Sabre-tooth:
I feel the dislike button is long overdue for a great forum like Nairaland. I think such a button would make people think twice before making comments as no one would like to see dislikes accumulating on his comments. That way, it is even easier to 'dislike' a comment and move ahead instead of having to 'voice' it out and start an e-fight.

I propose Seun gives it a two/three-day trial at least. Have no fear, no one would get 'disliked' out of Nairaland.

My opinion. What do you guys think?

Seun: Does Facebook have a dislike button?

Seun: Does Facebook have a dislike button?

Seun: Does Facebook have a dislike button?

Bluesparkles: I do not agree that a dislike button would reduce e-fights. If anything, it would only be a weapon in the hands of supporters in the event of a fight, disliking the opponent's posts regardless of it's content. I frequent romance, family and politics sections (watching from the sidelines) and I know what I am saying.

However, I agree it would help reduce trolling, though I am not sure how -100 dislikes would stop a real troll from posting crap next time. I think it would make NL look more matured. It's a welcome idea.

Mynd_44: You come here to argue that a dislike button would reduce fights and trolls but how? This is a forum and the point of a forum is to give your ideas about something and have a conversation about it. When you start disliking without stating why you are disliking it, what is the point? Nothing beats users quoting a post they disagree with and giving their own opinions and saying why they disagree instead of disliking.......

Dfrenzy:
Correct man, lets leave it as it is.

Oahray: Lol... Another idea down the drain.
@op, sorry ehn

sexkillz: I support. For the good of the Nairaland community. Personally, I don't like it cos my comments will be victimised .
