Guest Farnsbarns Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 There's been no minus button for months now. I thought this was a good thing because it made for a more positive approach. I noticed that they've come back today. I wonder why they brought them back?

BigKahune Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 ... I wonder why they brought them back? There haven't been enough flame wars lately. Minuses will help. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I find it strange that they've brought them back. All kidding aside I've noticed a couple of very reasonable posts - although I disagreed with their viewpoint they were nevertheless reasonable - that have been 'minused'. It's difficult to see the advantage in having them available. OK; so people can quickly and easily show their disapproval with an individual post but there are other, and more constructive, ways to highlight the ramblings of the occasional idiot.... On the plus side (pun) it seems that 'plus-ing' ones'self is no longer possible - or has it been like that for ages?........ P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hello! I don`t find them useful either. It`s only good for poisoning the atmosphere at the Forums. We have already seen some ugly fights... Let`s get rid of them! Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Farnsbarns Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I see some fools are using it to pick on and stalk children. Yes, quite right! I've decided to turn this into a poll, who would like to see them gone again? BTW, Big Bill, If you send a nice PM to customer service you might find they will change your username back. Maybe they took pitty on me because I was drunk when I changed mine but worth asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 They are kind of pointless on a board like this that has such a strong moderator presence. Normally you use them to self police and hide rude comments. On this board they feel like passive aggressive, junior high tagging. Not sure why they matter. Would your account get blocked if you had too many negatives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 . We've got 2 yeah, 7 neigh, but 6 minuses on my comment about flame wars - which BTW are still occurring. Obviously people like clicking the minus - it's quick, to the point, and easy to see. . B) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermionik Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Way I figure is this:- If you like 'em - use 'em. If you don't like 'em - don't use 'em. Personally:- I will negative a particularly naff post. I will positive a particularly excellent post. AXE, the artist formerly known as AXE® will ALWAYS get a positive, regardless (this latter is merely a "Universal Law" and cannot be controlled, changed or modified.....)

LPguitarman Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. If I'm reading a thread and I don't care for what's going on, I just click back to the Lounge or the Les Paul area and let other people hash it out amongst themselves. So my vote was, get rid of it.

davidl Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I see no point in giving minuses. If you disagree, fine, have the decency to state your case in real language or just move on to the next thread. An anonymous minus to me is kind of cowardly. Just my own opinion.
