I think for certain things on forums, especially in this subforum, something like a dislike, or a downvote type of thing is needed, rather than to have everyone say +1 by liking the original post, we could also have a dislike button, instead of always having to write -1 in the comments. This would mean that you can see how many people there are voting for both sides, and how many others will have different opinions without leaving a comment of +1/-1

Additionally if it's an older post, writing anything would serve as a bump to the post, this way it would show more need for the original suggester to pay attention to it and bump his/her post need be

+1 to this, we keep bumping posts instead of being able to dislike the post and simply move on. There's posts with really dumb suggestions that I'd just like to -1 and continue with my daily posting without bumping them.

There's an option to create polls though.

 

Yet I feel like this could be useful if the user doesn't create a poll or in any other situation [such as if someone just wants to -1 and not give any reasoning to it]. But it would be nice if the dislikes are kept anonymous for obvious reasons.

Dislikes are toxic, suggestions is already toxic on some threads. -1 seems sufficient to me.

The biggest -1 you can give is ignoring the post.

+1 to this suggestion, though there might be people who dislike a post just because they're trolling, or dislike the person who posts.

Dislikes are simply saying -1 while bumping the post, and bringing attention to it, this way you can leave a quick -1 without having to show attention towards it
