Join The Clarion Call: Seun, Add A 'dislike' Button To Every Topic Or Post by igomen: 4:59pm On Dec 11, 2014
Fellow NLs, join me in calling on Seun to add a 'Dislike' button to every post on NL, that way one can get a better sense of how people feel about a particular post or topic. If the 'Like' button can be implemented, I see no reason why the 'dislike' button should not be added. Lets give the Nay sayers or should I say 'Dislike' sayers a voice on every topic and post. This is clearly evident on big sites like Yahoo, CNN, BBC etc where site visitors are allowed to comment, like or dislike other people's comments - this epitomises the beauty, freedom and power of expression and Nairaland should not be an exception. What do you think?

Seun, don't mind this thread jare. Dem waan spoil business for you. Facebook and instagram don't have dislike buttons and see how big they are.

Leave it as it is.

If we like it, we click like.

If we don't like it, we say it to your face by commenting.

E still dey work!

This is an old idea. Suen is being a Big hypocrite or just not thinking originally (facebook invented d like button ,seun simply copied d concept)
by failing to make this forum more real-life like.
In real like dont ppl dislike or disagree on issues, dont they voice it. As people grew used to d like button so will they to d dislike button.
Seun could test the concept for a year before deciding whether to make it permanent or not.

NL uses like because it has seen d experiment get tested by other social media .
Seun, cant use dislike because he doesnt know how it will fare and doesnt want to try it out ,experimentally.
If twitter,fb others had used it with success, seun wudve quickly copied d concept.

Re: Join The Clarion Call: Seun, Add A 'dislike' Button To Every Topic Or Post by Ajibel(m): 6:35pm On Dec 13, 2014
If dislike exists, it'd reduce the number of comments. If i dislike a person's post, I'd quote the person and tell him off which drives conversation but if there is a dislike button, all I'd do is dislike and get out..
Re: Join The Clarion Call: Seun, Add A 'dislike' Button To Every Topic Or Post by asalimpo(m): 6:46pm On Dec 13, 2014
People will initially react strongly to d dislike, meaning their sensitivity is raw. Initially, some will reduce postings, others will think bf they post , which will increase the overall quality of topics while reducing d number.
Then eventually, people will get used to it and finally embrace it.
At this stage, the impact of the dislike button can b objectively assessed.
But on the other hand some ppl will b very jubilant with it and embrace it,right away.
Som will b unfazed by or even oddly attracted to dislikes than likes.

No, it was absolutely required as you can't seem to get the difference between FB and NL.

False, stop making baseless statements.
The "like" button existed prior to FB.


Seun, cant use dislike because he doesnt know how it will fare and doesnt want to try it out ,experimentally.

Rubbish. Several forums have like/dislike or upvote/downvote buttons.


If twitter,fb others had used it with success, seun wudve quickly copied d concept.


Stop comparing apples to oranges, and making baseless assumptions. FB is not a forum, so comparing it to NL is ignorant.

If you hav eyes you wouldnt ask this.
The most popular social netwrk is a goldmine of inspiration to other sites including NL.
Which other larger and/or more influential site is there tht cudve supplanted fb? The contenders are few and less popular.
Fb is a likely influence on NL.


"NL copied fb"

NL's feature set closely align with those of fb. Seun ddnt think them up,just "borrowed" the ideas for use.
Y fb? Cuz its the most popular and most visited. Therefore the most likely source of inspiration.

Like i said - fb isnt a forum but NL is, how dos tht negate the issue of NL being inspired by it and adopting some of its features?

Or a forum cant use some of a social networks features?

So that means any site using it "copied" it?

Prove it!. Show me one feature on FB that exists exclusively i.e. only on both FB and NL that exists on no other site.

Arguing that "dislikes" would improve the quality of posts cant hold on NL. For instance, when a folk posts about GEJ, GMB supporters would dislike it while GEJ supporters would like it. How would you then guage the relevance of the post that'd have 150likes and 180 dislikes A dislike feature wont be cool for Nairaland IMPO
