Thumbs down on TSR

So i've been away from TSR for a while and i was just wondering, what happened to the Thumbs down system on TSR?
Why did they remove such an important feature?

I'm guessing that the butthurt, easily offended whining losers had a part to play.
there was a nasty incident

No, you didn't arrive til months later actually :fyi:

And I thought you were leaving:mmm:
TSR community staff believe that 'negativity' is bad and unacceptable (and not just a part of normal human discourse, critique and expression) and so removed it to spare the feelings of poor dears who couldn't cope with being negged.

Basically, they're away with the fairies when it comes to managing social behaviour and expectations.

Trolls took advantage of the system and unlawfully negged posters for the sake of it, from what I can remember!

They aren't trolls man. They were people who made day to day life funny on this forum. Back then this was just about people feeling depressed and talking about their sad feelings. The negged people would come up and post a funny comment and make another reader happy. Those were the days!
