Doctor J Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I like it but it ain't that big a deal either way. Please don't dislike me.

chrismuzz Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I like being able to "Like" people's posts without having to write a reply sometimes as I'm incredibly lazy
xgsjx Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Vote? I'm a bassist. I don't vote! OK, go on then. Just this once..... I don't know, can we have multiple choice?
Ou7shined Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1321730252' post='1442579'] Aherm. Works the same with a woman too. And yes, of course you're correct. However, you do get a glimpse of what each person is like from the way they write - it may take a little while, but even your most monosyllabic posts contribute to creating an image of you for those who take the time to notice. I am a member of several local forums, and we have regular real life meetups, and my impressions of each poster's character have been relatively correct so far. It's harder to imagine someone's physical aspect (unless they provide a photo), but sometimes you can sort of guess that too! [/quote] Spot on. Like.

Therefore together they outweigh the neggs [/quote] Ooooh - I've heard of this I think - is this that proportional misrepresentation thing the politicos were trying to sell us last year?

charic Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 You've lost me Mr icastle, ill be honest I don't really follow politics lol
icastle Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I've got to say I don't really see the point in the whole 'like' 'dislike' thing at all. If someone likes what I say then fair enough, I'm not going to run naked up and down Main Street to celebrate the fact. If someone doesn't like what I say then that's their opinion and they're entitled to it even if they are obviously a sausage on a stick short of a buffet. I personally think it's just a way of feeding the warped egos of the archetypal internet 'warriors', and the fact that someone has opened a fake account so they can 'like' their own posts really illustrates that far better than mere words.
leschirons Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I have just voted to deactivate the system. Personally I can't see the point in anyone needing the opinions of members as to whether they like or dislike another member. That's surely just a personal view. If you dissagree with a post or someone's views, just say so! But that should make no difference to how you feel toward someone, especially if you've never met them. However, if this facility should remain in place, I'd just like to make it clear that I really like fluffy kittens and would like to use my bass playing to put an end to world conflict and all known diseases.

Soliloquy Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Can someone explain what this is actually about, 'cos I haven't the slightest idea . Likes and dislikes what ?

Vibrating G String Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 [quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1321702495' post='1442115']What I do think is a waste of space is the endless lists of every single bit of kit a person owns - or worse still a huge list of every artist a person listens to - there should be a limit to the number of lines that can occupy. [/quote]I think no post should go through that is shorter than the signature
Big_Stu Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I'm not falling for that - it's just a ruse to get me to change my settings back to "view signatures". I don't use a signature - I write an X in wax crayon & put a big thumb-print next to it.

[/quote]That a mod would be heavily dropping hints and comments about it shows that the system is already being abused and far from anonymous. This particular mod has an argument with me in another thread and I feel this is being used to win that. I've already been told by one mod that I will be banned if I say anything negative about a mod. Yeah reputation system My girlfriend opened an account to mock the whole thing. So you have a slander issue that's factually wrong. Sure she did it to protect me but am I going to tell her to stop as the internet is a scared place and people will get totally bent out of shape if you mock them? I'm sure there's no way this will be rectified short of simply silencing me. So long and thanks for all the fish.
Vibrating G String Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1321658065' post='1441831']Already we know of one member (not a mod) who created a separate profile so they could like their own posts under the other profile and then asked why we were taking issue with their posts when they were liked so many times...but my lips will remain sealed...they know who they are. [/quote]Since you're only choice here is to ban or admit you may have been wrong I'll go down in flames. Your lips haven't remained sealed, you're gossiping and trying to make personal attacks with supposedly private information. And If I can't talk about all the people who have liked my posts as testimonial for my reputation then what's the point of a popularity contest? I've only used it for what you yourself said it's purpose was. You've already said you will moderate which likes and dislikes stay based on your opinion of their validity. Maybe a pet would satisfy these needs better? Edited November 20, 2011 by Vibrating G String
