I think this place is better with neither button. If you really like what someone is saying, reply with a +1 or a "this". Not hard. I did read the rules. "Very short (one-word) or nonsense posts do not add value to the topic. For example, only the words, "I dunno," or "lol cool," is considered spam, and could result in a warning/suspensioni if this is persistent behavior. " Saying you agree with a previous post adds more value than "I dunno" or "lol cool.". Because those are noncommittal. If a mod tells me that "+1" and "this" are verboten, then I'll stop.

What's more pathetic, someone complaining about being harassed through a software feature intended to show support, or people getting so upset the feature was taken away from them they feel the need to discuss it in a THREE PAGE LONG thread. The sad little children of this forum couldn't play nice with the toys they were given and now they're complaining about having their toys taken away from them for that very reason. Maybe next time you'll think twice about how you conduct yourself on this forum.

Bottom line it was used to troll. Had it been used in good faith we'd still have it.

For one thing the balance between political views is evenly distributed among the mods, and it is mods on both ends of the political spectrum who lobbied to restore the Political Forum in the first place, and have continued making the case to keep it.

The irony is, instead of dealing with the only child who had an issue with it, they cancelled the entire birthday party. That is called bad parenting in America.

A pattern existed and the poster you stubbornly try to pin the decision on was merely the latest in a long line to overreact to personal squabbles with other posters who antagonize, like yourself.

If you really need a "reputation rating" to participate on a message board, then perhaps you need to step away and go outside.
The decision was made based on MULTIPLE reports from MULTIPLE users regarding reputation votes. Many may not remember, but a person was able to leave a comment when giving another user "reputation" either good or bad that only the person would see. That feature was abused by some and the mod/admin team had to field many reports regarding it, so we decided to remove the ability to make a comment. The complaints and "reports" that the mod/admin team continued to get is what resulted in this decision. Evidently there are some people that seem to think that their only source of self-esteem is solely their "reputation score". The mod/admin team is not here to babysit. If the "reputation" feature is so important to users, there are plenty of other social media sites that offer the "feature" to stoke self-esteem. Off the top of my head there is reddit, twitter, facebook and probably instagram and snapchat. Go upvote, downvote, like, etc. until your heart's content and you feel better. In the meantime unless our admin/mod team deems otherwise the "feature" is gone and not coming back. Get over it. There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Like Buttons don't file frivolous Mod reports, morons do. You haven't really solved the problem, only given credence to the problem children which will now embolden them to engage in other misbehavior. “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato
