    One thing I'm noticing especially on the last days is people using the LOL button when someone gives an opinion who is different than everyone else, or in the intention of being sarcastic. Worse, when someone talking about health problems. So I'm creating this thread to suggest an Disagree option or idk. Or stop using this just because someone doesnt have the same opinion about the game as you.

      Then people would just automatically disagree with people who they don't like.

      At least with "LOL" there is some form of interpretation which can really have a positive effect in a hostile situation.

      Also the LOL gives forum points and badges. :)

      Well, I mean, I kind of like the 'disagree lol' , it sounds less harsh and you can still think of it as; okay those people don't agree with me but it's not a big deal. If an actual disagree button would be here everyone would explode, honestly, most people can't even handle that button because if you have an opinion that button will be used non-stop. So trust me, you don't want that button.

      Wow if the LOL button is really being misused this badly then maybe it should just be taken away, which is a shame, but if its upsetting people enough for there to be multiple topics about it then it might be for the best. =(

      There aren't a lot of people who dislike the lol button, it's just a form of expressing yourself thinking "ooh that's a weird opinion, let me lol it", it's not that harsh as in dislike, since a lot of people would feel either angry or sad that their opinion is being disliked so much, i'd rather have a discussion with people about these topics than to silently dislike it tbh! ^^

      I really don't mind people do that. I think people use it to give vent to their frustration that others have different opinions and I think laughing off a frustration is more healthy for a person than becoming agressive or negative about it.

      Honestly, if the forum moderators find that the forum community cannot behave maturely, then they have the power to take away our privileges. At the end of the day, this isn't our website.

      If we want a disagree button or want to keep the LOL button or whatever, we need to show that we can handle it without everything burning to the ground. And sadly, I don't think the forum as it is now can handle any of it.

      What would be interesting is if the usernames of those who click these buttons were visible. Maybe that would discourage trolling? Just throwing that out there.

      @shadowcat85 Wait really? Oh wow. It must have been really awful here, then. I've heard stories of it, but I took a long break from the forum in between TS3 and some of TS4's progress, so I never had to see it.

      It was bad and still is. Be glad you missed a lot of the worst of it.

      But then wouldn't people get called out? Surely that would be worse than incognito LOLing because it would start fights. =/
