This is the direction it's been heading so can't be too surprised. RB was anything goes, SL was close to that but eventually set some limits and S80 is all positive. Soon we'll only be able to talk about the new Eminem album if we're talking about the censored version of it that we got at walmart.

I can't imagine how people got through high school if they're hurt by a dislike from a stranger on the internet.

This is why robot changed the way he did. Guy took an unbelievable amount of s---... sure, there were ways for him to avoid it like by leaving etc (that's a whole other thing tho). Point is... It was hardly just because of dislikes/neg reps. However, the dislikes and negs just lend fuel to the fire that we don't want flaring up... They lead to that more toxic community. This isn't just about personal preference here... it's about what's in the sites best interest.

People will go on a disliking spree/or dislike back just like with the negative rep system, "oh you negged me, h--- no, boom negged b----".

Especially if the dislikes will take away your points or likes, would cause an enormous amount of rage in our community, I wouldn't mind dislikes also, but I also like the positive vibe, I was always a nice member back in SL days, but I felt I had to get out that stage and you guys helped me with the bulliness and it encouraged me to be a sadistic prick if I wanted to survive, now that we have a positive growing environment I can't seem to go back to my nice guy personal.

Look what you monsters did to me, so let's stick with the positivity, before another (nice) member becomes a prick (@FlawlessT)

We aren't heading into combat, "morale" is overrated...the whole point of a message board like this is to discuss music and read what people have to say and sometimes express support and sometimes express dissent. I genuinely don't see the point of having likes but no dislikes, seems like we're trying waaaay too hard to be politically correct. I've been a mod and I didn't see reps or dislikes as a "headache" in the slightest. Like, what do you mean? How would having dislikes affect your day as a moderator? lol

Reps were "likes" with power. The more years you were there and the more posts you had the more rep power you had. If someone with a 10 power rep, repped you, your rep would go up by 10. If they neg repped you it would go down by half that I think so -5 and you can leave a message for them to see when they check their reps that only the user and admins can see

If I was in charge I'd bring back reps just so I could go through and read the s--- @Mano leaves people whenever I need a good laugh.

Interesting. I would have guessed it had more to do with the exposures. It was bad business but those first few months were pretty great. If you went at a mod you were getting exposed lol and I think we were all guilty of it. I think at one point even Dev One changed a poster's avatar to their hideous Facebook picture and their signature was made their IP address. LMAO terrible for building a website but those were some pretty fun times.

You see a member in a thread, click on his/her profileb(first time I said that after knowing we got female members) and you're confronted with numbers. And before you can do anything, you're influenced by numbers, at least in a small way.
Numbers aren't the only influence, but the influence is there.

We're not negative at the moment, but we need to think about our image towards guests and people who are deciding whether they should sign up or not.
Tbh, I'd rather have no likes/disliked/reps at all and only discuss instead of being described by more numbers. People should discover other people by their words and not by numbers only.

we could have it so dislikes don't affect your like count
