    The 'Like' is just fine for me. Once you start with 'dislike' or 'poop' then it starts to bring out the worst in people and only leads to tit-for-tat retaliation. Leave it as it is imo.

    They should bring back all of the ratings. Apart from a select few precious types, I believe the majority thought that they enhanced the forum.

    Like, Agree. Thanks. Funny. Disagree. only.

    Poops, Dumbs, Dislikes and Olds etc just promote more hate.

    There’s also a lot of inane, pointless waffle, that could be replaced by a green tick, or a Red Cross.

    It’s not just that, T...Without ratings, we often seem to get these threads, where posters like Cougar and Bronco, feel like they have to post a reply to everyone they disagree with, resulting in multiple posts tediously labouring the same point over and over, it doesn’t encourage debate, it stifles it...And the point needs making again, if someone can’t handle an emoji, then they really shouldn’t be on social media.

    It was legendary. The tears caused by a cartoon emoji of poo could have turned the Sahara into lake Windemere!

    Can't see the point of a poll one has already been added, I'm with @Dennis@Dennis on this its working fine posters have to reply rather than just leaving a negative emoji.

    A dislike button would be the only extra rating I would like.

    Some people need to know they’re talking shit.

    Most people don’t want to get into a never ending debate with Bronco, Cougars or Park about some inconsequential rubbish. Just a click of a rating and move on, and if you feel strongly about the subject, give a reply....The encouraging debate argument is a load of rubbish, some posters just don’t like to be told they are wrong.

    I get it now, you just wouldn’t be able to trust yourself...Didn’t you once get your ratings disabled, after you went on a poop frenzy, once you’d come back from a “permanent” ban?

    The question you should have asked is why fully grown men get so upset over a little cartoon picture of poo.

    What time thread shows is that it isn't the ratings which cause arguments, some will just argue regardless.

    I did try sort some basic emojis but they broke the forum due to the coding we are using

    It may be possible to re code but the cost was not cheap and not guaranteed to work

    Before long we will need to move to xenforo 2 as it becomes more stable and xenforo 1 will stop being supported

    We may look into some basic emojis then and give it a trial run
