StreetCowboy Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 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.

Tywais Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

transam Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Lets have a poll. Knock yourself out. Why ? 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. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobl Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Istherenae'erse'button onthis forum? I like that idea. A 'like' button and an 'erse' button would be so much better than a boring 'like' & 'dislike' button... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) 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.

Exsexyman Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 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.

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... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
