-1


No I'm kidding. :p

It wouldn't be that hard to enforce. Just quote them asking them why.

 

it's a bit annoying when you see a -1 on your suggestion, but everybody has their reasons :)
maybe it's because they don't fully understand it or they think it's something bad?

 

The problem would be when you get a group of people who will "bomb" someones post so there rating goes down, I've seen this happen to many community's who use systems that have both positive and negative ratings (for example rooster teeths old mod points)

 

How about a +1 and a -1 on posts for ratings?
OH WAIT WE HAVE POLLS AND POSTING.
Some people just give +1's or -1's, which kind of annoys me when people don't explain why.

-1

 

Honestly, why do you even care. If they think that the suggestion you posted was not a good idea then let them do the "-1". I say this suggestion is a useless suggestion. For one, it gives the staffs even more things to deal with. Just ignore the -1 comments. If they do not want to leave a reason then do not make them.

 

Honestly, a rating does not really matter too much. When someone says '+1' or '-1' without reasoning, I simply act as if it was never posted :p

+1 for effort :)

 

-1 for the fun of it.

 

Where's the "-1" rating when you need it...

 

Ikr?

 

Anyway I wouldn't necessarily give this a "-1" because I do so where you come from this. It is annoying to have post just a plus or minus 1. What I do is just ignore them or just ask for a reason and if they don't meh. Forget them :p

 

Just ignore them, it's not that hard. Honestly this suggestion seems a bit rediculous. Anyway: a lot of people post +1 without a reason. They have one they just don't feel the need to type it out.

 

Minus One

 

If a suggestion is good, someone writing '-1' will not affect andrew's decision towards it.

Therefore, I revoke the +1 from before.
-1.

 

I think the rule should be no useless posts, this would include +1, -1, etc. If it was +1 or -1 with a reason it would be okay.

 

-1

 

I don't believe this should be made as a set rule- Though some may be doing it to troll, others may be doing it because they just dislike the idea, and they don't know why. Or they don't feel like putting a reasoning for whatever reason, and just decide to simply disagree. Andrew has said before in voting threads / suggestions - A detail worded post will get your opinion a lot farther then a +1 or -1 post. So if someone does truly disagree with a post, they most likely will most likely make a detailed post, over a +1 or -1 post.

If they decide they want to just say -1, then let them. It won't hurt your suggestion, really, unless there's an overwhelming amount of "-1" votes. I don't feel like putting a rule bound on this is really fair, it's sort of taking away a person's freedom of speech.. Even if it's two characters. Lol...
