What's with this 'Thumbs up!' or 'Thumbs down!' nonsense?

Pretty easy to avoid using it if you don't like though, no? It's not mandatory.

Just above the "Thread Display Options" heading is a check box option, de-select it to stop receiving thumb notifications.

Thanks Greens :(
It's a bit botty-patting for me as well

Ah but does that stop the thumbs up/down from occurring ?

I mean... what sort of wanker bothers to 'Thumbs Down!' a post like that. It beggars belief.
Yeah, I wondered what that was all about. However a lot of newspaper comment sections have them now and it's way better than that 'rep' thing that we had on here a while back. 'Rep' is good on factual boards where people are giving technical advice, but was worse than useless on something like NSC which is all about opinions. You could get a bad rep just for having different views.
No. But it stops you getting notifications, which makes it easier to ignore them.
EDIT: It stops you getting thumb notifications, you still get quote and mention notifications.

My notifications tell me you "thumbs downed" my previous post in this thread. Cough.

Are you OK, man? You seem really angry about all this. What's up?

A different kind of pasty
I guess it could help the number of "this" posts. Just thumbs-up instead
Oh yeah, notifications are back. I was up to about 700 before they disappeared, on a mere 4 at the moment. And I see someone's 'thumbs downed' my post, obviously some ignorant tosser who thought that 'rep' WAS a good thing to have on a board that's all about opinions.
(This could be fun!)
EDIT: Ohh! Now it's gone positive!
EDIT AGAIN: Nope, negative again as is this one. I've got no friends!

How do you do that?

See Acker79's post earlier in this thread. It turns off notifications, not the actual functionality. But that's pretty easy to ignore when there's no notifications.
