Anonymous Dislike function - Time for review?

[kdash]

Noise, there will always be noise, but noise will go away after a while lah. 

 

I think we sld be happy that the dislike is anonymous, because it shows that the person cannot face you, dont dare to face you, or just letting off his unhappiness because he cannot do anything else to you. 

 

So getting anonymous dislike, if you look at it from another angle, you are actually superior to the person giving it to you.  

 

If you have never gotten any dislikes, either you are always politically correct ( or simply hypocrite), or nobody pay attention to whatever you have posted. i think quite sad lor.     

 

just saw this thread. i have never gotten any dislikes so far since joining MCF. think i belong to the "nobody pay attention to whatever you have posted" category...      

 

anyway the admins and mods have said that the system will not be changed and have given their reasons to which i find logical. 

 

agree with bro @dach and many others that there are more important things in life than being hung up about anonymous dislikes... 

 

have a blessed Christmas in advance! cheers.

Fresh example of a ball-less individual who talks big and I don't understand half of what his highly intelligent acronyms means. I am assuming WOT means We Object to Testicles? 

 

 

I understand now.

 

WOT JSM.

 

The disliker is saying he is a waste of time

 

so please just shoot him.

 

 

What an idiot, use WOT on a car forum.

 

I thought he meant when he Wide Open Throttle

 

he wet his pants and has a jism.

Recently come across more and more disgruntled voices (some that I can think of in recent memory includes @Turboflat4, @jamesc, @eviilusion, myself) with regards to the anonymous function when giving praise or dislike, especially the dislike portion of it.

 

I do recognize that MCF points cannot be exchanged for grocery vouchers and one should not be overly mindful of the points since it has no impact in your real practical life what so ever.

 

I also recognize that anonymous function do have it's positive role and use eg. when we want to give another person further praise and need to cycle through at least 10 other person, sometimes I will use the anonymous like to give 1 point to some posts that did not particularly shout out to me but is fair in the contents. In between 5 and 1 point, given the current "market rate" , 1 point will seem a little stingy, therefore anonymous function will be useful here.

 

If anyone have used the dislike function before, one will know that to give a dislike, you will have to enter some reason for the dislike before the system allows you to do so. I will assume that is some sort of deterrent for wanton use of the dislike function. But frankly, is this system effective? Do the mods monitor the content entered? I did get some dislike points with the comments totally not linked to the topic the supposed anonymous person is disliking for . or Simply a "haha" or some nasty words. That to me is personal attack. And the funny thing is I have never even met the person in real life. I also realised that this function has been abused by intellectually challenged people with oversized ego to "get back at the person" when they have been out debated in the open.

 

If the system owner thinks that giving a dislike (reasons required) should be handled differently from giving a praise (no reasons required), then shouldn't it be time to review if anonymous function for the dislike should be abolished?

 

If the anonymous function for dislike is abolished, it will make people think harder if they really want to give the dislike and if they are willing to stand by their differing point of view and defend it in the open in an intellectual discussion rather than sniping in the dark.

 

I must come up and say outright that I myself have used the anonymous dislike function during the early days of my forum participation when I was too hot headed and taking things too seriously. I apologize sincerely to those (not that many lah ) I have given anonymous dislike to previously.

That is not something I am particularly proud of and is hoping we can make some changes for the betterment of MCF.

Dear moderators, time for a review

Sorry lah....but I think a lot of anonymous dislikes is hated by most members. Most are pissed off. It's not about the points, it's about being brave enough, list out your Nick, and comment about why you dislike. Right now a lot of people are hiding in the cloak of anonymous . When a well meaning function has been misused, it's only right to curb it

I kana dislikes also. So what?

 

Think about it.

 

For topics which u have a stronger opinion, there will always be people in the opposite camp.

 

Yes. People can disagree without giving a dislike. I know that.

 

However when such topics or discussions get a little deeper and passionate, you are bound to stir some emotions in people.

 

An anonymous dislike is a channel for them to vent or "get back" at you without getting into forum politics.

 

For me, I just ignore.

 

Unless u tell me that the dislike is going to affect my year end bonus!

but recently there are people giving dislikes to seemingly mild and harmless posts... in any case the admin/mods have explained before on their stand and i respect that. since things are not going to change, then we just have to deal with it.
