Dislike Malfunction

[jipster43]

To whomever I may have offended in the past:

 

I have never used the "dislike" button for anyone's post. Nor have I ever given anyone an "off topic". I have, however, used my iPhone religiously and more than likely have inadvertently brushed one of these options on one of you at some point. Again, I apologize for any hurt feelings. I am totally unaware when I do it, so I'm unable to amend the mistake after the fact unless you draw my attention to it.

 

It would be cool to be required to confirm your intentions before any such action is taken.

 

This is not an attack against @MattP or @Horton or anyone involved with the goings on here at BOS. I just wanted to clear my conscience.

 

This of course does not pertain to any comments directed at @MS

For the record. If you ever click anything....you can "unclick" it by simply tapping it again!

Commonly called a fat finger fail. I read a lot on my iPhone a do it all the time.

easily done on the iPhone and assume others. Ive done that. The one that frustrates me the most is bumping the "marked all viewed" button. I read some and skip others for later but when that gets tapped i don't even try to sort out what's been skipped for a later read. Love to see that one slid to the far right and not centered on the page.

@horton

 

@skijay had a good idea

Hey @Matt, when you press the "Flag" button, a confirmation balloon pops up saying "Abuse," and you have to select the balloon to confirm your desire to leave this feedback. Would it be possible to program confirmation balloons for the rest of the feedback buttons ("Off Topic," "Dislike," "Like," and "Awesome?" Having to confirm any feedback would be most helpful. I especially don't want to give anyone an "Off Topic" or a "Dislike" by mistake.

[jipster43]

I have to assume all the "dislikes" I've received have been a slip of the thumb!

[Horton]

no one fat fingers like I do...

[Horton]

no I can not change the way dislike works with out paying a developer... would not be cheap

@horton I think my glowing finger sheds the light in this topic the most

[gregy]

I've gotten in the habit of using the far right edge of my screen when scrolling. Seems to work with my HTC phone.

I always figure that for every accidental dislike I get, there were 10 to 100 that somebody wanted to give intentionally but chose not to stick their neck out.

[Horton]

@Than_Bogan every day and twice when you are talking about gates

[Than_Bogan]

@OB on a rampage!!! :-)

[E_T]

@OB did I do something to offend you, or did your finger just slip on your phone

[Horton]

@E_T what planet do you think @OB is from?

[Than_Bogan]

@OB which I assumed was a clever commentary on the inherent irrelevancy of The Points.

 

Unfortunately, I can have no respect for myself until I am a Mega Baller, so I'm going to have to ask you to pay for my psychotherapy bills until then.
