Dumb I choose not to use as I think it is rude but if I want to disagree with a post and not give a reason then I will.

What a ridiculous idea.

If you honestly think banning members for using the badges you have provided is a sensible way forward then crack on.

Absolutely laughable.
I disagree.
This is a discussion forum.
The whole point of it, is to discuss things.
Just clicking on the disagree button is not discussing anything.
 
Those that scroll the screen right handed on an iPhone or maybe android accidentally give dumb ratings as they look through posts. You see this with new members never heard of dishing ‘dumbs’ left right and centre.
Swap the dumb position for the like position and vice versa and the world will be at peace!
(Doubt if it’s that easy to do though)

Sometimes I will read through a thread and read some utter tosh and give ‘disagree’s’ as I go. If anyone thinks I am going to reply to every one then they can think again. Sometimes other members can separate the good from the bad just from looking at the agrees and disagrees.

One of the reasons I use this and forums, is to learn and keep myself updated with the Regulations.
I assume that others use the forum in the same way.
Just clicking disagree does not help anyone.

The only thing I’ve seen you use this forum for is to twist and spin regulations and posts to get a rise out of it, otherwise known as trolling
 
In your opinion.
Yes, that’s my opinion, and it could be wrong.
It might be that some people have an over inflated sense of their worth and want to impose it upon others?

Yes it could be that by clicking on disagree, that poster knows exactly what they have said that is incorrect and will learn their mistake.

This is what we get in the post box. Yet I can, if I want, call someones post 'Dumb'... Where is the 'polite' and 'professional' in this????
Do you want this forum 'polite' and 'professional', or for some troll to give out 'Dumb' or 'Bad Spelling' ratings willy-nilly?
They are contradictory..
Why have negative ratings...
 
I personally have a drink whenever I get a dumb rating.

Saying that it's bank holiday weekend and I'm still sober at 9am, someone help a guy in need eh?

There you go. I am off to the rugby today. Can I have one back please?
 
I find it gobsmacking that adults, ADULTS are getting upset over this.

My 13 year old son is even laughing at this as I read it out to him.

Hi mate. Not sure about the little insults. Is this what you say to everyone who disagrees with you??
We are discussing them...
 
Clearly there is some debate and discussion about this ........ so my point to Dan is , come on mate, its your forum, have a "David Cameron" moment and put each of these ratings to a binary poll

Then accept the outcome and if its 52% to 48% so be it and we can all move on.....

The thing I learnt a long time ago about bullies and liars, is that they often accuse people of the things that they themselves are guilty of.
I imagine the same is true of trolls.
