    Dislikes have been activated for Friends. That is Friends can now receive dislikes. However, the rule that only Friends can issue dislikes is still in place.

    While too many dislikes would indicate some kind of problem, a few dislikes here or there should be taken as a badge of honor. As the great Paul Newman once said: “A man with no enemies is a man with no character.”

    I know some of you hate the idea of dislikes. But I think we are ready for it. This is just a stupid web forum anyway, if you take dislikes seriously, you probably shouldn't be on the Internet.

    P.S. Excessive or inappropriate use of dislikes may have negative consequences up to and including banishment.

    As a group, I think we are ready for it. Randos will feel better that they aren't the only ones who can be picked on. Besides, I kind of want to slow things down a bit. No one really gave a crap about negative karma points on CS anyway after it was explained to them how it worked (that it was meaningless and no one cared).

    I hope that most Friends will defer from hitting dislike on posts that they simply don't agree with. I will maintain my precious dislikes for trolls, cry-babies, and playnar lovers. :D

    OK I like it, just because Im kind of sick of the Facebook style "let me post something, anything, to get tons of likes", i've seen that quite a bit here, not so much on CS.

    At the very least this should push people (friends) to think twice before posting.

    I miss the hate that used to be directed at me. Feel much better with the dislike.

    Good policy. I'm probably guilty of the former to some extent, despite a continual effort to reign in my ferocious disdain for itch scratching. :oops:

    Maybe there will be some SBAF that craves to be disliked? |{

    Also will anyone get banned for spamming likes?

    For me I'll keep my dislikes to Randos only.

    I had no idea Friends could not be disliked before.

    I thought most Friends didn't receive dislikes because they hold the power to avenge your dislike by disliking you themselves, while Randos easily received dislikes because they cannot fight back (at least for the time being, until they were "made"). Kinda like nuclear deterrence theory, if you know what I mean.

    No bullshit, I actually thought exactly the same thing. :p
    I'd like this twice, if I could. :bird:

    @Marvey: It was just too tempting...

    Seems fair enough...if you can dish it out you should be able to take it.

    FYI, I only liked this because a thumbs up is more representative of the HE-560's treble emphasis. But you should know this post caused a bit of a negative flashback. I need to go hide now and listen to some goo.
