BigRedX Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I've voted. Either keep the present Like/Dislike system or get rid of it completely. Having just a like button is too namby-pamby politically correct for an imaginary world where nothing horrible ever happens.
discreet Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 But nothing horrible ever [i]does [/i]happen on BassChat, does it??

Very nicely done.

tony_m Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 FWIW, I've gone for the "Down With This Kind of Thing" option, though I should probably point out that I am a Grumpy Old Git who doesn't do FB and doesn't get this whole "Like" malarkey anyway...

LawrenceH Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I voted against the whole thing in the end because I think it encourages cliques and ultimately won't really help the mods either. But I was torn because '+1' is so irritating. Can we get rid of the system but also ban '+1'ing? Where did it even come from?

charic Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1321720338' post='1442412'] +1 [/quote] Drink meets keyboard
charic Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 FWIW I seem to remember way back when, before the upgrade a lot of people were saying "I wish there was a like, like on facebook"
thodrik Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) I went for 'likes' only. I nearly went with deactivate, but with facebook 'like' type stuff seems to be in fashion these days. I think that the existence of negative points could get very messy and personal so I wouldn't mind seeing it go. Edited November 19, 2011 by thodrik
Kiwi Posted November 19, 2011 Author Posted November 19, 2011 So far there are marginally more votes in favour of the system than against it...interesting.
Silvia Bluejay Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 ? My view shows most votes being on the "Deactivate all" line...

Silvia Bluejay Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Will the votes be counted like that? I thought that each option stood by itself and that the one with the most votes would be adopted. But I do get your point that for number of voters, there are more who favour one flavour of the system than dislike the system completely. Edited November 19, 2011 by bluejay

PS: I'd like to suggest that a 'negg' is an egg which nobody wants. Edited November 19, 2011 by discreet
