    The optimistic button should count as negative reputation so it can be used as a sarcastic disagree.

    But then people who actually mean it's optimistic would actually be hurting the person. I think it should just mean what it means.

    Agreed. @Dman1791
    So if you wanna be sarcastic you just have to use language. Like all the cool kids.[DOUBLEPOST=1410904543,1410904379][/DOUBLEPOST]Thank you for your genuine optimism.

    Ah, we're back into the Stone Ages, when people spammed replies that said "+1!" or "-1!".

    Excellent.

    The optimistic rating currently means and/or represents: optimistic, go f*ck yourself, f*ggot, rainbows, unicorns, keep on dreaming.

    You might use it that way. But guess what? It's not calculated that way. Like at all. So rainbow away.

    That's why I included multiple meanings :P . Because everyone uses it differently.

    I just use old as a surrogate disagree, if we never get it back. I hope we do, but that's a topic for another thread.

    doesn't matter at all. you know what the ratings do to me? jack. and they might be intended one way but they are never going to be calculated that way.

    ^ I didn't mean optimistic at all with the above rating. Just that I wanted to reinforce his point (which would be a positive rating).

    As it stands I'm pretty sure that Comr4de or BDLS has the most rainbows (I'm too lazy to chek). But I'm getting there :P

    The optimistic rating has nearly infinite meanings, my friends. Learn it, use it, embrace it.

    @BDLS just did an optimized carpet bombing. In images it could be resumed to something like this:
