Like/dislike

Feature. Any thoughts

 

[PDXChris]

Dislike

I feel people would pick on others with this feature and it would be like High School.

 

[Shaggy]

It may get abused in beginning but it turns out to work well once the "newest" of it wears off.

 

[BigRedRage]

i dislike threads by ignoring them.

 

[Shaggy]

They don't have a dislike, its only like or nothing at all.

 

[Kel Varnsen]

I think it would be cool to like or rate individual posts like we do for threads.

 

[Passepartout]

Really would love that as well!

That would be cool then. The idea of a dislike is what I dislike.

and there will be participation trophies. No winners or losers.

Ha ha! There is another mod I have on a few of my other forums that members seem to like, its a mention mod, where a user can mention another user in a post, and that mentioned user gets a notification that they have been mentioned. It also notifies you if your post has been quoted too.

That is very handy and there are other boards that use it too. I like it a lot.

If it's a "like" feature that can only be used on threads, I think that's kind of redundant since we have the star-rating system already in place. It doesn't get used much, but it allows for like/dislike (1 star vs 4 or 5)

Yeah, I've seen it on another forum only they call it "thanks" and it is listed in the user info cell right under number of posts. I have no strong feelings either way.

I think this thread is just talking about posts/users and not threads.

 

[oaken1]

there have been times when I wished for that very feature.

It's individual posts, not just the whole thread. So I could have just liked your post you just made.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Can we PLEASE add the notification to being quoted in posts? It would make following threads, much much easier.

 

[puckhead]

Couldn't we just type; I dislike your post?

That is not available in the software. It would require a third party customization.

This should probably be it's own thread since it is not related to "like/dislike".

I like forums that simply list "Likes". Don't use the dislikes. The dislikes creates animosity. However, there is nothing wrong with showing how well Liked a post is. As others stated....if you don't like a post..we can simply ignore it.

I like the like option. Many times I have gone to click the "like" button only to find it's not there.

Well, that is not a problem because if you read Shaggy's post number 5 in this thread, dislike does not exist as an option.

But then I can't pad my posts by saying +1

No, if you want to pad, you go arthurrraccoon and

I should have been more clear. I realized that I was just saying in case people really want to see that feature get added, I was voting against it.
