In the Bimini thread when @Bruce and @Rana got 2 flat tires they got a thumbs down rating...which is understandable.....that sucked. But that rating has Negative connotations although it is only "Dislike", and doesn't take away from your post rating score (it scores a neutral rating-not positive or negative).

But we could come up with a more indicative post rating option like "Bummer".....

If people like the idea...what would the icon look like?
 
I like the idea. I believe I have seen the optomistic rating used where a bummer rating may have more more what the rater intended if it was available.
 
Good idea. I've also seen the 'Like' posting used for something negative which does not make sense either. I am sure the intent was to like the posting but not the message or what actually happened.

Some sort of a frown would make sense.
 
:banghead:
 
I like the idea......my submittal

Can't we have some pizza on our time Mr Hand??
 
Thanks @Julian and @Bruce for keeping this site up to date. I love the "bummer dude" it never made sense to me whether it was better to "like" or "dislike" things that went wrong for guys. Now the "bummer dude" guy shows a bit of compassion and almost a pat on the back of support to our "downed" member. ;)
