    Default "Epic Fail" Button to Compliment the "High Five" Button

    An idea! We have a "high five" button on the forum. I assume this is a quick way for posters to indicate merit, approval or agreement with a post, with/without posting a resposne. How about adding a button that indicates the exact opposite (epic fail)? Call it a quick indicator that the respondent thinks the post is stupid, deploarable, idiotic, etc. without having to type such a response. I don't see how this kind of feature would offend anyone anymore than the "high five" button confirms football genius or guruness by using it. What do you think Bronso fans? I sent this to the mods and they recommended I start a conversation here.

    the only problem is nobody ever posts things that are stupid, deploarable, idiotic, etc. on this site
    it's all top shelf discussion here !

    I would never think you would call me argumentative or rude, TKO! I know you love me. Besides. I've had a week from the bowels of hell and I deserve to be a bit grumpy.
