When do you give an answer a thumbs down?

Show all answers

CreativeChick8

when the answer has nothing to do with the question, is incompetent, or unnecessary. for example...

"i don't know."

"that's great. bananas are good."

"ew. that's disgusting."

Ah it happen to me all the time.I assume the person who give thumbs down want to show that your not that sharp and accurate as you may think. I don't know. Maybe they just like to give away thumbs down.

Don't let the Thumb's Down get you down. I don't, I actually ask for more.
The majority of people here can tell if the answer given deserved the TD or not. More often than not if I see an unjustified TD I will try to counter it with a TU.
I generally give a TD for an answer that is completely wrong or illogical. Rarely do I give a TD simply because I don't like the answerer.
I do think that YAP goes through its' cycles i.e. TD's, reporting, inane questions, trolling etc.

When his/her answer is way too far from the question. I once saw this answer which is a lame link not connected to the question. So I gave him/her a TD.

If a person gets so upset in reading someone else's opinion.
He/she should post his/her own answer in the same question.
The most infallible way to pronounce something as ignoble and unpleasing, is not to call it as such - but to put something exquisitely beautiful directly beside it. Let the hideous proclaim itself.
TDs are the ways of the weak
..and of the envious.

The emperor gives the thumbs down when a gladiator awaits his execution.

I don't know if it is a season though.

When they are really rude foul mouthed or stupid.

never.... everyone , even racist or stupidos, are entitled to share an opinion, and sometimes, they make sense. I like TDs in me, the more the better, it means the answer was stimulating,heheh.

i only give thumbs down to the answers that are rude to the one who asked the question..
i also give thumbs down to those who have/use bad words

Very rarely do I give a thumbs down.

And if I do, strictly rude answers only.

I don't bother with answers that are off tangent. Some people are probably happy sharing whatever comes to mind. Not an issue with me.

Peace everyone!

Only if the answer is completely off the question. Not related and obscene...Yup, sure TD for me.

I noticed that there are at least a couple following and giving me TDs. I find it hilarious! Out of at least 15 answers...I'm the only one that has TDs. Like...WOW! Talk about diligence.

LOL!=P

when I don't like the answer... when I feel it's wrong, it's not appropriate...

I only give a Thumbs Down when I see that the answer was made with the sole intention of annoying someone, or the community.

Otherwise, even if I disagree with the answer, I let it go. I will not give it a thumbs up, but neither will I give it a thumbs down.

though i find some answers stup_d,

i just read it briefly. idk anyway.

i only give thumbs down for obscene answers.

I don't. I don't give any thumbs down! In my mind I have disabled two buttons here - the "TD sign" and the "report abuse". I have conditioned myself that those do not work so I do not use them.

For me it's enough that I answer as best I could, give Thumbs Up to answers that appeal to me, and star Questions I like (even if I can't answer)... and that's it. That's all I do here.
