Clumsy rockyroad1 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 When this forum was upgraded, members were now allowed to like posts. Previously, it was restricted to staff members only. I wish you didn't do this upgrade. arkwright and Puzzles 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn the Human Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Well maybe that was what the staff wanted to be in the upgrades. I personally think that its great that everyone likes posts unless this gets out of hand. EDIT: I am going to test this liking out. ~Xandria 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Actually, that was independent from the upgrade, and planned since last January. I'm curious as to why you think it was not a good idea. Most people seemed eager to be able to like post and we have limited the amount of likes per member groups, so someone brand new on the forums can't like as much as a staff member can for instance.

And for some reason you can like your own posts. That is something that creeps me out. But I still think its a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I removed them though. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxen Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Personally I think it's great that we can like posts now ^^ The limits are really good as well. Hopefully I'll be a Fantastic Member soon :K Mouseykins, Jacky, Finn the Human and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pchau123 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I feel like liking a post is for Facebook :3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 It might be easier to call it Liking than finding another term that will be understood as universally as Like is. Liking posts is just a reputation system. It makes it possible to see what posts were deemed to really have great and helpful information, which is great for those looking for information on certain topics, where they aren't sure what might be best.

Xepha Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 And I can tell you that seeing that others have liked what you posted is a great reward too :P (They could have liked it because it was helpful, because it was the same answer they would have said or just because it was incredibly funny :P) Also, it's impossible to go negative in the reputation system.

How. Is there also an unlike button than I did not see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Valentine Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Xepha meant that we can't "Dislike" posts (so we can't reduce someone's reputation points). You can remove your "Like" to a post after "Liking" it - an "Unlike" button will take the place of the "Like This" button.

Rebecca~ Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I am very excited by this update! :D -flails- ~Xandria and Emily 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinosawr Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Yeah! Now people who post totally amazing stuff get the liking they deserve, and now i don't have to type "If I could 'like' this I would" :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clumsy rockyroad1 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Now 5 people liked me in 1 day. That is crazy. I think I can get 100 easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 A lot of people dislike the "7 word rule." You can now use the like button to show your support for someone rather then trying to think up 7 words. FTR, likes for the whole forum were turned on before the upgrade. It's just that no one noticed any of our hints :P Rebecca~, Emily, Mouseykins and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 oooh I love liking posts XD I've been trying to click those buttons for weeks now LOL Emily and Dinosawr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haliaetus Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Yay! There's always been some posts I see now and then that I've always had the desire to like. Glad I can do it now! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbash Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I think it's a really cool feature and I'm glad it was added. It's always made me feel good when a staff member has liked my post and now I can do that for others as well. And the way I see it, if people don't like at least they don't have to like posts.

Jacky Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Maybe there is a way to make liking a post an option? Say, someone doesn't want to be liked, then they can turn it off, but in turn they can not like other people's posts either...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 No one has to use it. We're not going to ban anyone for not using the like button, promise :D If you don't like it (heh), you definitely don't have to use it if you don't want to :) Dinosawr, jumpingbeans, complicatedwishes and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
