Quite simple this. Many other websites have such a feature, it doesn't make much sense to not have it here. All you really have at the moment is likes only, which can be misrepresentative if in reality the poster in question supplies a lot of comments that deserve the negative slap on the wrist that comes with it. We're not just talking CSM elections here, it can also apply to fitting advice for newbies, lame attempts to troll the community, the list is endless. To only focus on the positive aspects of a reputation system given the nature of the game itself is a massive tragedy that needs to be put right.

An example of a Dislike button in action.

I await your thoughts, if any.

There is a dislike button. If you feel that a post violates the rules of the forums, feel free to flag it.

That's for crybabies and actual rules being broken. I'm talking about a properly representative social status system, and the more I see a lack of dislike button the more I think Facebook.

I don't support a dislike button on the forums themselves as a whole, I think that it would just lead to flames and trolls.

However, what I WOULD support would be a "Supported" and a "Not Supported" button for the OP in every "Features and Ideas Discussion" and "Assembly Hall" thread. That would show a better representation of the community support, and it would reduce forum clutter with people saying "+1" or "-1" in each post.
