’s post, reply and state why. That post can get likes itself, or trigger further debate itself.
Got a serious issue with a post, eg CofC - report it.
‘Likes’ are fine, they indicate to the original poster that their post has been read and agreed with/is amusing/worthwhile doing, and don’t clutter up the forum with pages of ‘I agree’ type posts.
Keep the forum appearance clean and simple - just look at RAWK for the direness of avatars, text per poster per post they do, neverending emoji’s and a general hell of a website layout.
NB I am almost a FOC but I have used dial up on bulletin boards from early days, and have always hated ‘fluff’ on discussion platforms.
Edit: you can see, even with just ‘like’ that posters use the language of ‘ha, your post only got x likes, mine got 5x likes, proves that m right and you are wrong’ - which adds nothing to debate.
