Topic: Anti Unfavorable button accidental touch mechanism

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

I get the feeling this would be really awkward and clumsy, considering that the "Favorite" button changes color when a post is already favorited, and your keyboard probably isn't changing color based on a post's status.

You can also just un-downvote a post by clicking the downvote button again.

Also, double-press-to-activate would probably work better than a keyboard shortcut.

Some people would enjoy it, but the usual issue is that you can add a million small features to the point of the settings page being very overloaded.
Not that I have anything against a setting that removes the ability to click the unfavourite button.

Not to mention that there is a maximum amount of settings we can have
The postgres column is a big integer and we use bit shifting, so at most we can have 63 preferences (1 << 62), we currently have 28 (a few are unused but it's pretty hard to reuse them)

You won't think like this when you haven't slept well for several nights due to mental problem,
