I have removed the "Dumb" rating on the forums as it was being overused and was no longer serving it's original purpose.
We introduced +High & -High ratings many years ago and they served as an easy way for a player to communicate their agreement or disagreement with any given post quickly and without the need for a response, and only with the advent of our new website were the extra four ratings added.
The dumb rating was originally very rarely used but has now replaced -High entirely, I think that this leads to an unnecessarily harsh and toxic connotation to our post rating system and this change will have a small but meaningful benefit.
