Suggestion add the disagree rating

I already have a suggestion for this

 

+1, i mean we usually use the potato as that i think but a real disagree button would be very nice

 

Potatoe does the job... whay add another? I like the potatoe rating.

Now if only we could throw real potatoes at some people... theres a suggestion.

 

The only time I would use this rating is on this suggestion.
Y'all are salty af, the last thing we need is more negativity on the forums.
-1

 

How many times do these same suggestions have to be asked and denied? A while back andrew took all ratings away for a little bit because of the negativity. The potato has shown itself to be enough and I voted no because I prefer to see positive influence here.
I have to remind all of us that the search bar is our friend, especially before suggestions are made
All of that said, I would rate this suggestion "disagree" if it were available

 

+1

 

If it's just in suggestions, +1.
If not, -1.

 

This may be good if it doesn't deduct ratings.

Or abused and used with negativity.

 

-1

 

If this suggestion was accepted I would rate this disagree

 

Potato is already used for this pretty much but I think a disagree rating would be more clear. Still keep potato though
+1

 

I don't know, the good thing about a potato is it can be taken with a grain of salt. If a user loses it over a potato (and they do sometimes) there is plenty of room for interpretation as to what that potato can mean. A "disagree" would be great in 99 percent of situations in which you just wanna say "I disagree" but don't want to make a deal of it. But there is a large 1 percent of posts where if they were "disagreed" are liable to tick some people off. Should we ethically, morally have nice things even though some people couldn't handle them tho? Likely, I mean if you can't take a disagree or a potato you should go outside more. But I'm just thinking of all dat salt rn.

 

The only time I would need that rating enabled would be for this thread, -1. Don't need even more negative ratings, already have the potato rating.

 

And optimistic, useful, creative, and informative.

 

-1.

There is a reason why I simply posted "-1" without any constructive criticism or without stating my opinion: This is what happens when a disagree rating is added. Suggestions, for example, can easily be rated "Agree" - you have read the person's thread and accept their opinion as valid. A long explanation isn't really needed. However, rating "Disagree" has a certain disadvantage - exactly the fact that you don't have to post. You do not have to explain why you disagree.
Has the author made a mistake in their reasoning?
Do you see certain problems that would occur if the suggestion was implemented?
Maybe the author didn't think a certain point would become a problem and thus didn't mention the fix they had in mind for it. The author doesn't receive any constructive criticism they could react to, they just see a "<Playername> rated your post Disagree." alert that doesn't really help them to improve the suggestion.

 

And that's different from a bunch of people posting "-1" how? In fact, due to the low barrier of usage for ratings it's likely that more people would rate something disagree than post "-1". This gives a better view on whether people like the suggestion or not. The constructive posts will show up regardless of the agree/disagree ratings.
