Dislike is a strong and mean word.
Your suggestion should be filtering comments by feedback instead of using these mean words to attract wild forum people.

You know what, a “Give Feedback” button that works in a similar way would actually be better.

So, as you all know, dislike buttons are normally rejected because they can demotivate. Here's the full quote:

The Official List of Rejected Suggestions wrote:

4.2 Dislike button or a project rating system

Generally, a user's first project is something rather simple, such as a test project, a remix, or a project made using a tutorial. Because this project is simple, other users may give the project low ratings since it is not advanced. With low enough ratings, the creator might be discouraged enough to stop using Scratch. Moreover, constructive feedback is encouraged on Scratch. A dislike button may show the creator how many people disliked their project, but it tells nothing about what the creator could do better. If you do not like a project, you could choose not to love it, or you could leave a respectful and constructive comment telling the user how to improve, in addition to saying what you like about the project.

With that, a dislike button is rejected for anything, including projects and comments. However, a like button for comments is NOT rejected. You can discuss it on this topic.

But I want to focus on one singular sentence: “A dislike button may show the creator how many people disliked their project, but it tells nothing about what the creator could do better.”

What if there was a dislike button, but when clicking on it instead of just sending the dislike first it requires you to write a reason as to why you disliked the project and what the creator could do better. To combat potential private messaging abilities, the reasoning will also be sent as a comment (applying the character limit). It will also prevent “spam” reasonings as well. No reason, no dislike. The star and heart-it buttons remain the same though.

Write a reason? If only the maker can see.. private messaging.
