Why are there no negative ratings on the DT board?

[Ntwadumela]

I've just noticed this now and it got me wondering.
Have people become overly sensitive that the very thought of getting a "Dumb", "Autistic" or "Off-Topic" rating gives them PTSD?

They apparently were disabled due to people "revenge rating" each other. I'd say rather than pamper the kiddies who can't handle dissenting opinions in a civilized matter we should halal the fuck out of them, but that's just me. Being passive aggressive via ratings is retarded, and the only thing more retarded than that are people who let it get to them.

I think it's because it just sort of encouraged people to start shitting up threads with passive aggressive ratings instead of actually challenging opinions directly, which last time I checked is one of the central reasons 'Deep Thoughts' even exists.

I can understand why the "negative" ratings are taken off, but why not keep the neutral ones?

I do love my optimistic and autistic ratings. Those don't give negative ratings so please let us use those.

It think it's because people were largely using 'optimistic' ratings sarcastically, going back to the whole passive aggression thing.

Isn't the Optimistic rating used when you believe someone has wishful thinking and needs to come back to reality?

DT should only have negative ratings because there's nothing positive about posting in there.

Yeah but it was just a neutral one like autistic. So far as I know neutral ratings have zero impact.

Wait, they're also disabled for Events and News REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
@Null please don't ruin the fun for everyone because of a few speds.

Passive aggressive rating bullshit conamed that board.

Maybe to some people. For me it was usually just someone being well, optimistic about something.

Y'know like for example, "I think they will do a good job with the upcoming Star Wars movie." More of a positive thing than anything else, but tbh we're kinda overthinking dumb meaningless stickers at this point.

I do agree the dumb rating spam was getting out of hand, but can't we at least have the neutral ones, please?

Disagree and dislike are both neutral.

They're used sarcastically. Everyone's going to play and be straight faced or you're going in the ovens.

wishful thinking

To me it's flexible. It can be used for sarcastic optimism, wishful thinking, and genuine optimism.

Yeah, same here. I've seen it used in all contexts, but negative contexts seem to be the predominant one.

So can Islamic Content even though it's a negrate. It can be a way of complimenting a really good/bad shitpost.
