JJGreen Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 No idea how many likes i have or how many posts i have. Cant see in the Tapatalk appSome poster told me he had 33 likes on a topic so his was more successful than mine. I was of the mind he wrote in a way to be populist and get aome Likes..but each to their own.I see some of the most intelligent and insightful posts on here get a few likes to the post while banal garbage gets twice the amount.

Rc2702 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I posted this before it did not get many likes but I watch it most days never fails to make me laugh. Watch it all the way through. The is worth more likes I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasg Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I was on this forum for a year before I realised that there was a like button. Who cares? Seriously? I do hit the like button now and again now I know about it but only it if somebody provides some sound advice or provides help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2702 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I was looking for that ignore button today could not find that on UI on android either. I do not get a leave and discard message warning either. I use the website I do not download anything. Not many give a f uck about likes I hope unless your one of those tit for tat one line warriors.

sipi Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Some of us aren't capable of producing an articulate sentence. But I agree, who cares. So here is another twist, if you go to someones profile you can give them 1 to 5 stars; just to make them feel all warm and fuzzy. (I just gave you 5 stars OP, and a "like") Edit... The "star" function is gone... Edited September 9, 2016 by sipi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just see who's 'reputation' is highest over the course of the year. And miss out on a couple of weeks of blatant, soul shriveling pandering (and all the $$ clicks that go with it)? Not on your life. Good idea, though. Edited September 10, 2016 by impulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't make me sleep any better or worse. Edit: And yes many people too take 'likes' seriously. And even more so 'dislikes'. I am senior staff on a large forum and back in the day we had a like/dislike/reputation system. People would get very upset over negative points and even stop posting or ask us senior staff to get involved. Lots of drama. Sometimes because a person was simply too easily upset, other times because people would gang-rape (bully) a person with negative points. Not worth it. Also saw this on various blogs that disable negative points because it prevented people from submitting comments. Well said. Why do people care? Is it some sort of personal validation that some unknown person out there likes what you posted? If they want a measuring tool, they should use Agree or Disagree. The thread would show the poster what the audience really thinks versus it one-sided. As Anotheruser said a poster might get 5 likes but could also get 500 dislikes. That is the real measurement gauge to find out if a poster adds value to a forum IMHO. In fact it might encourage some good reads. But to your edit comment Donutz, people are strange in merit systems. People do not like it when people tell others they "Do not like it" or they "disagree". They might stop coming and posting if they can't post stupid stuff that only gets them likes. Its like FB. Its all set up to be loves, hugs, kisses and super feel goods. when in fact that is all smoke and mirrors and delusional. I post what I feel is appropriate and is my opinion. I do however always try and post in a manner that is respectful and engaging and not one liners and demeaning. I also do not post in every thread. I visit TV on and off as I am usually outside doing something or working. TV is not my # 1 form of passing the time, in fact its somewhere between 7 to 10 which would align with my post count and my years as a member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it could gauge a few things? Even commentary could be anonymous for a time period? What impact may this have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
