Wish there was a dislike option for comments and responses

No. I don't think so. Many platforms have disabled the ability to dislike something. The idea is if you like the post, you like it. If you don't, you can move on. If you think the post is in violation of the rules, you can always report it. But that's real extreme. It's okay to dislike something, but by having the option to dislike a post, would discourage users from reading it and that'd be hurtful for the author.

I think that’s a good idea.

You do get paid for all responds so be happy with that.

I just use the 'like' button to show I have read it. But I am aware that I could be accused of actually 'liking' something distasteful. I would prefer a simple 'read it' option.

I think a 'dislike' button would only cause friction. Best just to move on.

Any comment increases earning. Well I think of it this way: the user atleast took some time out to comment on my post which will benefit me. So, the least I can do is like it. I kinda find it rude if I don't. Unless I like the comment, their earnings, won't increase. So you should like the comment even if it's irrelevant to your discussion. Have a good day.

I think it makes sense that if you can LIKE something you should be able to DISLIKE it as well.

It sounds like a good option.

YES, I am all for a dislike button and I am against the block button. This is a discussion site, blocking someone makes no sense.

that is a good idea

I think that might be a good idea, I always read, like, and comment,

I agree with you. There should be.

There should be a like limit, cause I see there's 1 that's going through peoples posts & scamming them with likes on every comment.

Thats an interesting idea. An unlike button would also help people to limit unwanted comments as well. The unlike could also reverse the earnings for anyone who earned from the response. That would deter many not to add unwanted or irrelevant comments. What if people misused the dislike button? Thats some food for thought. For now your idea of not liking a post would be better. I have not received unwanted comments for any of my discussions so far. I did receive from one person some provoking comments but apart from that unwanted responses or irrelevant , not yet atleast. You have a great day ahead!

Me, who is irregular here be like what's' going on ?

I take it you don't recall how the 'dislike' button we had here before May 2013 did nothing but cause drama. It is probably best to either ignore or block the idiots.
