5,000 likes is pretty irrelevant on it's own. It's not the likes, it's the like:post ratio that separates the men from the boys...

Not knocking (other than to say, 'counting likes?? Seriously???'), yours is very high at 74%...

If we're counting likes seriously, like, then it's worth pointing out that the Like function is relatively new, and some amongst us who are well-established on the board accrued a substantial post count before the Likes were introduced.

I wonder if the dislike button was still active and nullified one-for-one the Likes how many Likes the OP would still have. Suspect JT would use up his daily quota of dislikes pretty quickly.

Oho....controversial!

Bragging about being at top of the likes is absurd. All it takes for someone with lots of posts is just one assistant playing a silly game to pour them on, day after day after day, liking most anything just for the numbers game to make sure the assisted is ALWAYS on top. TB has made a thing about vainly bragging about of a thing that is NO thing. Reminds me of what Gertrude Stein said about Oakland.

The likes button is a good thing BUT it should be accompanied by a dislike one too. Would save me getting into trouble at times . As I recall when we had the dislike thingy there were only a few silly billy's fooling with it, though one or two members did get upset.

Lets have a poll.

If you like a post first then after you can dislike your own like.. Good enough? Cant see the point in that.

You're getting to the point JT, if you take a close look at the likes log there is indeed a certain pattern.

An even more obvious pattern is the poster, which is actually in the same circle, with the 300% likes to posts ratio.

Lets have a poll.

Knock yourself out.

Why ?

Before we had a red button and it told you who disliked your comment, you could also see who the silly bill's were , for me one is useless without the other cos it does not show a balanced view from all the readers.

Yeah. It's not rocket science.

a 1% ratio is also amazing!

I like that idea. A 'like' button and an 'erse' button would be so much better than a boring 'like' & 'dislike' button...

How's this idea?
Wipe ALL the likes.

Every poster gets to give ONLY one like a day.

No more than one like to the same poster each week. Largely diluting the nepotism factor.

Add them up, and the end of the year, the top three liked get large CASH prizes.

Now that would be something.

Indeed. No more daft than bragging about most likes in the current system though.

Wiping might be interesting...

But the rest of the idea is awfull.

I like to post but i dont post to like.

Why not brag, just a bit of fun for most , but I say again, the dislike button showed the whole picture from all sides.

Ah i am relatively new here but i understand now why the dislike button was removed..

Seems a few complained about getting dislikes for no apparent reason. As I recall.

You don't recall very well about what actually was happening.

I have a feeling I'm going to regret this but for the benefit of those of us who weren't around when there was a dislike button, why don't you enlighten us as to 'what actually was happening'?

Vindictive chaos....years of hurt and anger were being unleashed on a daily basis.

It was brilliant!

Yes, lets hear it JT.

No. It's a dead topic.

Oh now it's been build up too much . Come'on..

This has nothing to do with forum support as there is no question regarding forum operation or anything broken except perhaps the op. Moved to the pub or the narcissism thread.

What's wrong with being narcissistic.

If you have to ask ...

Give it a by with the trolling Jingthing .......the ignore button is your friend

Calling someone a troll is the new trolling. Haven't you heard?

If everyone following this celebration thread gives TB all their likes for a month, how soon does he reach 10,000, and then we can enjoy a 10,000 thread!

No. It's a dead topic.

So you're forcing us to guess?

My guess is that some naughty users were 'salting' the system by 'disliking' everything other users said, and that you were a victim of this.

The problem with that is that artificially inflated dislikes are as easy to spot as artificially inflated likes - making getting upset about either somewhat puerile...
