Hi everyone,
There's been some comments that the phrasing for a -1 vote in Gerrit ("I'd prefer that you didn't submit this") is kind of personal and we can do better.
I did some testing and this is totally configurable :) It won't change for old comments that were already submitted, but we can pick some nicer wording going forward.
I really don't have any good suggestions for this, so I'm opening this up to the list for a bit of good old fashioned bikeshedding.
I don't really want Gerrit putting words into my mouth regardless of how nice they sound. There will always be cases where the phrase is inappropriate and offputting, regardless of which one you choose.
How about "Set code review score to -1"? Then a more personal message can be typed by the human doing the review.
