Not Allowed To Dislike

The very first paragraph of the Guidelines says "When in doubt, follow the Golden Rule!". If you don't know what "The Golden Rule" is, then that very phrase links to the Wikipedia article explaining that it is variously expressed as Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Now, nobody likes to be hurt, so it follows that we should not hurt others (by 'disliking' or any other positive action designed to hurt others). 'Moving on', 'not liking' and otherwise ignoring a discussion and even responding to a discussion with information which disagrees with it or is clearly designed to correct rather than to abuse anyone is therefore allowed. If someone feels 'hurt' by such action (or inaction), they may appeal to the Moderator, @GoAskAlice, to arbitrate but it is very likely to be their own over-sensitivity or misunderstanding of the advice which is at fault, not the other person's insensitivity or intended abuse. So, YES. We are NOT allowed to hurt each other here but that does not mean that people may not be hurt.

It's fine to like and leave if not like.

I like the positiveness of liking a discussion and leaving a comment with substance wherein other members of mylot may learn from.

@else34 Already the ''block'' feature is being misused by some.We do not want a'' dislike '' feature added.

You shouldn't intentionally hurt anyone either on here or in real life. However, on here we are allowed to express our opinion even if it differs from the poster's, but we should do it in a polite manner.

The problem with dislikes is that some people use them to hurt another writer who may have made them upset. i once had it happen on another site the person wrote a post and i didn't like it. I felt that they really wrote a poorly written post. It was a hateful post one that would insite a problem with others and not only that the idiot filled it with no real punctuation it was like this.... You know what I mean... It pissed me off...this is just an attempt to cheat the system when you have nothing to say....and you would have disliked it too. I explained why I disliked it and the person got mad and disliked a ridiculous number of my posts. Which irked me because they did it to be spiteful.I told them thanks for boosting my earnings with all the dislikes.

Unfortunately I don't have enough faith in the human nature of some to believe a dislike button would not be grossly over-used, for the wrong reasons. It serves no purpose at all and would encourage 'naughtiness' and straight out maliciousness

yeah the whole point is be nice, but I dont think anyone takes a lack of a like personally, people use that function differently

Why would you want to hurt someone. Doing so on purpose shows a lack of sensitivity on the part of the person commenting. People should always strive to be nice in the comments they leave.
