I noticed a "like" button has recently been implemented. At first I wondered what the purpose of this implementation is, since we could already "like" a post by giving the user some rep. Then I thought that ok this "like" will make the fact that we liked said post visible to the rest of the members, so it does have a point. Plus sometimes I "like" a post but that wouldn't be reason enough to raise the rep of the member. At least it shouldn't be, if the rep system had any meaning, had it worked as it should.

But why no dislike button too? FB said they never gonna make one but here you can neg rep someone, so there is a way to show them you dislike their post. Plus, sometimes a member says something I dislike but it wouldn't really be reason enough to reduce their reputation. Not to mention that even if I do, generally members overreact when you neg rep them ("oh noes my precious rep, go to hell"). Whereas with a simple dislike this would be solved.

P.S. : Btw in some threads I noticed you can "thank" posts. Last time this happened I remember it was a bug so maybe someone should take a look at it.

I agree. 'Like' button should be replaced with 'Dislike'. hmm

There's no dislike button because people started drama over their threads being disliked too much and the feature being "abused" just to annoy stat lovers, which lead to it being disabled... this happened almost two years ago.

Add a dislike button, there are a lot of things people dislike so if we dislike a troll's bait thread they will feel like they did the wrong thing imo, also by adding the dislike button people will dislike the thread or post instead of flaming and getting infracted.

Yeah,i was wondering the same.

Adding a dislike will give haters more ways to troll rather than just post troll one liners,pics,and gifs.

Now if someone is actually trolling,then people can make them realize they're doing something wrong by neg repping and posting a reply.But trolls would be able to troll more by disliking everyones comment that disagreeas with them.
