just bring back dislikes jesus christ, way less effort for the moderator team when people cant just flag things they don’t like to instantly gratify and show the fact that they dislike a topic

Removing dislikes was one of the really bad ideas they’ve done with forums. Dislikes served a purpose

Not has they were before
First both likes and dislikes should be shown, instead of the one that has more
And second, it should not hide the post regardless of the number of dislikes

Im fairly confident if youtube didn’t have dislikes then these certain type of people would go around reporting youtube videos they strongly disagreed with

I agree with. The likes/dislikes was used to gauge community reception to ideas also. They removed dislikes because they wanted people to voice their concerns and not dislike. Well, that didn’t work. People just heart ideas they like (not post) and then flag things (a report tool btw) they don’t like.
A UX designer would whip this forums back into shape.

I also don’t get why almost every post gets Ratio’d by the first reply if its a comment about either the state of a hero that isn’t popular on the forums
This guy made a post about doomfist 2 days ago, I made a reply that was sympathizing with it and it got twice the number of likes as OP even though I was literally saying the same thing

Am I the only one that still doesn’t like the thinner font they added about 2 years ago out of the blue? A lot of people were saying it hurt their eyes then we all just gave up complaining
I also preferred how we used to have pages of topics instead of a single endless front page where your thread gets lost if no one responds in 5 minutes

No don’t bring back dislikes. Like you said whatever was against the hive mind would get dislike bombed.
Just fix the flagging system, if someone false flags a post they get banned.

Removing dislikes was the best thing to happen.

bring back dislikes but not in a way that it brings down your post, just make it show how many people agreed and how many people disagreed
yknow, like a healthy vote / discussion

But the thing is, a healthy discussion should be through discussing and not a click of a button.

in a vote, not everyone involved is pitching a side, sometimes its just meant to show how many people agree or disagree

Really wish we could @juicenoodlez too.
This is why it was removed in the first place; you literally had people downvoting anything. Say something about Mercy, a million dislikes. Doesn’t matter if it was pro or contra Mercy.
The folks on the forum don’t know how to have healthy discussions without being passive aggressive. The same thing happened on the old forum. It’s not going to change now.

Still, you should be discussing, I mean… this is a forum. Downvotes encouraged people just to be lazy and vote something when they could easily have their minds changed through an argument.

its better to get dislike bombed than have your entire post hidden for moderator review
flagging is literally the same thing but worse
I genuinely didn’t know it was easter until my dad gave me chocolate lol

But atleast if it was dislikes instead of flags, the comment wouldn’t get deleted or hidden, it’d just have a static number beneath it.
It doesn’t serve any purpose other than showing how biased some people are.
Rework the flagging system instead. Leave downvotes in the void.

But that would mean they’d have to employ someone to actively read and moderate the forums, and we can’t have that!
