RE: Steemit Feature Request: We need to have a "Dislike" button separate from "Flags" for better online interactions (According to Game design Wisdom)
Having a down vote tab that takes money away from someone making a comment will still leave this site with mostly kiss butt comments. To have a viable open discussion of reverse opinions/engagement has to come without the threat of losing money. The flagging system should only be used for abuse that deserves it but upvoting and downvoting should be used to encourage the free flow of conversation without monetary punishment.
Most kiss butt comments are just spam anyways. Those are mostly ignored or flagged. Personally I slightly favor the 3rd option I suggested. you seem to prefer the 1st option where "Dislike" has zero financial effect. I think the community should come to a consensus on which version to implement. Either way it would make the experience on the platform much better.
Thanks for the comments.
