As for the idea of a dislike button a great idea maybe this could be set with a quota so when reached that particular post is automatically removed.
The like function was always going to be used (by some) as a point scorer and mostly has and I said so when it was introduced. Dislikes would make it even worse and create even more of a cliquey environment if one gang had more members than another and could get all posts removed they don’t like. There should be an active board host to moderate.
There is a host Martin but he only comes in now and again and most of the time does very little.
If a post breaks the rules there is an option to report it. Unfortunately this usually ends up with the whole thread being removed as Martin can not be bothered to read the threads to edit them.
Good idea for there to be a moderator though this person should only be able to remove posts that break the rules (spam, harassment, fighting, or rude content) and not because posts are in opposition to their view point.
As for the “like” button maybe this could be changed to say agree rather than like. The opposite button to this could then be disagree.
You can then agree with or disagree with that particular posting on the thread.

Nice to see how sensible and courteous we can all be. Some good idea’s and valid points on this thread, apart from 1. MisterQ just cannot quite grasp that adults can agree or disagree with viewpoints and opinions. If you like a persons post it does not mean you like all their posts, and vice versa. If I agree with a post I like it, it doesn’t matter who wrote it. The Cliques and gangs he see’s are all in his head. Because Scep has agreed with some of Q’s posts and now is not happy about his behaviour on the other thread, doesn’t mean he’s ‘swapped’ sides fgs ! It means he was appalled by the lack of respect given to someone grieving the loss of a loved one. It’s not the first time Q has shown such inadequate social skills. I’m wondering if he is on the spectrum with some form of autism perhaps, to have such little emotional intelligence. Either that or he is very very childlike, imagining little gangs like school kids in a yard swapping allegiances at the drop of a hat. It’s quite baffling really…

i mean yes, like youtube has a like and dislike button, i think it is good to know if people like or dislike a comment, but i mean if people disliked a comment i made, then i might ask them why, people like to debate, so many types of personalty we wont all agree with someone, but it can be good to know what someones counter opinion is, as counter opinions can actually be beneficial to us, but it obv depends what we are debating about, but yes there are many idiots and bad people on this world who will say dumb opinions vs someone else opinion sadly, i mean the clever people will change there opinion if someone who counters it has a good opinion, i mean one time i disagreed about are country fighting Germany, but then i was told if they did not then they wud be shot in a cell, now i agree that is was best they went to war, i dont agree with war thou, we are all humans, just this is what happens when we have evil leaders, in life it is good to be stubborn but it is also not good to be stubborn.

It’s not just you, Demelza. Quite a few people were pretty angry.
Q has finally worked out how to get a reaction, and he does seem to need a reaction. usually nobody can be bothered to replay, but he’s now worked out that if he says something gross he can get noticed. Nothing’s going to stop him now.
This is BANG ON !!
That is exactly what he is doing.

As nobody actually knows the guy, it’s bound to be baffling.
I don’t see a lack of empathy as a result of autism – though I could be wrong.
people have often noted that if you’re born into a very poor family, or no family, you usually grow up with one of two attitudes. Either you have total contempt for people in poverty, and look to your own efforts as a proud example of what can be done; or you show great sympathy with poor people, recognising the serious problems they face. The idea that it’s the poor wot ‘elps the poor is an old one, but a good one.
The same goes with suffering. If you’ve suffered a lot, usually through no fault of your own, you usually develop one of two attitudes. Either you have no sense of anyone other than yourself being hurt, and look on with contempt at those who reach out to help (after all, who helped you when you needed it?); or you become aware of how hurtful and disabling suffering is, and respond instinctively when you see somebody else suffering.
I’ve seen both attitudes – to poverty and to emotional suffering – among people on jc during my 10 years here. Mister q isn’t the worst, but he’s among the worst. people with much more malicious intelligence than his can be much more effective.
Mister q – what you’ve said about one of the more popular chatters on jc when her husband has just died is unforgivable. If I were you, I would apologise on the RIP thread itself and explain why you demonstrated such a callous attitude, without any attempt at bitterness.
Just me saying. my guess is that you won’t.

I agree with the dislike or disagree button
i was annoyed he questioned My message to bell he does not know me and does not know mine and bells friendship yet felt the need to make a stupid comment on a thread for ppl to show support for bell
he could have chose to start a new thread or even send me a personal message he didn’t
this isn’t his first dig at me on threads relating to supporting ppl IE dedicate a song he questioned several of my poems related to loss of my son mum friends etc often take the thread off topic i have never once posted on a thread of his simply because he is just as welcome to post on this boards as i am but i have enough respect not pick at threads just because i don’t agree with them we all have different opinions and we can voice then if we wish but that thread for bell just wasn’t the right place
i wish we had the option to ignore users on here like we do in the room
i wish when you do report a thread or post you get a reply saying what has been done if anything and yes a board moderator who is about more would help i think and yes the picture profile facility has not worked for ages people are often commenting about it in the room

Or mine Ab. I was getting up at 04.45 for Work and do my lunch and Belle,A yank policeman (red) and a few others would chat as I made lunch. Belle always asked what was for lunch and how my son was as I got him a job with me after he split from his gf.
