Random but needs to be addressed

Not that it's a big deal, tbh I could rather careless but why is there a like/dislike button on this site? What am I on Facebook? The reason I bring it up is because the last post I posted acouple hours ago got dislikes on comments I said and I didn't say anything rude or bad for me to get disliked. Now I'm not trying to sit here and rant on this but atleast give the person a decent explanation why you disliked there comment, this part of the site is for people to ask questions or start topics and get feedback not just by disliking comments just because you don't agree or like that person. If you disagree then write a message on the post explaining yourself on why you highly disagree on said post or topic. It's very annoying when someone dislikes your comment then gives no explanation why and I'm not the only one who feels this way I hope.

I find it useful to figure out which are the good comments so I can quickly scan through a question. I would also appreciate explanation when someone votes down your comment.

I think the like/dislike is a good idea. It's a quick way to give your opinion without having to type

If people dislike what you say, they dislike it. Respectful or not, having pokemon only spawn at pokestops is a stupid idea, so I will downvote that comment. Not everyone in this world will always agree with you, get used to it.

That's pretty harsh seeing as I've never had a problem with you in any of these post before and never said anything you came up with was stupid so clearly you seem to dislike me for whatever reason but thanks for replying and clearing up your one of the people that disliked my comment on my other post.

How can he dislike you? He has no idea who you are. He dislikes your comment/post. Thats a completely different story.

As I said before - no offense - but your posts are kinda full of insecurity. Your posts - not you. Therefore people might dislike your posts, not you :)

Maybe in rl you are a rambo :)

*Edit: Dont get butthurt about someone saying your post is stupid/dumb. Be happy about people saying what they think

I mean your right for the most part maybe I am being abit insecure on this whole situation and should be happy That the people that have commented are giving me there real opinions just the way he wrote that though compared to the other comments seems he was trying to come at me from a different angle but maybe I just looked at it the wrong way.

Actually I wasn't one of the people that disliked your post, I just looked back to see what post you were referring to. Tho I disagree with your opinion, I didnt vote one way or another, but it is obvious why you would receive downvotes, that being that it is not a popular opinion.

I am being harsh because you are being overly sensative, to the point of creating an entire post about it. A downvote doesnt mean people dont like you, it means they disagree. When I say I think Forrettress is a better option than Scizor, I expect to get downvoted because people dont agree. It would be nice if people explained it, but you cant take it as an attack.

Being harsh to someone who is 'overly sensitive' is really backwards imo, if you don't have the patience to react like you would want someone to react to you, you might as well not reply because you are only making matters worse and not you are not adding anything to the conversation, besides you only waste your own time doing so

Understandable, sorry I took your last comment out of context.

Thank you for replying back.

Having multiple likes or dislikes is a way to quickly get to the meat (or the best joke) in a thread. If it is a question or comment that you are interested in, you can often scroll to the one with most likes and it is generally reliable information based on the experience of users on this site. Similarly, it will usually have a reply that confirms the accuracy with experiential evidence to follow (this ^). The one with the most dislikes is usually one of the following: poor advice that is generally not valid as examined by experienced members, rude commentary, someone promoting 3rd party apps/spoofing, or a humble bragging d-bag posting a pic of his 12 Blisseys asking which one to power up.

1.) I don't post pics on this site
2.) I don't spoof or use a 3rd party app
3.) I don't do commentary if there is even a way to do that in PoGo
The only one I think fits in my category is the poor advice one but honestly I never have given bad advice for the most part maybe a theory here or there but never said it's 100% confirmed and mainly post a question or my opinions and ideas that I believe could be in the game. Do I have the best experience? No, I'm learning just like everyone else so either I'm missing something here or I'm getting disliked for posting my opinions.

Yeah don't take it personal :) the guy above just mentioned why he thinks comments in general get dislikes, he wasn't saying you did any of that, some times people are just in a bad mood so they dislike faster :) others just don't want to type for whatever reason :p

I thumbs up or down a comment mainly if it is a good or bad answer to the question. If the answer is wrong and hasn't been corrected yet, then I will usually also respond not to that particular post but with the answer to the thread itself. I respond to a post only if I am directly adding to or contradicting something in that post instead of the starting thread topic.

I'm not targeting any particular names. I normally barely even look at names unless it is someone spamming several inane posts, like the user a while ago that was using this site to basically blog essays about the top 19 pokemon. In that case, I am only looking at names to not go to those threads.
... actually I have so tuned that user out, that I didn't even see that there was a post right above this one. ;-)

Thank you for replying. That's more understandable then people that just dislike with no feedback. I just wish people saw it from that perspective and could use this forum/site in that manner.
