    Maybe, as long as we don't change his "resident shitposter" tag, it's godly.

    I've seen some exemplary uses of dislike.

    Rando/newish person starts a thread that is either vague, something that has been discussed 30 times on here, or on the extremes (total audiophool nonsense or NwAVguy objectivist nonsense). Members respond letting them know they might be taking a bad approach and it won't be a productive thread, have you considered ____ instead? Random responds with dismissive condescension, letting everybody know he's about to feed these sheeple the real deal. Dislikes deployed. Rinse and repeat, and when someone see a specious claim and glances over and sees the author has 2 likes and 20 dislikes, they know not to waste their precious brain power.

    Pretty much. The equivalent karma system on CS worked quite well. It was one of the things that worked at CS once it was explained. The reason it wasn't put in is because one member freaked out about it. In hindsight, I should have just ignored the person. Allowing Friends to receive dislikes only seems fair. In fact, I'd like to extend the ability to issue dislikes from Friends to also Facebook Friends and Almost-Made.

    Also, dislikes are a good way to give people a little reminder. Like if you guys think OJ is being too mean when he argues with Milos about estats, plankton, grain, plasticky, limp-dick etc. You could slap OJ some dislikes instead of PMing me about it.

    When feeling the urge to "dislike" I consider sarcasm or to ignore. Sometimes I get silly...

    Dislikes, along with shitposts and irreverent gifs. It's the SBAF equivalent of 'tarred and feathered'.

    I think one more thing to consider is to not reference like-dislike triggering in relative scale.
    Simply mediocre posts don't deserve dislikes, imo. Considering karma balance.
    I would have given more dislikes in the SBAF first few months than I think I will now ever manage.
    There are a lot to like here.

    How about when you dish out a dislike, you lose a like?
