Can we get some likes?

Skins_Brew · Dec 5, 2014

I am pretty sure that the VBulletin software supports a feature where people can like or dislike a post. It would be EPIC if we could get this on MDS. I would love to see the number of likes and dislikes certain posts get!

We have a "thanks" button on my other home. It's good in the sense that it reinforces the principle of not saying anything at all if you don't have anything nice to say. But it does have a tendency to turn folks against each other by revealing who is allied with who.

Yea, on a few other forums I visit, they have a few options, and all are vbulletin.

One has the thanks, which is awesome in itself.

The other allows people to ELITE a post, like a post, or even Dislike a post. The dislike option would be fun around here

I think you can disable viewing who liked or disliked a posted, so it would keep things kinda clean. Although, things have been getting dirty quickly around here lately!

I don't think they need that here. The cons outweigh the pros IMHO.

I like the "like". My other home away from home has it and it's a great way to subtly "comment" without commenting...

When I read post on FB and someone post that they are sick or other bad news, I feel weird clicking the like icon. I like that they are letting me know but at the same time I dislike that they are sick. :shrug:

I think that feature only reinforces groupthink and cliques.

I don't like it.

I think we'd end up saying Yikes about adding Likes, if we did.

IMO, it has the potential to be more divisive than collaborative.

Entertainment value might be enticing though.

I think that we have a "like" button already.
It is the Report button

.
By default, if it is not clicked, your post could be considered liked.
