Reason: I think it is important to have feedback on what others think of your contribution to the greater AF community for 2 reasons:
1. Personal growth. While you may think your quality, content and tone are seen as positive contributions, others may not and changes can be made.
2. Improve quality of overall forum. Everyone has a threshold where if the quality of discussion falls below it, they will consider leaving. If members know and use the feedback loop of "Ignore" purposefully, I have to believe it will make a difference in overall quality. Improvements in quality will increase retention. Increased retention improves quality.
Good idea? Bad idea? Impracticable? Impossible? Another method with same goal?
This is similar to the suggestion that we have negative rep, and likely is undesirable for similar reasons. Negative feedback of itself doesn't generally lead to positive outcomes. The positive feedback of kudos and rep is eminently preferable.
Right. Also doesn't not getting kudos have a similar effect as negative kudos, but a little less harsh?
A little less harsh, what am I saying lol
