Well it seems there are a few trolls still about in this community who make it a habit to thumb down an otherwise decent post without the courtesy to viewpoint their decision.
I think it's all cool if you give a thumbs down but at the very least, have the courage to your convictions and tell the person posting why the thumbs down. It may help to revise their own views on the matter. It may even open up a dialog about the post and that can lead to some useful discussions.
Maybe BoonEx should add a way for the downers to be listed. It would detract from the drive-by trolls who just thumb down because they have nothing better to do.
What say ye?
Below is the legacy version of the Boonex site, maintained for Dolphin.Pro 7.x support.
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.

i for one know that people target me because i piss off a few people. i dont care about that, what does bother me is that they go on to thumb down anyone that supports me in the thread.
what makes me laugh though is even though i have had 100's of thumbs down, i have had so many thumbs up that i have the 2nd most highest member point on the site. see more
I agree. I noticed that and it is one of the things that initiated this blog post. You seem to be targetted quite a bit. But rest assured you have been a great contributor to the community. So cheers to you!
Anonymity is both the bane and benefit of the Internet. Unfortunately, some would use it to cloak their misdeeds and that is what keeps everyone from getting even more benefit. A fairly Utopian statement, but alas we all need a goal to work towards.
Anyway, I think it would really see more
$1 per thumb up, now that would be very cool. Unfortunately such is not the case.
What I was trying to say was that if you are going to give a thumbs down or up, it would be great to give a short comment.
You know, get some banter going etc. This is how people can learn and the discussions can spawn to new directions and so forth.
Consider too that the thumbs up/down can serve as an indication to the blog post's rating or worthiness.
...sip...
I think the comments and concerns you've shared with BoonEx (along with those on the site) have impacted the way BoonEx has approached its next steps and future planning.
It may not be happening fast enough (it never does I guess) but I do get the sense that BoonEx is moving in the right direction.
I am really looking forward to the next 6-8 months. It is going to be exciting as the Web is buzzing like crazy with so many innovations that would be applicable to Dolphin 7 and anyone see more
It's the only way we're going to move forward and a community.
Good stuff everyone...
I think posting names will only serve to cause arguments.
I think the system is good - it depends on how you use it - most support sites offer some kind of 'did you find this answer useful' type scoring - in this type of scenario is is good. But see more
I happen to think that if you are going to give a thumbs down, it would be helpful to voice what it was that didn't make sense in the post. However, I understand that sometimes one may not have time or just can't put in the effort and that's fine too I guess.
Ofcourse, if it's a personal issue and they are giving the post because they don't happen to see more
vote on. i think its kewl even if i get a thumbs down, because this is how i feel about it. i have occupied space in that persons head RENT FREE, and that just tickles me.

Or how about a rating as per what houstonlively said?
What say ye?
