smokie36 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I was skeptical...but I have to say this new function is excellent. Yes I remember you indicating your dislike for the like button when the like button was announced, you indicated that you disliked the concept of like as the idea of having a like button had been tried before with consequences that you disliked. However now that we have a like button you are starting to see that it is a likeable function so therefore your previous dislike has now dissipated to the point that you can admit liking the function, and you dislike admitting that you have changed your mind. In summary.......you have Selective Like Disorder. However we like your posts cos your a likeable kind of guy. I hope you don't dislike this post. regards theblether. I'm becoming a legend in my own inflated balloon. God help me if I fart on the plane tomorrow. In business class as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sing_Sling Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Can we now have a 'dislike' button? Nah, no-one would like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) I would like a dis-like button too as perhaps it would stop some of the rudeness on the forum. I can see also how it might get abused so it would have to be limited as to how many times it could be used as well. I would be nice if there was like a Karma system and both positive and negative would effect it. People could give you Karma points as well as take points away. I have seen this system on others sites and seemed to work quite well. Not sure how it would fit in here though since some folks can be very nasty indeed. One system I've seen in forums uses a thanks button instead of a liked button. Then there is also a way to give neg rep points but not nearly as easily as clicking the thanks button. Then you get a basic score in your profile and next to your name when you post. Edited March 3, 2012 by Jayman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 It just occurred to me a that it would be great of we had both pos/neg karma buttons and then could just ignore posts based on them having certain low karma levels. That way those that were just negative nillys and had nothing constructive to add would get filtered out very easily by those that didn't want to see posts from non helpful posters. I think it would very much change the experience here at TV. It might even have impact of those that chose to post oll that negativity as they would soon find themselves standing alone in the corner. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the like function has had a positive impact I've noticed. People are generally happier and more effusive than normal. Bendix return is a welcome sign as well. Hopefully we're back in the good old days...or heading there.... Cheers George by the way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Is this like button connected to the Facebook likes? If I like something here, does that generate some sort of post on Facebook saying Canuckamuck likes xyz...

hellodolly Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I think the limit is to stop people clicking "Like" on every post they see without thinking about whether they do really like it or not. Having a limit means you have to be a bit more sparing with your likes, and so a bit more thought goes into it. How many likes are you allowed to have a day.
