I honestly feel like you, and others (though this is typical for many) can't tell the difference between trolling and dissent.

Since people who disagree with you seem "intolerant" and what not. This isn't a call out against you - many people are like this. See Pro, who thinks anyone who disagrees with him is a troll. Or Jerry/Funnyone after they've snorted 3 kilos of ego.


Baron has posted jokes/trolls about people masturbating to his image. Stevers has posted joke/trolls about stupid shit too.

But both of them post useful things other times.

I don't think just because a post is disliked that it's a troll - or even because it's abrasive, humorous, or otherwise. There are MANY good ways to make a good point. Ever seen abrasive amusing insulting language somehow tied in with an actually well written argument? See: Java.

I just think the benefit for this is not worth the risk, people will simply dislike posts they dislike, hiding anything that dissents from normative approval - and that's nonsense to me.

I have an idea... VIP's and Mod's not sure if this is possible but.

GreenLantern March 06, 2013 07:36AM

My opinion is that VIPs are the ones who delete posts here.

DurNominator March 07, 2013 09:05AM

Even if this could work.

RobDarken March 07, 2013 07:46AM

I think this is silly. I also think the voting is silly. NT

Batman March 07, 2013 02:03AM

Moved to Feedback where it belongs. (n/t)

DurNominator March 07, 2013 01:24AM

What if the OP is a troll post? (n/t)

DurNominator(VIP) March 06, 2013 06:43PM

Then no one responds, or VP's cut it out themselves. I think the voting thing might work better actually. (n/t)

GreenLantern March 06, 2013 08:28PM

This is an insane idea, and not the good kind of insanity. ie Viral. (n/t)

ghuljun_thul March 06, 2013 12:16PM

And then QHCF becomes Reddit and everyone hates one another. (n/t)

Scrimbul March 06, 2013 12:12PM

Or worse, le meme face terribles! NT

Batman March 06, 2013 12:30PM

It isn't completely terrible

Lokain March 06, 2013 06:28PM

I've tried, and I can't. Every time I read anything le reddit le posts le boards:

Batman March 07, 2013 02:05AM

This is bad and you should feel bad.

Stevers March 06, 2013 10:17AM

You don't know what is bad, I will explain to you what is bad.

Nurok March 06, 2013 11:29AM

How could this idea possibly have a net-benefit?

Stevers March 06, 2013 12:05PM

Voting would work better

valkenar March 06, 2013 09:22AM

Lolled that I used you as an example, and you used me

Stevers March 06, 2013 10:21AM

I like dissent, I dislike trolls

valkenar March 06, 2013 11:28AM

I honestly feel like you, and others (though this is typical for many) can't tell the difference between trolling and dissent.

Batman March 07, 2013 02:09AM

Not I, sir

valkenar March 07, 2013 05:22AM

...are you seriously implying that batman doesn't troll?

Stevers March 07, 2013 06:06AM

Look

valkenar March 07, 2013 07:25AM

It's hard to take your claims of me being the troll seriously when you're the one insulting/name-calling like a petulant child.

Stevers March 07, 2013 07:54AM

Were that the case ALL AROUND

Batman March 07, 2013 05:37AM

Democracy is bad because majorities are tyrannous. (n/t)

RobDarken March 07, 2013 06:46AM

Also, as an aside:

Hah.

Making an exception here. Or did you mean in general? (n/t)

valkenar March 06, 2013 03:11PM

OH shit, someone just came up with a really clever idea, time to delete it so no one steals it before me (n/t)

Artificial March 06, 2013 09:08AM

Do you really need PKS _SO MUCH_ that you willingly misguide people OOC just to get few more PKS while they try to eyejab or stun you? :) (n/t)

shaapa March 06, 2013 07:50AM

Seems stupid as it will allow people to abuse it to get the information they want out there instead of the right information. (n/t)

tesline March 06, 2013 07:44AM

Eh, I do see your point.... never mind. (n/t)

GreenLantern March 06, 2013 07:47AM

This point is among many, many others
