RE: The Flag, The Down Vote... my semi-frequent update to this idea... hopefully those in favor of the downvote read it
I feel that a negative vote is needed. The only current place for negative energy to go is into the flag. And those have lots of negatives with it.
So, when someone is upset with the content, but not really wanting to put it into words, a down vote would be good. A place to blow off the steam.
I feel the best implementation would be to have a + count and a - count, as two separate number.
I also feel that I am shooting myself in the foot here. As much that I want to write about is usually gets knee jerk responses of it needs to be peer reviewed.... or some such.
You can put your feelings into a comment as well. Again, like I said... when you walk anywhere else that has earnings based upon literature, music, movies, etc what do you do? I believe you go pick up something you are interested in and walk to the counter and leave with that. You probably don't stop to pull out a big red marker and draw big check marks all over the Richard Simmons work out video. :)
If you really want to express dislike. You can try to do so reasonably in comments, without taking away someone elses interest.
That would be a good social experiment to conduct! Then we can report on it here and see what lessons we have learned!
I don't tend to put myself in situations where I'll get attacked or thrown in jail. Or possibly attacked and then thrown into jail.
