New reaction button suggestions

chiarieds

Perhaps it would make it easier if examples were given where 'unhelpful' advice has actually been given.

Any comments made by a new poster, if incorrect or misleading, can be reported to Scope, or other members will give the correct information, so where are all these posts that should be marked as 'unhelpful?'

You also add that others might go 'down the same line of advice.' This sounds like you think not one, but several other members, persist in giving unhelpful advice, which seems even odder. No-one else says this happens.

I don't see anyone being anything but respectful here!  I've also seen many members give incorrect advice, mis-information,  stating opinions as facts, need i go on?

When i do, i've corrected that advice, i've also reported many comments because of this. This doesn't mean it would be right to have a "unhelpful" button.

We are all entitled to our own opinions and i definitely have mine.

No ones opinions are less valued than anyone else's. People have given suggestions and people have commented on those suggestions. Some have been agreed with, others haven't. Several people disagreed with the "unhelpful" button. We all have a right to voice our opinions.

The idea of this thread was for scope to get suggestions from its users, now,  it's not really we don't agree or disagree thread is it. It's a suggestion for scope to look at and take what it wants from that. It shouldn't be let's all jump on someone we disagree with and why would we have to offer examples of our suggestions? As suggested. Everyone is entitled to have their say on what they think might work, whether right or wrong. However its not very helpful to scope or users if their suggestions are ridiculed, it may also stop others from making their own suggestions

@woodbine there's absolutely no need to shout.

There are vulnerable people on this site, who may lack in confidence,  and other things besides. So when someone posts a suggestion, which has been requested, whether wrong or right, then sees others suggestions being put down, shall we say,  then that negativity will  stop a person from  wanting  to take part.

Good idea at getting back on topic, I've only just noticed the quote button , is that new? If so then that's a good one.

Nope, i've been a member for 4 years and it's always been there.

Ah ok, don't know why I've not noticed it before

if we started again I’d have none of them but if we have any I will as ever not use any nor pay any regard to those who use them for or against me.  

Well that's just hurtful...I want an "I find your comment hurtful" button! 

I've never noticed any passive aggressive use of buttons. 

We should be able to debate things and have differing opinions without being afraid of being accused of causing upset or offence.
Mutual respect, great.
But when there maybe be posters who cry foul or offence at just about anything you don't agree with them on is wearisome and halts any debate.

All I was asking for was further clarity. What perturbed me was that one member thought more than one other member was perpetuating giving advice which they considered unhelpful. If that is occurring, it needs addressing.

This differs from what myself & others have mentioned, that some new/newish members sometimes give incorrect information. No-one, I believe, intentionally gives such misinformation. My other consternation was therefore, how would a new member feel if their post was marked unhelpful, rather than a polite correction being given?

How this has been so misconstrued is beyond me.....

Hi all,

I appreciate that the debates around 'helpful' vs. 'unhelpful' advice are somewhat relevant to the discussion around whether there should be an 'unhelpful' reaction, but it does seem as though parts of the thread have gone quite far off topic. 

i'm beginning to wonder why scope thought this should be open to debate, their forum their rules.

As @Sandy_123 said:

As the community team, we obviously have our own individual views on what reactions we should have (if any) available on the community. However, it's important to us that we take members' opinions into account when making decisions about the community. 

I think it's fair to say that we're not really considering having negative reactions on the community at this point. That's not to say that there's no argument for having them, but we don't think it'd add anything positive to the community at this time. 

We'll be keeping this thread open for now, as we'd like to hear other ideas that you may have. Please keep the discussion civil and positive, and directly related to ideas on reactions.

As I said I think a thanks button would be useful though I use the like button for that purpose at the moment. I wouldn’t mind seeing the insightful button go. I use the awesome button if I really agree with someone or I find it very funnyetc. I’ve never used any buttons in a passive aggressive manner, it hadn’t occurred to me to do so.

@woodbine thank you

A help button as sometimes  people aren't good at explaining what they need or may not understand the advice given
