-Bigchungus- Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) As for now the only way to show that we disagree in emotes is the "funny" emote which can be confusing, we need a "Disagree emote" And no I don't mean some reddit style of disagree where if you disagree the post will get buried and people won't be able to see it, just an emote with no effect other than appearing.

nslay Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) That's what the Haha emote is for. Everyone is laughing at you! EDIT: Blizzard has been removing the downvote feature as they upgrade their forums. I'm not opposed to a downvote feature, but it does seem to make, for example, the D3 forum feel more toxic. But that's probably because most D3 players are naturally toxic. I was really surprised by this community! But anyway, that's probably why they have a Haha emote instead... can't be hurting people's feelings and all these days.

(PSN)i7081277 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 This would be great. It would save a lot of people from getting attacked by the op. or getting banned by expressing their opinions with words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Double991 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Each system has it's flaws either way. With down votes, it just takes a salty person to down vote every post you make or have made. The Reddit system is basically censorship and mob rule. The current system allows some people to inflate their reputation through their controversial posts with "woah"s and "haha"s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phatose Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 We're better off without one. Completely anonymous negative feedback with no given rationale doesn't help a discussion. If you want to disagree with someone, use words, explain how and why you disagree since that how conversations work. Makes the forum far more likely to be useful for actual discussions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their argument or suggestion is laughably ridiculous that warrants a downvote but since it doesn't exist so "Haha" would do, because it makes sense to laugh at someone's ideas.

But it could mean differently. Let's just say, you hate the new melee nullifiers and made a serious complaint post about it, and there's "Haha" on it, because it's a "Joke" post. They find your inability to deal with nullifiers a joke. Edited June 5, 2019 by Vortuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birkenhoff Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Why would this forum need this? If you think your disagreement is mentionable and the world should know it you can just leave a post. If you think you're superior you can even start you post with "Nope, my dear friend..." as the equivalent to a super dislike button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtHotPepper Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) Dont think this gonna happen. Because lot of game forums that i used supress existing desagree/downvote reactions. Simply because this can be a way to bully new players or just to troll. I remember a old Wargaming forum user nicked GrumpyCat that try to push the system and collect more that 1000 downvotes. Forum members have fun of this but the moderators weren't very happy... Even if the community of Warframe in far less toxic probably DE dont want take risk. Personnally sometimes im a little nostalgic of the time then the politically correct let you throw at someone face that you dont agree without explanations.😁 Révélation Edited June 5, 2019 by SgtHotPepper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanings change and evolve over time. If people are using the haha emote as in a laughing at you/your post a lot, then that's what it wil mean in common use. It's also contextual. Things can have multiple meanings. Basically language doesn't care that cool means cold, sometimes bad means good, it's all in how it's actually in use that matters.

hellodownthere Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 if you disagree then you should say why, provide constructive criticism. when there's an option to just say i disagree without saying why wont make conversation occur imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
