A trial run perhaps?

This. :hehe:

But yeah, the feature would simply be another way of doing what can already be done..... agree with a post. So fighting or not, a thumbs up/like feature is not going to change it.

It would be like deleting the serious debates section, because some debates turn into all out arguments. People just need to get on with it.

But wouldn't that apply now with people wanting to get replies/quotes?

Attention seekers and their attention seeking threads/posts (not naming any names) happens regardless of what features are available. :laugh:

I can see why you wouldn't really mind if people like your post or don't but that's sort of the point I think. It isn't really an important feature, it's not as if there'd be rewards doled out for "most likes of the month!" (oh god I've put that idea in someone's head now :worry:)... I don't know, I guess it could massage the egos of some and make them think "well I'm getting 10 likes every time I say something bad about [X Housemate] so let's carry on", but I can't really see it being that big a deal to anyone.

To use the Facebook example, I don't know of anyone who does 'fish' - but that might be because I'm a bit strict with who I do and don't follow and see on my timeline :laugh: - it's become more of a "like what's funny / good news about a family member or friend / a shared article or song or video" feature rather than anything to do with popularity.

I mean if we're talking about fishing for compliments and likes then surely Most Loved is the biggest problem on here.

"liking" the idea

That as my thinking when I suggested it. It would enhance some of the thread and remove the pointless posts agreeing with something that is already said. Just like I have done to your post now.

It might be good for my post count but doesn't add much to the debate when I could just have liked your original post and not bothered to quote it.

As long as there isn't a silly likes accumulator like the post count put on our profiles I don't see how competition could arise?

Here for the likes feature being implemented and people getting infracted for continuing to post "This". :hehe:

Was there not something like this ages ago. Think it was called Karma?

This; ^; . and [2] >>>>

That wasn't the same thing in the slightest. :laugh:

Oh I dont know, I jsut remember when I joined everyone was Karma this and Karma that? :laugh:

This is much more simple, it is just a button like in Faceache or Twitter. Nothing needs to be recorded other than the number of times the button has been pressed on a post.

You make a system that doesn't even record who pressed the button in a way that is visible on the post, or a system where the users names are only recorded on the post itself.

No global counters of how many times a person has pressed the button since they joined need to be recorded at all.

A cheeky spill!

Tbf I would be winning the most liked post all of the time so it's not fair on the other members on here.

I think a lot of the replies to my post have proven the point.
Bad idea thank you for proving it correct. Too easy :clap1:

If you're on about mine then it's clear that I'm joking.

But personally I wouldn't like this feature as it does make it become too cliquey and people trying to impress the "majority" feeling on the site.

It's not a good road to go down so I personally wouldn't do it.

Yes you!!!!!!!! :laugh:




No not really Mock it was clear you were joking :laugh:

Someone that understands my humour.:dance::joker:

Apart from arguing over BB hms, TiBB seems a lot calmer than a year ago or so with less arguments. It would just be a nice feature to have instead of [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] taking up half a page.

Why is poor [7] [8] [9] [10] & [11] being ignored for?

so every time a liberal "identifies problems but can never offer solutions" poster posts all the others just like their post and everytime a closet kkk loving neo-nazi vile racist xenophobic woman hating homophobe like kirk me or cherie post we just thumbs up each other?


I am here for doing that to Cherie but Kirk, not so much

:smug:

I agree and it might make threads more tidy actually instead of lots of people quoting the same post and putting a clapping smiley after it, the post appreciation could be contained in the like button

Yes but I am not here for someone posting like

"well I love everyoine and think babies and mums are great and i love puppies and flowers and every immigrant is running from certain death and should be given a 3 bed house in Highgate and all homeles people are legit and isnt life amazing and so it Hilary clinton and unicorns"

and all the younger, non-life-jaded members who are yet to see the world for what it really is giving it millions of thumbs up


:nono:

Why fix what's not broken?
