Very positive update to the forum to remove the red thumbs in my opinion. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 3111 - 02/07/2020 05:42:50 2282632 Link
Well that's the we hate Kerry brigade scuppered! How now will they be able to show their anger as they stalk the Kerry forum ;D Maybe it will force some of them to actually have the balls to identify themselves by posting something - instead of hiding behind a pathetic little red button. Get rid of the green thumbs while you're at it, esp given the fact certain posters (hello username) have various alter-egos to give themselves green pats on the back!! People are strange, I suppose :D TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 5828 - 02/07/2020 10:24:58 2282659 Link
Replying To Whammo86: "Very positive update to the forum to remove the red thumbs in my opinion." Exactly. It stops debate. If you have a problem with a post. Comment with your criticisms dont just hide behind red thumbs Green thumbs for appreciating good posts/posts you agree with are fine.

Replying To Whammo86: "Very positive update to the forum to remove the red thumbs in my opinion." I can't say they ever bothered me but if it means people have to engage more in conversation than its a good thing, I don't think the green thumbs add a whole lot either tbh.

The ones that irritated me were on the posts wishing everyone Happy Christmas or whatever. What's all that about ? Anonymous killjoy posts ? Religious bias ? lionofludesch (Down) - Posts: 369 - 02/07/2020 11:58:10 2282685 Link
To be honest I find people putting an stupid smiley/winky face even worse than the red thumbs. Put a barb in your post and then stick one of those stupid signs after it to show that you're just having 'the craic' when you're probably thumping the keyboard in impotent fury. Adolescent behaviour. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1325 - 02/07/2020 12:48:39 2282695 Link
Seems a bit half-assed if you ask me, have both or none at all. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 1803 - 02/07/2020 12:52:02 2282696 Link
Who cares, its a GAA forum, the amount of people who dont talk about GAA on here and are on personal rants is ridiculous and in all honesty you could feel nothing but compassion and concern for them, do we really need a thread and comments about imagery thumbs. Laughing here, "we dont care about imagery thumbs" - clearly! TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 3671 - 02/07/2020 12:56:50 2282699 Link
Replying To Gleebo: "Seems a bit half-assed if you ask me, have both or none at all." I'm not a fan of either but I think the red thumbs were particularly bad and stifled debate. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 3111 - 02/07/2020 13:03:03 2282701 Link

Ahh Kingdomboy, you didn't have to wait for me to tell you the psychology behind it. I think you knew all that well enough yourself.

Replying To Whammo86: "I'm not a fan of either but I think the red thumbs were particularly bad and stifled debate." Well said, red thumbs were particularly bad and stifled debate - the forum is about opinions and debate - it was simple to just down thumb besides actually contributing to the discussion in a constructively manner Horsebox77 (Kerry) - Posts: 4877 - 02/07/2020 19:19:21 2282763 Link
