Thumbs down would work if there was a "Hall of Shame" page showing the posts that got the most. But for some reason that's just too negative for everyone. 🙄

That would be great. If you're going to thumb something, then own it.

Basically, I'm for any forum suggestion that helps stir the shyte a little. 😛 Drama is always entertaining.

Removing Thumbs Down may increase posting volume to the extent that disapproval or ire requires an outlet.

Yes, but Thumbs Down offers a mitigating factor.

I think DISapproval should also be noted.
