Idk I just think it's a kinda nice idea that could fall into misuse territory but honestly... the level of repetitive fighting in certain sections on here... you could arrange for a food hamper to be delivered to every member and some would find a way to throw it at each other, it seems silly to dismiss a reasonably innocuous feature because it may - just may - get misused.

Anything to cut down on [2] or ^this or posts is welcome imo. I just see this as something to be used to express support and agreement rather than brown nosing.

This.

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.

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
