MyOwn Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Many boards have an "Ignore User" feature. Maybe the upgraded forum software will have that feature. It does. Does the Ignore User option include a Button that will have a Send Birdie Now Function??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I'm toying with changing the reputation system to "like OR dislike" vs just "like". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Here is the thread to which my apology referenced: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/165195-fs-klipsch-ksp-400-mahogany-w-feet-and-perfect-amps/ I EDITED my foul language but the word is repeated in the subsequent post. By reading it everyone may have a better understanding of what actually transpired, rather than comment on something they are unaware of.

T2K Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 As far as the young member mentioned that seemingly disappeared goes, he repeatedly responded negatively to others threads regarding Klipsch speakers that I own with information that, in my opinion, was untrue. After his repeated negative responses I asked him if he actually owned or had ever heard the speakers that he was commenting about. I do not remember his exact response but it was negative regarding ownership or otherwise. So, it appeared he was commenting negatively about a speaker he was unfamiliar with.

wvu80 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 As far as the young member mentioned... In the spirit of trying to heal some sensitive issues, perhaps this is not the best time to re-hash the specifics of past discussions. Just my thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twk123 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 "Dislike" is bound to stir the pot worse than you've already seen it stirred. Agree wholeheartedly with this.... I have been on other forums where the dislike button has been abused greatly and people get dog piled with dislikes instead of anyone making a counter point or actual argument.

I can see that, but you can also limit the number of positive or negative reputation points a member is allowed to give out per day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 "Dislike" is not descriptive. It invites argument. Stackoverflow allows down-voting, and while it is intended to be constructive, you have whole hoards of buzzards just waiting to nitpick every visitor's posts. It is aggravating to new-comers. Very cliquish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Misunderstandings can be cleared up relatively easily. Malicious posts, not so much. You are right. It can still be cleared up, it's just harder and frankly is where the moderators may have to become involved. If only one of the scorned people would swallow their pride, the feud could be ended right there. It takes two or more people to fight. It's like a schoolyard. The moderators are the teachers. The public, most of which do not have a decent education in this new written communication, are the children. Who is going to teach texting, emailing, and posting etiquette to the world? It is needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Not a fan of the dislike button either. I'd rather not know. Of course, I'm not a fan of the like button either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cliquish. Yes. But Stack Overflow is a completely different animal. Also, they don't show you WHO did the upvoting/downvoting. We have that option here. I'm just entertaining the idea again. I don't think it's entirely bad. (calling it "like/dislike" is probably worse than calling it "upvote/downvote") Some people may need to have their posts downvoted. :-) Anyway, I have it enabled for fun on the demo site (link in the announcement thread)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even an amoeba will flinch from things that cause them pain. Introduction of a new mental anguish may be more like leaving the barn door open than educating folks. I would be against it on a well moderated forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it would help prevent people calling others "retards", if they know they can just hit a downvote instead (provided they haven't used their allotment of downvotes for the day). Some people can't control themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
