Just a wild idea, will it be possible to duplicate like \<3 functionality and add it as for example dislike for posts?

You can already do that with a plugin. There’s plenty of handy hooks available to add everything you need to support this feature.

If you’re looking for something that can vote a post up and down with _thumbs up_ and _thumbs down_ types of tags, my personal opinion is that the _dislike_ or _thumbdown_ button is not needed. You can already filter topics by number of likes and number of posts.

In the main screen, you can select view by _Posts_, _Likes_, _Views_, and _Activity_ date. This would basically give the same functionality seeing which topic is the most interesting, I do see that it won’t flag the most controversial topics. Though, I imagine that the controversial topics would have a lot of posts in them.

If you just want to express your opinion in a post. There is great support for emojis.

There are a ton more [here](http://www.emoji-cheat-sheet.com/).

If you’re looking for a thumbdown button, I’m curious to hear what type of behavior you think it will foster.

I have aways been against any type of “negative vote” kind of thing.

Not that being called out for being wrong is a bad thing, nor is constructive criticism on how something “right” could be improved upon. But a simple Down without further explanation seems pointless and likely detrimental.

It’s enough of a concern that even Likes could be gamed to falsely “elevate”, but I can see where it could be useful for building a Community.

Having a Dislike could be gamed to falsely “demote” and IMHO would be destructive to a Community feel.

I would rather have a community that supports each other than one that bashes each other.

eg, I’m a newbie and find that all my new posts are being Downed. I don’t feel welcome that’s for certain.  
I’m a newbie and all my new posts seem to be getting ignored. I may not feel very welcomed, but I can live with it.
