Like features are a nightmare on any forum... they inevitably end up being used for not-so-covert ganging up and very little else. I remember on my own forum (may she rest in peace) we had one for about 5 minutes. NOTHING but problems. Someone would post something a bit snippy and then a dozen tag-along-Tammys (the ones without the backbone to post anything confrontational for themselves) would "like" the post. Urgh. It should just be called the "Me Too Me Too!" function.

And the clapping emote should be changed to a little smug face chanting that.

I legitimately hate it. . **** off. Say something for yourself or don't bother to post at all. People will argue that it's a simple way of saying "I agree!". No one cares that you agree! Quote the post and say something interesting as to why you agree, or just leave the post to stand on its own two feet ffs.

It's not your forum to tell people how to post or when to post. If I want to use to indicate I agree with somebody I will

I wasn't trying to "tell people what to do", just having a little rant . If you want to post meaningless filler-posts to up your post count whilst being quickly scrolled past that's your business entirely

Maybe that's why your forum flopped? You only appreciate those that feel the need to go in depth on every post they make.

I'd hazard just as many who scroll past my posts also scroll past the insanely large ones some make to simply say they agree rather than just posting this gorgeous fella >

Your accusations of posting simply to up the post count doesn't make much sense either considering the most active forum is one you don't even get an increase in your post count.

I'll have you know it did not flop ... imagine posting such a thing purely to try to be hurtful . We simply ended up closing it because it wasn't worth the stress of dealing with all of the bitchiness in return for nothing but complaints. I'd imagine most forum admins can relate .

If people make "insanely large" posts just to say the same thing as the post they're quoting without elaborating at all, then yes, that's just as pointless (and even more of a waste of time) than mister clap-pants... ... ... ... ... ... ... but yeah, my opinion would basically be if you have no intention of adding anything to a debate thread then don't bother whooping, cheering or clapping. It serves no purpose other than to "get at people". That's the honest truth of the matter. I'm sure it's great to have in Chat and Games. You could have whole threads of people just clapping back and forward. And high fiving. And playing soggy biscuit or whatever. We don't need it clogging up the proper forums

I miss Kirk too, hopefully he'll come back and just needs a break.

I don't think that's true, most of the time people do just want to express that they like somebody's post (without having anything specific to add to it), it's nice for the person who's post has been acknowledged and just adds to a 'community' sense I think a lot of the time, people clap in real life too It doesn't have to be a post that's for everyone so scrolling past it is fine too obviously, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have any value or there's anything wrong with it. Yes some people might sometimes use it for obnoxious reasons as well but I don't think everyone should be judged by that.

Its a bloody emoticon, it doesn't represent every instance of dickish pack mentality you've ever come across on the internet. Most people use it perfectly innocently and it's absurd to be so wound up about it.

(And I said most, not all before someone decides to list off whenever someone did use it to be a dick).
