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.
