Actually I think it's an add-in designed for the software, but I don't believe it is included by default.That is available in the software, ETO has one over there. In fact they have a whole slew of "buttons" that aren't in use here.
I think it could just be done manually by the mods by keeping an eye on and responding to that ratio. It's not a daily problem around here, more like once a year or so.... that'd probably require custom coding that the AAC owner/s may or may not want to do.
I guess it depends on what privileges the moderators have, whether they can actually limit one's posting privileges.I think it could just be done manually by the mods by keeping an eye on and responding to that ratio. It's not a daily problem around here, more like once a year or so.
It sounds more like a popularity measurement, rather than a right/wrong measurement.Limit posting rights if a user's like/dislike ratio falls too low.
That would work if you assume that the users will do the right thing. That's usually not the case, particularly with a small user base.It puts the burden on "the market" - us users - to police the forums.
I'm happy to let the environment here be dictated by the users here. I have faith in them.That would work if you assume that the users will do the right thing.
A dislike button allows cliques to form and it becomes a popularity site.
I've never asked the mods here but I know in another forum, some constantly complained about another user. The always took the contemporary usage of words as the only possible meaning. They finally managed to get the forum administrator to ban this individual and then crawled back in their hole, never participating until that member was reinstated ... Only to complain about that user once again.
It's a vicious circle.
My advise is, if you don't like a poster, you have three options. 1. Ignore them. 2. Use the ignore filter to ignore them. 3. Leave the forum.
Some do not have the willpower to use option 1.
If your looking for sympathy, it's between shit and syphliss In the dictionary.

Life isn't fair and it's an option for the member.Leaving the forum because of the behavior of one or two members is not a fair option either.
