Discourage serious reviews

I will have to agree with Imorovan on this one. This is where the agree and disagree buttons SHOULD come in. If someone is trying to make a point in a serious discussion, how frustrating is it to have someone think it is "Funny"? It makes a joke of peoples' belief system ~ no matter what their beliefs are. I really don't like this button, and if I disagree, I would rather write why and I WILL put helpful, because someone is obviously throwing their beliefs out there (even if I don't believe the same). Everyones' views, to me, are helpful ~ if I agree, I put agree ~ if it is something I know nothing about or respect others thoughts, I put helpful ~ if it is funny, I put funny. I don't believe in mocking others by using the funny button for their thoughts and beliefs.

Exactly! Personally, I don't care if I get funnt buttoned (as I see I already have), I just don't do it to others.

How true. I mean, yes, this is an opinion Website and not everyone is going to agree with one another. But it does look bad when people get a "funny" vote on everything they say. I've heard people being called "whiners" for expressing their feelings about the "funny" button, but some people are a little more sensitive, especially when a review is of a very serious nature.
