REJECTED A Dislike Button.

[OssieTheOstrich]

Add a 1down button separate from the 1up button.

List of projects I eventually plan to finish after the indefinite hiatus is over, assuming I don't abruptly cancel them:

Spoiler

Mario's Rather Unusual Trilogy (Mario's slightly unusual Boss Rush (Completed), Mario vs. Some Unusual Foes (In development), Mario's VERY Unusual Final Frontier (In development))
Sonic's Foray into Random/Unusual Zones (spin-off of Unusual Trilogy, in development)
Angry Birds Slingshot Frenzy (In development)
Super Mario Flashback: Really Good Edition (In development)
Super Hilda DX (In only conceptual phase)

Yes, I am aware that I have about 6 or so fangame projects currently in development at the same time. And yes, I am also aware that all of this is very ambitious.

+ List of projects I'm helping out with in some small capacity during my hiatus:

Spoiler

Super Mario Bros Dimensions 2 (as a spriter, only for Mario's sprites)
MFGG Community Fangame Project 3 (as a spriter)
WordGirl ReWired (as a artist)

I would only use a dislike button on this post, because it's a bad idea.

[Mariotroid]

People would downvote a lot. It would make newcomers feel bad. It's not a good idea.

[Saltman]

How would you feel if a post of yours had, like, 10 1-downs or something?

You would feel terrible probably.

[Evil Yoshi Toes]

Bad idea. If you disagree with someone's post you should reply and specify why. A simple downvote could mean anything from “hm I don't really agree” to “lmao you are an idiot get off this site we all hate you.” Im sure you can see why that'd be problematic.

1down?? I can't believe OP forgot about poison mushroom smh

My games | My twitter | My stream | Sprites Unlimited

Most of the time, dislikes aren't used correctly. I wouldn't even imagine what a Facebook with a dislike would be like, due to the overwhelming nature of people arguing against each other over the most meaningless things.

If you like something, you compliment. If you don't like it, ignore it. Simple enough, yes?

I am 100% certain everything Hello posts will be downvoted, and he would probably leave fangaming and this site.

Bullies and trolls (which aren't really a problem here) could (and I only say could) come and downvote members to harass and target people.

Flame wars could start to become more common here (even though those are rare now). As said before, newcomers will be discouraged from visiting the site.

I don't see a dislike button making MFGG a better discussion forum. I only see a minus world, with more arguments and confusion.

But besides the point, what effect does the downvote button have on coins?

Trolling, how not to behave!

If I were to give you a rating, it would be -1 out of 10.

[Friendly Dictator]

add a dislike button, but only on ostrich101 posts

DO NOT under estimate this lakitu to much or it will be the end of that life (note: do not over estimate him either).

I'm not a fan of Dislike buttons, especially for relatively small communities like MFGG. If you think something is cool but don't have detailed feedback to offer, the 1-Up button lets you show your support without needing to type a very brief reply. However, if you don't like something (whether it's someone's game, their artwork, or their opinion on something), you should explain why you don't like it and discuss how it could be improved.

I suppose it could be argued that the presence of a Dislike button might discourage people from posting really stupid or toxic things - especially on huge social networks like Twitter. However, in a creativity-oriented community like MFGG, new users would be discouraged if their work got a lot of dislikes, and unlike Twitter, MFGG has actual moderation that can step in if someone's being a jerk.

In other words, a Dislike button is not going to happen.

Course clear! You got a card.

[Yrr]

give us a "You f***ing Moron" button instead

[Minerador Slime]

I agree with everyone saying a dislike button wouldn't work. Youtube itself revealed that, but i get what you mean.

[Amine Retro]

I didn't fully read the posts on this thread so here's my opinion:

Making a dislike button will just cause unneeded drama, for example, someone dislikes my post.
What will i do? of course, hunt him down and dislike all of his posts! and then he will make hate posts and maybe even threads to me, other users will interrupt, and so on...
See? unnecessary drama. SMBX forums also had this system a very long time ago, and got removed because of that.

Facebook and Twitter don't have downvote options, and I'd imagine that's for a very good reason. Their comments sections are toxic enough without it, and a downvote option here would only lead to drama.
