xgsjx Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 If you hover over someone's name above their avatar, you can see how many total likes they have. I can see Monckeyman has 36 likes & daz has 14. I think the like system is fun & if anyone takes it serious, then a life would be required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vibrating G String Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Cool, a hate button to go next to the like button Both should help build the cliques that will help this site become more like TB. I mean, why shouldn't those who whine the loudest have the most say? It works for the Tea Party over here. (yes, that is sarcasm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it being used as a coward's way of disagreeing with someone without justifying it. [/quote]I think these neg things are favorites of cowards.

I wouldn't use it just because I didn't fully agree with something (infact, I probably wouldn't use it at all), but i can see it being used for "nonsense" posts (if you know what I mean).

IME it's a tool for the polar extremes at the expense of the others. By the way I had a very high like ratio but that has plummeted since the dislike button.

charic Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Ha! tBBC with this system would've been interesting! Now we just need a non-committal button which makes absolutely no difference to peoples ranking amber should suit nicely. One thing I have noticed is they're quite difficult to hit accurately on a mobile and I nearly hit one when just scrolling a page. Just something to think about really.

MrRatty Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I think that if somebody disagrees with something said on the forum then they should post a response saying this and explaining why they disagree. It is not much help to the reader seeing that one or more disagree without any explanation why. Also, I find the idea of these buttons rather distracting to my enjoyment of the forum.

farmer61 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Can I suggest that you take this reputation marking system off of the For Sale section, in the same way there should be not 3rd party negative comments about items for sale, just wonder whether this system could wrongly predudice sale items?

Rumple Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 One thing I have noticed reading back over this thread is that the idea may not get treated in the same way by everyone thus at worse making it a bit meaningless at best making it confusing.
