What is this, Siskel and Ebert?
The Poll didn't work, and my attempt to delete the thread and try again failed too.
So, do you support a "No Thanks" button or not?
I use the thanks button whenever I find someone's post to be helpful, unique and or enlightening; I would like a "No Thanks" button allowing us the option to tell others their post lacked substance, or was so entirely partisan it didn't keep a debate/thread moving forward, was simply stupid or an obvious need for attention by someone with nothing to offer.

Just another way for people to be nasty to each other. There are already plenty of those so I see no need for another.

It is called neg rep.

Negative Reps are for felonies, not simply stupid or obnoxious posts. My default is to offer a "Thanks for Sharing", a no thanks seems simpler and cleaner.

There's truth to that, but when a post receives dozens of "No thanks" maybe, just maybe, some of the dumbest will gain some insight.

Yeah, I can see a huge potential for abuse. Those that don't like a person or their views can all pile on and no-thank an interesting post. That kind of hurts the post and stifles free speech. If someone is being a troll, the only thing to do is skip it, put them on ignore, or report it if you feel they are always off-topic.
No Thanks.
If WC doesn't care for a post, he/she/it doesn't have to Thank It or can Neg Rep it. We don't need yet another feedback mechanism.

I use thanks because you can appreciate a post someone made especially if they have posted something you wanted to say yourself but they said it much better.
If someone posts something I don't like I just respond in the thread to them with what I don't like or don't agree with about their post.
I don't see a reason for no thanks, the rep system covers all that kind of stuff in my opinion.
I opted out of rep so I can just discuss the issue with people and not make it a popularity contest to boost my ego or for others to use it in personal ways to be hateful privately by sending mean notes on the rep
I'd rather get rid of the thanks button then add a no-thanks button.
