I think it's a bad idea. If you don't have something good to say don't say it. Thumbs down will just cause bad feelings.

Especially for those that do a thumbs down with their name shown. That is not a good idea. Besides... this isn't Facebook. If it was I wouldn't be here... I hate Facebook, Twitter, and all the other crap like them. You couldn't pay me to have and use any of them.

To each his or her own Gary and I get it about Face Book, but I found a Cousin I haven’t seen since I was 11 years old and I’m 63 now.

Oh and as far as the thumbs down thing, it appears the thumbs thing is just like the rate a thread thing with the Stars, you can’t see how or who is giving a thumbs up or down. but I give you a thumbs up Garykins. Lol.

It is more the norm, than not, to have that feature on blogs, news comments, and FB and more. I see it as no big deal. It also is a way to compliment / agree with a poster without posting a response itself. On FB Pontiac sites, it is a way to compliment someone's car without posting anything. So a newbie with 100 likes on their car feels good. I don't really see it used as a doomsday evil weapon on the car sites. I am surprised at the opinions against here, it is so common anymore.

I just want to put in another plug for the middle finger option that Bob V. suggested.

And in our user profile it can keep a running tabulation of how many times someone shot us the middle finger.

"This user has been shot the rod 527 times in 14 posts" .. etc..

So I see the thumbs down choice is now gone, and just the like or thumbs up thumb is there.

Once again I find myself in agreement with bird72.

I've been wishing for a thumbs up kind of feature as it's really handy to be able to just give a good post a bit of a boost rather than having to copy it then write "well said" or "I agree" or "that's right" or "right on" or .... whatever. Doing that clutters up a thread a lot more than just hitting the like/thumbs up button. This works well on other car forums I belong to. Nothing says you have to use it if you don't like it.

I do like the idea of the middle finger button... LOL!
