I don't think a dislike button is a good idea. I think most people already comment knowing there are some who don't like it or agree with comments. It's inevitable. And a counter on that doesn't really contribute to a conversation.
 
If it makes anyone feel any better, you're more than welcome to submit "thumbs down" 👎 to me via donating Bells! 🪙 You can say whatever you want on there and it's all done under the table! 🤫 While I very much welcome negative feedback, I do agree that such reactions would cause trouble on here. Best you can do is blast people in the face with these puppies. 😈🎉🎉🎉
 
I really hope we don't get a dislike reaction, I don't understand why it's necessary, if someone doesn't like someone's post then why don't you just ignore and not react to it? I didn't know people are obligated to have a opinion on everything and feel like they always need to insert their [negative]opinions on others trying to mind their own business? I don't understand why it's necessary to imply malice on people's posts and create a negative environment on the forums when this is like the most wholesome place on the internet and I don't want that taken away.
I can't ever see myself using the dislike reaction and I can't ever see myself using that party popper reaction either but whatever and I personally would be very upset if people used it on my posts and especially like .: Meri :. said it would be very sad seeing people use it on TBT member's artwork and images of their island and other creative posts.
 
I disagree with people who want a dislike reaction, though a better ignore system could be useful. I get that a dislike button could be a simple way to show disagreement, disapproval, etc., but I feel like it could get abused. It's easy to say we want a dislike button when we consider that there are opinions, responses, comments, etc. that we may disagree with or otherwise to not like, but I think it's important to take certain things into consideration, like how it could get abused, and having your posts get disliked for reasons outside of simple disagreements.
This is probably gonna be invalid to most people, but I am extremely sensitive and an overthinker. I am fine with people respectfully disagreeing with me, but I certainly wouldn't appreciate the vast majority of my posts on here getting disliked.
 
I used to love math until I got to fifth grade. Ever since then, it’s been easy for me and I can usually understand everything we’re doing, but it’s not fun anymore (wow, I really am a nerd I used to think math was fun. I’m still a nerd though). I think that now, the best subject is… uh… lunch probably biology.
 
So Gnawties aren’t part of the Kremling Krew in Donkey Kong Country, but the Goombas are part of the Koopa Troop.

Oh, by the way, K. Rool is very abusive towards his army, while Bowser shows his army a lot of respect. This is what makes the Koopa Troop more dangerous than the Kremling Krew.
 
Currently appreciating the fact that my room is warmer than the living room.

My opinion will change in a month or so, but I still like it for now.
 
I listened to Chop Suey! with my earbuds, and holy CRAP I could not believe how clear and crisp the beginning line sounded. Some other lines like "Wake up" and "I don't think you trust in my..." were about the same. Also, the 'twang' (or pick-ups) on the electric guitar was a lot more noticeable. It literally blew my mind with how high-quality it sounded.

I think it's maybe the computer, since my dad made sure the sound system was good while he was setting it up. The music didn't sound the same at all with the headphones though, so it's weird to say my dinky little earbuds did the trick. XD I might listen to some other songs to test out the quality.

Edit: Come to think of it, having anything in your ear that's blasting music would probably make any song sound clearer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyway, I'm listening to Aerials, and the vocals are a lot more prominent. Cue Suite-Pee and the guitar and bass sound a lot more intense. This is just... Wow.

So yeah TBT, where's that dislike button and complete ignore feature?? Where is it??? 🤔

The dislike button was mostly a joke to be honest. I HATE sites that implement this and if TBT implemented it, I would most likely leave.

The complete ignore feature, however, I'm completely serious about. I really don't think the current ignore feature is good enough because, like Alolan_Apples mentioned, people can still read and see your posts that you ignore, plus it doesn't completely remove everything on your end, either.

Posting for clarity's sake.

Sorry it was a misunderstanding, that makes more sense now.

As to back up my claims on why the ignore feature should be a total separation between the sender and recipient, it’s not just to hide someones’ posts if you don’t want to read from them. It’s to stop them from communicating with you completely. The current ignore feature is basically saying “let’s pretend that the user doesn’t exist”. Except I don’t pretend stuff to differ from reality. It’s impossible. How can you pretend that a troll doesn’t exist if he keeps criticizing you when you want him to stop? You can add the troll to your ignore list, but that’s not going to stop him from criticizing you. You just won’t read his posts unless if you prompt to see his posts. If you’re being criticized for having different opinions, sexually harassed, or bullied in general, a complete separation is the only way to stop the offending user. That way, you won’t see their posts, they won’t see your posts, they will have a much harder time sending you messages, and you won’t be able to message them either. The only time they can read your posts is while they’re logged out.

Right now, nobody on this site deserves to be on my ignore list. I may not be on good terms with some members, but even I don’t want to hide their posts from my view. If I want to block certain members from posting on my profile, I can change it to “people I follow” only and follow everyone else.

As for hiding threads individually, it’s a good way to clear away controversial threads and threads that have been bumped from like six years ago or longer without the need to report the thread or block the user. While everyone else who wants to post there can post.

Yeah, I don’t always catch on to jokes very well, so I appreciate the clarity. I definitely agree with you about having a more customizable ignore feature though. :)
 
I asked two of my friends if they’d rather be a Jedi or a Sith, and they both said Sith. I get that they’re powerful, but is being powerful worth being fueled by hatred and having no regard for life? I would be a Jedi. I know some Sith aren’t like that, but they said they’d specifically be the evil kind of Sith. Maybe it’s just that I’m the only one with a sense of morality… (not that much of an exaggeration)
 
My mom can be such a crank sometimes. It's like, take a chill pill, will ya? Yeesh!

Actually, no, I think the best class has to be band. Especially since that annoying prick that made the class unbearable was suspended (hopefully for the rest of the year).
 
I just use the ignore feature as a reminder that I tend to upset x user often so don't interact with them directly for a while or we think very differently so don't interact much. We interpret things differently. So I just use the ignore feature as a way to help give space. I still read comments made by them.
A block would give a two way total censor, but that may encourage someone to make another account to see whatever, which more than one account is something the staff doesn't like.

I'd heavily discourage people from trying to get around blocks/find out exactly who is blocking you*, because I don't think it's a terribly healthy thing to do for oneself—not to mention disrespectful of the blocker's boundaries, and makes them even less likely to change their view of you—but if it's just to view posts, logging out would have the same effect and be a lot more convenient.
Of course, if they're actively trying to block evade and contact the person who'd blocked them, then we'd have the potential issue of users creating multiple accounts as you mentioned. Most sites that have total blocks also have strict rules against block evasion, which could be something staff could implement as an extra deterrent against multiple accounts if they added a full block feature.

*using the general you here ofc!
