No, and agree with what the others said, liking is more for facebook

[Ramsay]

Loads of other forums have it and they're better off with it

this
seen it in action on other forums and it works, boosts involvement etc

[RileyH]

something being added to the forum? :eek:

[Matthew.]

nah, can’t see it doing any good, also it would turn into a popularity contest too

[Oliver_W]

Maybe a full ratings system could be fun, like on a forum which shan't be named:

[Smithy]

There used to be karma and it didn’t work well

I feel like a like button would just reduce people posting bc they just like a post instead of contributing?

[RileyH]

easier than quoting a post with .

[Alf]

If you have a like button. then you have to have a hate button. It's democratic.

[Matthew.]

A bad idea tbh

I would like a hate button :hee:

It's actually a win for the mods... a post that gets gets quoted 10 times with clap emojis and what not... that they then need to delete... saves time to just delete the one instead of the 11

[Crimson Dynamo]

This isn't a kids site

It's what she deserves

Most modern forums nowadays have these features

Is that against the rules, or do they do it to reduce clutter? A fair mount of forums have a rule that responding with just emojis/gifs/single words in "serious" sections result in some form of infraction.

[Alf]

It's for attention seeking, ego maniacs.






Yeah! Let's have one.

More like things taken away - like buttons are crap ! speak if you want or stay silent .

I think it is maybe against the core rules on here... but they dont enforce it unless the original post is being deleted for another reason

[Beso]

No.. good idea. But selfishly I would have to say no.

To begin with it may slow the forum where people just like something rather than reply to it...then you would get the women having to like it, AND reply..then the likes of me who have already liked it but end up posting and hating it.....


Far to transparent and tacky for my liking...no thank you JAMES.

[arista]

We had that
with Rate a thread - amount of stars.

It was stopped by Admin.

Good point, that

I love epicmafia

[Josy]

I saw a forum lately and it had a reaction button, kinda like on fb where you click on the like button and a row of reactions pops up, that could be pretty cool

[Josy]

James is going to check this out and see what if anything can be added once the vbulletin version is updated

Thank you for all the updates James and Josy :love:

but why, when they gave us the wrong changes

[Vicky.]

Of course, don't see why you couldn't.

I am indifferent on this like button thing, like usual. But the karma system was basically a like button and that went a bit tits up. But I guess this was years ago, and there might not be people abusing it now.

[Shaun]

I think the difference between this feature and karma was that "Karma" was a once-per-hour thing that could be altered regardless of post. I know it was commonplace for people to just perpetually plus or minus people every hour for being friends / annoying. I think this would be much more post-based and - if Josy / Oliver's suggestion of a react button is to be believed - a lot more spontaneous and relevant to the posts themselves. I can't see anyone really letting 15 likes on a TiBB post go to their head :laugh:

Edit: Plus I think Karma was a literal thing that you could not hide from your profile with every post (unless you opted to turn it off): it would show up a thumbs-up or thumbs-down for every 10 plus/minus votes right underneath your avatar. Which obviously was the cause of the problem, because there'd be very obvious outcasts with "-150 karma" and 15 emoji under their name just hitting the point home that nobody bloody likes them :p

[Vicky.]

Hmm yeah good points.

As I said, not arsed either way anyway :laugh:

[Nicky91]

to reply myself i guess :laugh:


maybe i just have to adapt to these new forum changes

[user104658]

Anonymous reactions could be fun. Like buttons with "[username] likes this", from experience, end up being used to be snidey and ganghanded and IMO would definitely go that way here :umm2:

Like an upvote system? So you can see the post has for example 86 upvotes, but you can't see who's behind them?

That would work I guess

That would work I guessI was thinking more like FB where you can like/love/laugh/angry face etc.

Simple ups actually end up being a bit of a popularity contest too, e.g. if me and Marsh were arguing on a thread and I got 50 upvotes and he only got 4 he might feel bad about it.

[Matthew.]

What was the “Karma” feature?

This sounds better than just a like button
