I wish they would add a -1 button

  they do: "block all example.com results" or whatever. it's just not shared (yet?)

    Serious question: why would you want to share it? I think the default for most websites is already that no one goes there. Telling someone "This exists but don't go there" is like the canonical, "Don't think of a polar bear."

      On the other hand, telling Google "you know this exists but it's useless" is a useful bit of information. It's not like your blocked websites would be shared in a list, they would just be used to influence the ordering of search results.

        Yes, but this goes back to magicalist's comment above.

    well that's more of a middle finger for a domain or subdomain as opposed to a thumbs down for a single result for a specific search (which is how I envision a -1) If I could see this -1 layer and +1 layer in social searches I could pick out visually what the more likely to have solid content links would be. Or the safer-neighborhoods if you will. I always thought a few recommendations or disses by people in my social network weighed as heavily as a couple hundred recommendations in aggregate of total strangers (like yelp).
