I've wanted this for a long time. Bring it CCP!

*rolls eyes* Yeah...because there is not enough negativity on these forums already.

There's a whole social theory behind why a lot of sites don't have downvote or dislike buttons. It's pretty sound too, so this will never happen.

Basically, it's not in anyone's best interests, certainly not CCP's, to encourage spread of negative emotion over their social space, particularly since they are a business, and probably want people positively discussion their products where possible.

Some quotes for you:

---

Baldwin, who has worked on many of Facebook's most popular features, spoke candidly when asked about the possibility of a "dislike" button in a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" discussion on Tuesday.

Actions on Facebook tend to focus on positive social interactions. Like is the lightest-weight way to express positive sentiment. I don't think adding a light-weight way to express negative sentiment would be that valuable. I know there are times when it'd make sense, like when a friend is having a rough day, or got into a car accident like my sister yesterday (she's okay!). For these times, a nice comment from a friend goes a long way.

According to a paper recently published in PNAS, the social network used software to identify positive and negative words in status updates and to segregate posts into the two categories. Facebook then massaged the subjects' News Feeds to show mostly positive or negative posts. In the end, the company's researchers proved that emotions can be contagious even without direct contact on social networks, and even if you're only reading words on a screen.
By the end of the experiment, those who'd been subjected to positive status updates posted happy ones of their own, and vice versa.

Dear TechMechMeds, you can call me "meckie". I am Michael Epic's girlfriend and I am a psychology major at Austin Peay State University. You cite psychology as a good cause for banter but you are incorrect. Banter is a good-humored exchange of remarks. However, no one you would be "disliking" would be exchanging similar banter with you. They would be making a point and you would take your obviously ambiguous understanding of the word banter too far.

Your comments Michael has put into this thread, responding to him as a "sensitive little cup cake" are hatemongering. This practice shows your immaturity and ignorance. The psychology behind that is you feeling inadequate and not measuring up to something in your life. You might have a father issue, you might have a significant other issue or you might have a personal issue.

An issue we could all agree on, except you because you will react defensively is that you choose to frequent an anonymous internet forum connected to a violent first person shooter game. You choose to make inflammatory comments to the other users just because they disagree with your point of view. That is very childish and exhibits the somatic markers to a sociopath.

Perhaps you should see a counselor or talk to a family member or loved one and work out these issues. It will improve your morale and positivity and perhaps have a positive impact on your life in a way that makes you not feel so small you have to hatemonger on a message board.

Bless you.

That dislike button can't come fast enough.

I believe your assessment of TechMechMedsGÇÖ personality and mental state is based on too few data points. Having read more of his posts than this single thread I disagree with your assessment.

Actually I am inclined to believe that was posted by a Phycology major, probably in her first or second year, who self-righteously feels she has it all figured out.

immersion/rage... sure same thing, lol.

lol I think its funny that she just tore that dude a new one and none of you have anything but insults to reply with. You can't cite where she was wrong or refute her comments...all you're doing is just further proving her points ahahaha

man what a woman! eat your heart out, suckers

I would like a "tears collected" stat.

much more useful than a dislike butan

Exactly.

Also a "Dumbass post" stat that detects whenever you predicate your whole argument on a playstyle you don't like being "Scrubbery," without providing evidence.

I like you man, you've got moxy lol but your "You mean, your mother" thing and earlier you're like "clearly, its his mother" deal even when someone else was like no that sounds like a 1st or 2nd year psych major lol you're peddling that mama sh!t a little too hard sonny boy.

What's wrong? You can't handle a girl handing you your arse? You gotta try to cheapen it by saying she's my mom? She doesn't look like my mom lol because my mom is 54 and my girl is 19 and I'm 30.

Like I said, eat your heart out chumpski ;)

You know what the difference between you and me is? You have to attack me to make your points. I don't have to attack you to make mine. You are grasping at straws, struggling as hard as you can to make ends meet and argue with me. Where as I just get to sit back, toss my feet up on the dash and stick this sucker on cruise control.

See let me tell ya...please lend me your ear man to man. Meckie owed the 'ol stepfather $20.50 for getting a Hooters outfit. You see...she's very pretty. She's knock you on your ass pretty and she's looking to be employed at Hooters while getting her degree in psychology by Christmas. That means for me, bling bling chicken wings and banging a Hooters girl. She was standing behind me while I was reading your replies and she saw where you cited psychology and she said baby, can I reply to him?

I was like yes ma'am, step right on up. Not only does she and has she played Dust before but she plays Gears of War, Borderlands, Call of Duty, Mass Effect and Warface with me via her xbox 360 which has a custom made skin of her and I on it done by a vector cartoon artist I employ from time to time.

So she has all full rights to slice and dice you, action jackson. She's gone now so she can't respond...all that's left is me to do the talking and unfortunately I don't know all that psychology stuff ahaha but I still stick with the fact that she owned you. No matter how many posts you make saying she didn't...when you can't refute she did and your only refute is that she doesn't play when she does...oh hahaha oh man, that's all you got jack?

I wish you could be on my level....you'd be happier. Big smile on your face. *squeezes your cheekies* ;)

So I text her and filled her in and she started dying laughing and a few seconds later this showed up via SnapChat and I thought I'd send it on over to you:

Word of advice for TechMechMeds ;)

Dude lol she's an awesome girlfriend...legit. She's a psych major in college and 19 and plays video games and does everything people say girlfriends would never do. I'm a smuck lol legit, some scrub ass guy and she's a beauty queen but it won't be too much longer and she'll have a 1.5 carat soliatire white gold engagement ring on that finger haha beyonce said if you like it put a ring on it and sir, I love it and I'm putting a ring on it.

I thought that would be a fun end to the arguing...no hard feelings man, hit me up some time and we'll run in a squad and bust some heads :)

One more thing..... ---> just for good measure :)

Rob the cradle much?

Anyways, you two carry on with more stories about your real lives, I'm very interested.
