Post [REQUEST] Reason why...

When I see people having what I see as a great show on "Won't Watch", or "dropped" I tend to wonder why they decided to stop watching, or what about it made them not want to watch it at all.
It'd be nice if you could add just a short, optional reason (a 255 char max input box or something) for the status people choose.

Thoughts?
I searched for "reasons why" and came up with nothing, so if this was already turned down: :( .

I guess that is true.
But some people would answer properly, and that'd be helpful.

I'd say most reasons for dropping a show are too personal to be of use to anyone. Like time constraints.

To me negative recommendations make more sense, but that was indirectly turned down.

I was was thinking about something like those "reasons why.." too, but if I remember correctly sothis said that in V3 users will be able to write small comments/reviews for their anime. I think you could use those for writing why you dropped or will not watch an anime.

It's an idea that could prove useful, but would more than likely turn out useless. Most people either wouldn't put down anything at all for the reasons, or would just suck "because it sucks". Like someone else said, your best bet is to just message the person & ask them.

For me, most of the shows in my won't watch list are eithersequels/prequels to a series I watched/dropped & hated, or sports ones. (I hate sports, and being sports related (especially common sports like baseballs, football, boxing, etc) practically guarantees that I won't watch a series. Other people feel the same way about other genres, like mecha or ecchi or cyberpunk.)
