Hand gestures is another form of non verbal communication, and sometimes if it's used in a deliberate wrongful way there could be serious consequences.
So how can we trust and what if that every poster on this forum is not using these hand gestures responsibly?
Some believe that these hand gestures are used on social media sites such as this forum, they are basically supposed to be meant to mean that you agree or don't agree with a post, and supposedly there should be no ambiguity about that.
What i've learned during my time on this forum is that those people who say and believe that the thumbs down icon is only used to mean that they don't agree with a post are either ignorant or are the deniers of this problem, this icon has much much more meanings than what is believed by some.
And when we feel strongly about a topic such as this one, and talk about on this forum, guess what? There will always be 1 or more people who will get upset along the way, but i will not hold a grudge with anyone and my intention is to not upset anyone and i'm sorry if i have,
But the sayings and doings of the deniers of this problem does not matter one bit anymore, what matters now is that the administrator has identified this as a serious problem, and i should also add that i do recall others and @willow did also mention his concerns about this problem too.
To those who say that the thumbs down icon was only used to mean **"i don't agree".**
The Emperor has this to say to you.

How do you manage when you're confronted with actual real-life problems?
What are you talking about?
You can't just make statements like this and then not bother to elaborate, I can't read your mind,
What's your point and thoughts about my post?
On a scale of 1 to 10, where
10 is the loss of a loved one, and
1 is some spilt milk that had to be wiped up
I would have thought a thumbs down by a stranger on the internet, who you will never meet, and whose opinions will have no bearing on your life, is a 0.
Actually, it means that you have 0 (zero) understanding of this problem,
And it also means that you have zero respect for the person who realised that this is a serious problem and created this thread.
a thumbs up and a thumbs down is a serious problem? like seriously?
I have a different take on it. If I post a post with something controversial or provocative, I expect some downvotes. If I say something completely contrary to the group think like "Luke Brooks had a good game today", I expect a downvote. Its when I post something completely factual, uncontroversial like "water is wet" or "dropped balls really cost us today" and I get 2 or three downvotes, then you know its completely personal and the purpose of the downvotes is strictly to send a message of "you are an (insert your prefered expletive) and I dont like you"> Now I still dont get too emotional about that but I think it adds to a negative vibe in the forum.
