Why would this be useful? Really? Unless someone is so arrogant that they need to make sure people dislike a post that they don't like.

Why not have it where the user can decide what rank threads should be ignored by.

For example:

Ignore threads/posts if 10 Full Members, Members, Hero Members, etc rate the thread/post negative.

What a smart fucking idea. That definitely would NEVER be abused. Silly ol' me.

Assuming the above is sarcasm, It CANNOT be abused. You misunderstood.

The topic was about a Downvote/Dislike button. What I was suggesting was the following.

A personal option on each members dashboard where they can set a discretionary option for which member group dislikes come into action.
This is not for the thread owner to decide, and it will not affect any other users.

For example.
Only ignore threads/posts if 10 Full members rate the thread/post negative. (underline being changeable)
They can choose any member group or turn the feature off as this is a local feature.
High ranking members tend to be more trustworthy due to risk of losing their profile. However, if corruption entails, It would be an optional feature set off by default.

I like this idea. We were just looking at slashdot and their implementation of this. Again the metrics that we'll be using may change soon since we want to give maximum flexibility.
