Add disagree reaction​

What are you suggesting:

Add the disagree forum reaction​

Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:

A disagree rating would be very ideal for anyone who wants to disagree with a post (this is especially perfect for suggestions, staff apps, and even some voting-type stuff since it gives a clearer message of disagreement without the impression of “this is absolutely stupid.”)

We honestly need more “non-positive” ratings, and I feel this is one of the the least hurtful, more neutral ones we can add (as well as a counterpart to the “agree” rating).

Every other Xenforo site I’ve been on that isn’t ECC has the disagree rating, and I’ve seen all the positive and concise messages they’ve stated because of it.

Yes, you might argue that we have ways of showing disagreement already in reactions etc., but I’ll explain why those aren’t good for showing disagreement below:​

Other information:

We have four “ratings” that aren’t necessarily positive/ones in agreement. Here’s my explanation to why they aren’t good for disagreement:

The “-1” rating response is the closest thing we have to a disagreement, but it has its flaws. Most people feel the need to elaborate when they state “-1,” and hell, for staff apps, you are required to explain your -1 (or even your +1) if you post it (while if you rate the app “agree,” you don’t need to explain). Plus, it isn’t a forum rating, but an actual reply to the thread.

The “optimistic” rating is the most positive rating of these four. It too has many meanings with the primary being “this is an optimistic thing you said.” Optimism can go both ways, and on ECC, it mostly means that the post was pretty far-fetched; the “optimistic” rating is a neutral one at best.

The “OMG WOW” rating ranges the most between positive and more negative. It honestly is used more for someone to be “surprised” or “shocked” rather than disagreeing.

The legendary forum rating “potato” is the only true negative rating we have. While it can be used as a form of disagreement, this is the rating that acts more as a “dislike” rather than a “disagree.” I’ve seen many people misinterpret the potato rating as “totally hating the post or the person” rather than the disagreeing.

The disagree rating would be a more milder version of the potato rating and will be a clearer response that people don’t need to interpret to know what they thought of it.​

Plugin or custom addition:

Believe that Xenforo has an already standard Dislike rating, but it should just be whatever was used to make the OMG WOW rating.​
