The "dumb" rating option was discontinued due to whining

Now, alerts of when posts are rated has been turned off....I'm sure due to whining....

Since the dumb button is gone, may we please have a "boring" one?

Thank you!
I only disabled alerts for ratings in my "Alert Preferences',not yours.

My post was specifically about the "dumb" rating.
It's gone.
Someone took it away because Craig whined (and I posted the link taken from your link).
I modified my own alerts too........no big deal.
Ok. You asked me if I took it away. I felt the need to expand on my answer. My bad. No big deal here either,at least not between you and me. Others are choosing to make a big deal of it for some reason.

here, have a tissue...............▀
Why?

So............Craig whined that he would be abused if "dumb" stayed and for him you took it away?

Dang.
Poor little baby Craig has Power of the Whine.
Who knew?

Another epic Jen whine...

I commented that a few folks would abuse the buttons. They did...and some still do. It was their abuse that removed the "dumb" button.

Craig has no such power.

Ok, I figured out where I was having a problem with the alerts. I thought we would get alerts on ALL responses to threads that we're watching. I've found many that I never got alerts on. I've found some where someone has responded to me but I never got the alert. It doesn't happen often. I get some alerts of others responding to a thread, but not all. Is it just a hit & miss thing?
Go to your Preferences page...and set your preferences.

Go to your Preferences page...and set your preferences.
The only thing that wasn't checked off was "Attaches a file to a watched thread". Everything else was checked to make sure I got the alerts. But I'm still not alerted to all. It doesn't really matter, except I know I've missed some responses to me at times.

I went back to check out what I actually said...

The dislike and dumb will be abused.

Don't take that as a request for their removal, take it as a prediction based upon previous experience. Some will simply hit one of those buttons on every post made by the opposition.
No whining and no request for removal and certainly no mention of me being abused, but a prediction that holds true. I am not the one being abused, the buttons are being abused. Their constant use indicates a lack of discernment on the ones pushing the button. The two names I mentioned have downrated me 7 times in this thread alone. It reflects on them, not me.

My next prediction is that this post will also receive multiple downratings...:cool:

That's okay, Craig.
Nobody cares.
