Not sure of the logic , how can you 'Dislike' a question...I am not quite sure of the intended purpose of the diode. Please explain?
What a complete over reaction!! The system is what it is, a bit of fun. It shouldnt be taken seriously and this is a hobby forum not an engineering forum. Lighten up not every post has to be serious, this is exactly why we have the lounge!! The forum was serious for a while and numbers dropped, people voted with there feet. Slowly people are returning and while you may not like the way things are it is working in bringing people back. The worst thing a hobby forum can do is take itself too seriously, you have to have a friendly feel and face to attract hobbyist, I often think this is part of the problem though, you dislike the hobby thing and want it ENGINEER stuffy. It failed miserably as a simple question and answer NEXT type forum, it seems to be going back to its roots and gaining some ground again. I dont like or dislike the buttons, it amuses me how people take it seriously but other than that I dont have an opinion one way or other, people certainly dont need a system to work out who to listen too. That kind of thing is far more instinctive than you give credit for, I find it interesting you have carefully placed a criticism of a rating you were given. For someone who dosnt take it seriously you certainly seem to care a bit too much about it.JimB
On a related subject, we have an award of "Most Helpful Member". The only button that comes close to that is "Thanks". How can one equate a "Like" with help (excepting of course lonely neurotic people)? Five minutes in the Members Lounge will show that many, probably the majority of Likes are for OT comments and silliness. They have nothing to do with helping on an electronic question.
While the theory that the buttons serve to reduce clutter may make sense to some, I think the evidence argues the other way. Just count the one-liners to catch attention and a like. Maybe the forum name should be changed to Electro-Twit-Online?
Moreover, there is the potential for adverse effects. Look at the discussion a week or so ago started by someone who got a "Dislike." There are also members whose posts I always read, but they have very few likes, apparently because they infrequently visit the Lounge. Some of them are much more active on other forums that don't have the vivid reputation system that ETO has. The dislikes I got in the past 24 hours for asking an simple question are another example. What exactly is wrong with asking someone who recommends a solution that applies to an exceptional circumstances when the question was generic? Maybe he saw a reason the exception applied. In any case, opening the door to dislikes for what someone may consider too obvious is a bad precedent. That is certainly what goes on in academic environments and is an accepted practice for intellectual inquiry.
ETO is struggling to improve its content, not just post numbers, and has been for sometime now. I think the moderators should consider both sides of the current reputation system with an eye to whether the presumed benefits are being met and are of greater help in attaining ETO's goals than simply being a distraction whose only purpose for being is that they replaced a horribly failed system of green boxes.

I would call this "an over reaction" ?Sorry that is utter giberish I cant understand WTF your on about.
MaybeI would call this "an over reaction" ?
I don't visit here to get ratings , likes or thanks or whatever it matters not, I come to learn from more experienced people , I may disagree with some post , but see no reason to dislike . for me 'like' is a non word anyway.dislikes dont impact your rating and likes mean very little.
Apologies to Monty Python.It seems like a silly feature.

All seriousness with no deviations from a path of strict rectitude makes the average engineer a lonely neurotic person.JimB

If you mean the outburst by LG, I think that is him just being a gobby little kid who needs to grow up a lot more.The dislikes I got in the past 24 hours for asking an simple question are another example.
From your comments here and elsewhere in the forums, you seem to have a bit of a downer on ETO,.Maybe the forum name should be changed to Electro-Twit-Online?

Why the moderators?I think the moderators should consider both sides of the current reputation system with an eye to whether the presumed benefits are being met and are of greater help in attaining ETO's goals than simply being a distraction whose only purpose for being is that they replaced a horribly failed system of green boxes.

Although your linked article has much detail, it has a few errors.This thread is started using posts split off from this thread:
https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/debounce.147308/
This seems to be a lively topic with some strong opinions, let's keep it a civil discussion.
