Disagree

We have it. I've used it on occasion.See no reason to do away with it.

A better way of saying "we have a difference of opinion" than the former "not helpful" button. Note that you can disagree with the thrust of an opinion and still find it to be helpful.

When used in context of a real review (as in, "a review that has relevant content"), this is probably one of the more "intellectually honest" answers one can give: there are many subjects that are are a matter of opinion, and for those cases I would prefer to note that I have a difference in opinion. I can disagree with someone and yet find their review helpful as a means to provide a different viewpoint. However, the "disagree" button here actually rarely truly means "I have a difference in a opinion", it usually actually means "you're retarded and I don't like you", so I don't use the "disagree" button except on rare occasions. In the ideal RIA, someone who clicks "disagree" will then follow with a comment stating WHY they disagreed. But, in truth, no matter what we label it, any vote that is not viewed as "positive" (like helpful or funny) is going to be seen as someone being a troll. "Constructive criticism" isn't really something that happens here.

Update: Not something I use much, but it seems to have considerable value in allowing some of the more sensitive and emotional among us to let off steam. Every so often I'll see a dozen or more disagree votes pop up in under a minute, which is an experience I know I share with many on here. Suits me. If pushing an internet button keeps folks like that pacified, everybody is better off. Original Review (June 2008) Yeah, but...... "Disagree" doesn't fully capture the incredulous sense of farce that some reviews inspire in me.  Commenting out AutoMatt's review below, I take some issue with the "disagree" votes not being tracked.  Personally, I'd like to know how much disagreement I get.  I had the same feeling about the old "Not Helpful" button.  Why not track it and post it?  Otherwise, its just a placebo pill that pretends to give reviewers power.  If this is the way things are going to go, add a column to the Hall of Fame list.

Decent, but it lacks the balls of the old "not helpful" button. Based on the ratings on the list it looks like this is going to be the end result of these discussions. UPDATE: Damn, I hate being right. Not only is it watered down, but we're rewarding shitheads by calling them "controversial." Its like giving the bad kid a cookie, I tell you... UPDATE: On the upside, I'm second in D votes. Suck it...

Par for the course.

To establish a "disagree" button would be the same as notioning that some RIA'ers should be considered "disagreeable"...and that, my friends, IS FREAKIN' INGENIOUS!!!.However, for the time being, simply moving on to the next comment without any more "buttons" seems to be just as good a choice as any.

A "disagree" button would be welcomed by me, since there are reviews that do not fall into any of the rating options that are presently available. To Automatt: Lock any possibility to change a vote after a certain amount of days, without affecting the ability to vote on past reviews that one has not voted upon.

If an option is going to be used to allow one to voice displeasure with another's review, then "Disagree" seems pretty reasonable. It isn't personal, and shouldn't be taken that way. It would, however, give readers a more complete idea of how others think of each review.

As is, we can comment on a review via leaving another review or by leaving a comment, rather than tallying a phantom disagree vote.  I actually prefer the funny's, even if it's a mock funny.  It leaves the vote open for interpretation.  What do ya mean, funny? Let me understand this cause, I don't know maybe it's me, I'm a little "messed" up maybe, but I'm funny how? I mean, funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh... I'm here to "expl." amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny? - Goodfellas

"Disagree" would be my personal preference, considering that "unhelpful" votes most often meant disagree anyway. And it would cut back on people using the funny vote to express their disagreement. People will find some way to express their disagreement, might as well give them the proper channel to do so.I agree with Irish in that if you are going to introduce the "disagree" option, it might as well be kept track of in the Hall of Fame list.

Disagree sounds like it makes a little more sense because most people's reviews express an opinion of which you would either agree or disagree with.

Disagree is definitely the choice.

Disagree works for me.

at least if may keep the funny button being used when someone disagrees when someone is trying to be serious.

I think we need it, but leave the funny button. Then maybe with the disagree button the funny won't be the mock button.

I never understood the funny button, it should be replaced with the disagree button.

I think it's a good idea. The "funny" button has become a de facto "disagree" button, which clouds the issue considerably, as sometimes a "funny" rating simply means that something struck somebody as "funny" as opposed to "wrong-headed" or "erroneous" or "bent" or "flagrantly ridiculous" or "bone-headed neo-con idiocy".

Not a bad idea to bring back- but it does sell short expression when someone says something outright false or preposterous. . .but it's not a bad choice.
