    Not bothered by it at all. If it gets the go ahead, I’m not going to get all upset and create my own forum like some do.

    But if folk such as you keep responding to me and either ask a question or accuse me of something, I’m going to respond aren’t I? Isn’t that how this thing works?

    I’ll tell you what, I’ve given my opinion. If nobody responds to me, I won’t make another comment. Can’t say fairer than that

    No you don’t. You just need one MP to bring it up in Parliament most government policy is introduced without any poll.

    Can you list me all the members who voted for ratings and whether they are members of the votes arse forum please?

    Just so I can prove you're talking absolute nonsense of course.

    And if the ratings and emoji option were there people could make their feelings known without having to reply

    Have you been elected to serve on my behalf, like an MP has? Nothing like the example you gave

    You brought the example up saying you needed a significant poll and support before having something brought up and discussed and voted on. I just pointed out that that isn’t correct. You just need a single MP to agree to do it, doesn’t even have to be your MP.

    Are you being pedantic for the sake of it?
    I’ve already said I agree with the introduction of more ratings. I’m not disagreeing with their introduction.

    I have made it clear that it’s the emojis that I think adds no value. You have agreed, that ‘ratings’ will do the job just as well. So why the argument?

    Is there a new forum called votes arse, or is that just what autocorrect turns cows arse into currently?

    Ratings will do the job. We could have agree, disagree, hats off, funny, poo. One for each emoji

    Well @BoingBoing@BoingBoing?

    Is this being conveniently ignored or did you genuinely miss it?

    If it is aimed at me, I did write Cows Arse and checked it. So I’m not sure what or who wrote votes Arse?

    Sorry maybe you’re having a conversation with someone else?

    Yet if there were ratings there'd have been a lot less of the "childish arguments" for you to read as many people would have simply responded with a quick agree or disagree.

    Not needed 'in your opinion'. Clearly other posters would like to see it introduced, as proven in the vote.

    Also, with the added option to disable ratings for those that prefer not to use them I really can't see the downside.

    The argument of "it's fine as it is" also doesn't stand up. The site is constantly looking to improve user experience and has changed plenty since its introduction over a year ago. The latest change being only today with the introduction of the prediction league badges.
