"Alternative to posting" on a discussion board?
I think it's lazy, and when done anonymously also sneaky and yellow. Sorry for the wording, but that's what I think about it. Not wanting to post but devaluate another member's post that way is unfair, too. I wouldn't click dislike even if I absolutely hated a particular post. Even if I don't agree with someone, I acknowledge the fact that the author put time and effort in their post (unlike just clicking some stupid button).
As long as the names of those who clicked "dislike" aren't shown, it's pretty easy to "dislike" any comment a particular person posted ("I don't like him/her, let's dislike all his/her posts) or click the button just "for fun". That whole like/dislike thing is not reliable, not representative, highly manipulable and rather childish, in my opinion. It will not "fix" anything.

See, that's another problem with the missing names. I will just assume that it was you who disliked my post.
