According to the bible, are christians allowed to use thumbs up, thumbs down and the Report It button?
Surely this is judging?

Pagans and Satanists love the clapped out King James Bible because it uses this clapped out word 'judge' when it should use 'criticise' or 'find fault'. So a proper translation is:
"Do not find fault with others, in case fault is found in you."
Now read the Scripture you should have read:
'The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment: "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.' 1 Co 2:15-16 NIV
See? Judgment in the saint is supreme, according to the Bible. So will you now accept that with equal readiness??? :o)
.
No doubt some Pagan or Satanist will now get very annoyed by the above, and come back and use the KJV's version to prove how annoyed they are.

Jesus said render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's. (substitute Yahoo for Caesar and we're okay with opinion-giving).
The pronouncement against judging others is the presumption of guilt or innocence in matters only G-d can know. Those who presume G-d's forgiveness will be met with sorrow; those who presume G-d's wrath upon others will likely be disappointed as well.

Christians are told not to judge. However, we have intelligence and free will, opinions and tastes. If we do not like something or disagree with something, we are registering our opinion. We are not judging the person asking the question!

The bible says "judge not lest ye be judged" so I suppose if the christians are judging us, we are allowed to judge them.

Excuse me, where in the Bible does it say that you cannot "judge" answers?
Boy, do people twist things out of context. There is permissible judgment, forbidden judgment, and mandatory judgment.
Of these three types of judgment, into which category falls judging answers, do you suppose?

I think it's petty to give a thumbs down unless the answer is filled with hate. But I guess people use it just to say, "I disagree."
I give thumbs up and stars, but that's it.

Jesus never said not to judge. He said to use righteous judgement. A common misunderstanding by the unbelieving, hell-bound cherry pickers.
