    I now see that the Baptist Board has done away with the Funny Rating.

    BB lost its sense of humor? Sad day if it has.

    I can understand the removal of negative ratings, but positive ones?

    Some started using the Funny rating negatively to laugh in derision.
    It began to get nasty.

    Then can't we just disable their funny buttons?

    Sanctions against the offender(s) would be more appropriate.

    Sometimes it is difficult telling the offendor from the offendee.

    Getting rid of the Funny rating is serious business!

    Agree. We are witnessing the grumpification of Baptist Board. Poor decision by the Administration.

    Appropriate.

    This site needs all of the good nature and levity it can get. Taking away that Rating will not help anything.

    As a possible way to bring back the funny rating, how about two "Like" ratings? There could be:

    "Like"
    and
    "Like--Funny"

    "Like" could be for overall appreciation of the post.
    "Like--Funny" could be for appreciation of the post because it's funny.

    I was thinking something similar.

    Maybe an Agree-Funny, as someone using the Funny rating to disparage someone would be loathe to use it if it also meant agreeing.

    I guess that, if this is in fact because *ahem* "someone" abused it by using it derisively, it never bothered me. It was a Positive Rating. The joke was on him for using it.

    I say deal with the offender instead of the bystanders.
