Just been catching up and noticed those posts about the red X. So that doesn't just mean disagree then??
Nothing wrong with disagreeing in my book...sometimes it's necessary....is there some sort of further punishment or something-----get 10 X's and pay a fine or get an electric shock or something
If i've ever disagreed with you I want you to know that I still like you....well probably
When the website was initially implementing the new "like" system we were also deciding on which "likes" we wanted.
The vote on the disagree was because on this forum, unlike others, people can give dangerous advice - especially in the mech forum. The hope with the disagree was for it to serve as a warning against any potentially dangerous advice.
Some people - like myself - voted against it, because of its ability to be abused and therefore rendered irrelevant and ineffective in its stated intent.
When there are lots of disagrees throughout the forum on what mod to buy, or what style of vaping is best, the 5 disagrees on a post in the mechanical mod forum might become overlooked and seen as petty disagreement and not a warning against potentially dangerous advice.
Overall, people here are fairly good not to make the red x into something petty.. but some people do take disagrees more seriously than others, because of this...
It's just a matter of not obfuscating why we got them in the first place.
Everyone makes mistakes though, it's position in the likes bar is ridiculously easy to click accidentally.
