Covering up quite a bit actually. If there's a lot of disliked comments on a topic, good chance it's not popular (of the forum population) opinion. By only allowing the like button to continue you're pushing any opinions that are not +1 out of the game. If someone can add a +1, someone else should be able to add a -1, or you're promoting a false utopia of upvotes...
Many of the downvoted threads did not warrant a full reply. The dislike button was enough to say "I don't like this".
这就是掩饰。如果一个帖里有很多不受待见的评论，那评论必然是在论坛里不流行的。能赞就应该能踩，要不你就是在蓄意制造和平盛世..绝大多数被踩的帖根本不需要解释，那个按钮就表示我不喜欢这样。
*puts on tin foil hat*
It wasn't the *original* intention. I wasn't here when it was implemented, and maybe there was a poor word choice on the button, but we're a bit past that now.

And now if there's not a lot likes, then it's still not popular?
I think your concern is how do we know x is popular versus y and z (wheras x may be a disagreement about game design and y may be a thread about Illidan lore). Things will be compared on the bigger picture now instead of thread by thread, which is how we've been doing it for a long, long time to be honest.

这并不是原始的意图，而且我也是后来的，而且就算那有个按钮有那个(不喜欢)意思但我们现在觉得应该改变点了。我觉得你担心的是我们怎么知道什么受欢迎什么不受的。 然而你懂个P 我们在下很大一盘棋，老实说这种事情我们已经干了很久了。
讲真我是没看出这里面有利大于弊，我就看见这个蓝帖发言人在疯狂打滚，这还是原来那个暴雪?
