Does anyone else here dislike the down-thumb function on this forum? I think that it gives haters and the emotional the easy opportunity to hurt other members reputation. It is anonymous, and perpetrators get off scot-free.

"Reputation" means nothing, ignore them.

I wouldn't object to doing away with both of the thumb choices. I think they are both abused.

I like them, I am usually on when I am one-handed and holding a baby so they are very helpful when you just want to give a nod of approval or disapproval without necessarily having the means or inclination to comment.

Keep it.

Dont worry too much at how many likes or dislikes you have, you can always look at it as people reading your posts.

Keep it.

Holysouls - I will give you an A for effort

. I like using the thumb-up, but when I weigh it all, I think that the down-thumb should go. If I had to give up the thumb-up to get it, I would. I think it would create more transparency.
