Laserjet Neutral Newbie February 18, 2014 Share February 18, 2014 The Junk button was intended for users to have an outlet to express their negative emotions on posts. It could be for disagreement, anger, annoyance, disgusted, etc. We have received much feedback that Junk is too strong a word to use. The administrators including myself also agree that this word has a much stronger negative connotation than we had intended. Therefore, we have changed Junk to Dislike. Receiving a few negative points should not be taken too seriously. But if you get it all the time from many users, then you should reflect on your own words and behaviour. We welcome all feedback on this change. Hope everyone can Dislike and get Disliked in peace. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fast1 Supersonic February 23, 2014 Share February 23, 2014 Have we gotten rid of anonymous "disliking"? Because I think it's cowardly to allow this. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVT Supercharged February 23, 2014 Share February 23, 2014 Should make it compulsory for the forumer who click the "Dislike" button, to put in his/her name and the reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic February 23, 2014 Share February 23, 2014 (edited) For me I prefer "Agree" & "Disagree". I know it's very 'survey' like but it makes sense. For eg. Opinions change, one moment ppl might say things that garner praises, other moment opinion might change and ppl might say things that others do not agree within the same thread or topic. You can't "un-praise" or something similar. If you are using "Dislike" you will have to use "Like" to make sense out of it. But this is unlike liking or disliking a profile. We are more of agreeing or disagreeing with comments or opinions. I understand that the admin might try a differing approach rather dan sticking to some standard template but it must also make sense. Just my point of view. Edited February 23, 2014 by Watwheels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodooman Supersonic February 23, 2014 Share February 23, 2014 There are kids around who cannot take any form of constructive criticism. I profess to confer one anonymous dislike to someone who insisted he can do the impossible and go on and on insisting he is right, you can't argue/ debate with this type of person who will never concede defeat. Many anonymous dislikes mean time to reflect on oneself, it serves its purpose without starting too many fights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many anonymous dislikes mean time to reflect on oneself, it serves its purpose without starting too many fights. I do not think it's kids who can't take criticism. In honest opinion nobody will take criticism lightly. It's a matter of what words are used. For most ppl they can take agree & disagree coz it's not personal. If using "junk" or "dislike" ppl might take offense and think it's personal when actually it's not. For me I do not expect everyone to agree with my opinions or comments but to "junk" or "dislike" what I think that is like getting a little personal which I think some ppl gets upset. It's not so much about the anonymous part. That's also why ppl want to know who exactly "junk" their comments. It more or less becomes personal. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been junked for very neutral comments, it bothers me for like 5 mins and after that, who freaking cares. We are all adults and should be able to live with some criticism once in a while but not everyone behaves like grown up here, some get personal, vindictive and start stalking you all over the forum. I thought the dislike button can be a good feedback loop to auto regulate/ police the forum in a collective manner and sniff out all the bloody goons. You are assuming everyone is a grown up or behaves like one and that cannot be true. The problem is most people take the dislikes too seriously and like Alice in Wonderland, you cannot pleased everyone and not everyone will agree with you all the time, so live with it (if you are reasonable and logical, you shoud not get too many dislikes that puzzle you). If your comments attract a lot of dislikes, then perhaps you need to review them and/ or change how you put ideas and thoughts across in a public forum. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydrocarbon Turbocharged February 23, 2014 Share February 23, 2014 Receiving a few negative points should not be taken too seriously. This is the main thing that stood out for me! Junk or Praise, Like or Dislike, all are people's opinions. Have we gotten rid of anonymous "disliking"? Because I think it's cowardly to allow this. I think the anon portion serves its purpose of not escalating some fights. While it's cowardly, I think it should stay, though personally, when I junked people, I'll leave my name. I praised / junked the opinion, not the person, so doesn't matter to me. This is just a forum, for people to voice out opinions. Getting praised feels good, junked feels bad, but just let it be lor. It's just a reflection of how our opinions are received by others. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the very few times I've junked, I've always left my name. The times I've been junked, no-one bothered to be so forthright, all anon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
