Suggestion Reconsider and remove the "disagree (red thumb down)" flag

[rx7diver]

Today I am seeing the red thumb down ("disagree") flag for the first time. This must be a new feature.

I see a couple of problems with this feature: First, in the past, I (and others?) have used the blue thumb up ("agree") flag not only when I have agreed with a particular post (of course), but also to acknowledge that I have read a post, and I have found it helpful, even if I do NOT completely agree with it. I think that introducing the red thumb down ("disagree") flag is forcing a dichotomy that has the potential of being divisive and just might squelch the productive exchanges between members participating in a given SB thread--which is a second, but related, reason I think the red thumb down ("disagree") flag should be discontinued.

I recommend discontinuing this new (?) red thumb down ("disagree") flag feature.

Respectfully,

In my mind, this is more appropriate here:

Pretty little bunny.

I'm not seeing the controversial red "thumbs down" icon, just the "disagree smiley". I've cleared cache, and logged out and back in....

"sad" is there....

In my mind, this is more appropriate here:

The OK sign is more like saying "fine" than "Thanks" to me. OK is more like an acknowledgement that I read your comment than "I find it useful".

It is strange that some browsers/devices display the added "Saddness" icon but still shows the old "Disagree" icon. I normally use the Google Chrome browser and displays Reactions correctly on my desktop, laptop, and iPhone. I just tested Microsoft Edge, which is displaying the Sadness icon and old Disagree icon, even when logging out of ScubaBoard and back in.

Just checked using Chrome. I still see the sad face on Chrome. I see the red thumbs down on Edge.
