Why can't we Dislike the trolls that clutter our forum posts? There's a like button, so someone might have 400 likes and you would think he's a popular and sensible poster. But if he had -300 likes you would know him for the jerk he is.

You can't think with your own head, and can't form an opinion yourself?
I dislike like button on the forums. Its abused, and dislike button would be abused even more.

Can we get a ban button, so every time someone posts an eve is dying thread we can ban them.

After 5 years of Eve General Discussion having at least 3 of them im just about tired of them XD

I would be fine with a dislike button if the likes and dislikes were shown side by side

like my 81 likes and then next to it it would say -615 (81/-615)<--- like this

Even better would be if anyone getting more than 10 dislikes in a week gets their posting privileges suspended for a week.

You dislike the idea of a dislike button? That's such delicious irony.....

This is good idea.

This is good idea too. But it wouldn't be 81/-615, it would be 81/615. We only know that some people are going to get a lot of likes and/or dislikes so in a few years it could end up being 8100/61500! What does that even mean?

I would take it one step further and create a simple ratio. Divide the larger number by the smaller number, round it to the nearest tenth, and replace the smaller number with 1. Example:

8100/61500 = 1:7.59... = 1:7.6 (rounded)

This means that for every like, you get 7.6 dislikes, or vise versa in the opposite case.

Hmm, I have five accounts. 5x3=15, damn, I'm tempted to support this just so I can turn myself into a one man banning machine.

Anyway, the issue with a dislike button is that it doesn't show whether or not someone's posts have value, it shows how many people on the forums disliked a posters opinion. And a large number of people on the forums are idiots.

This is the stupidest idea ive ever heard... there should never be a dislike button(if this is where you are going with it), becuase everyone would abuse it. many people support ideas, but do not click the like button. but anyone who didnt like a post would dislike it with all their alts, all their friends and all their alts....

this is something that has bothered me for some time. I think that the amount of likes that appear for a thread should only be for the amount of likes on the Original Post of that thread. not for every like for any comment within it. which is often misleading because the likes go for people both for and against the idea. for example; at the moment this thread has 6 likes, but should only show 3 since that is all the OP got. be far more accurate..
and if i were to support a dislike button, it should only be allowed to the OP, and not to comments within it. it should help ccp get a better glance of what is supported or not. also, i believe like and/or dislike should be restricted to only one character per account. this would also help with creating a better sense of accuracy of where people stand on issues.

-we need to limit the amount of trolling that goes around, and a dislike button would only give trolls power....

There needs to be a block button. I see certain names and immediately ignore their posts. But it would be more efficient if I didn't even have to read their names!

Who needs a dislike button when you have this nifty ignore option that also conveniently cleans up threads of terribad posts by people such as the OP?

Bounties for all! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2279821#post2279821

Limit character switching to something like once every 20 minutes.

We could use some economic incentives/disincentives too. If you want to reply to a topic more than once, you must agree to transfer ISK from your character to the OP and the amount would depend on how many times you've replied. Your first reply is always free, your second reply is always 1,000 ISK and it increases exponentially from there with each additional reply, which includes all comments, likes, and dislikes. Editing your replies would be free too.

lolwut? What on earth possessed you to think that was a remotely possibly even slightly decent idea? Restricting the amount that you can post on a forum, makes it not a forum Ugh And that would give all of the posting power to whoever has the biggest pockets (either that or people would constantly start splinter threads to reduce the amount of ISK that replying to a thread was costing them) and would kill any open discussion on the forums. There's so much massively epic fail in this post that I can't even begin to wrap my head around it.
