maddzvk Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 right when the forum was upgraded Razzi also got the option to turn on or off the 'like this' button on each post. i begged him not to since i hate it, it makes it like facebook and i like how with out 'likes' people actually respond but eh. so heres a poll for who likes and dislikes the like this button 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Nut Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 I am on another forum that uses this, and I do think people just press 'like' rather than take the time to respond to a post. On the other betta forum I am on that does not have this function, you definitely get a lot more discourse even if it's just a sentence or two. Personally on a forum, I prefer if people tell me what they actually liked about a specific post rather than just click a button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddzvk Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 exactly. i feel the like button means there like oh i liked it so ash knows i read it. where as with no like button theyll be like ohhh ash your pictures are so pretty. wild guru. coccinas. squee cute. tanks look nice. small red fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lodo Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Is this the tick next to people's names I see on my phone? Is it wrong to like every comment posted as any post is a good post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenton Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 I think I'm with the rest here, turn it off - too much like FB and doesnt promote interaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neffy Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I vote no id prefer a comment like "nice" "thats great" then a like, I went to like this for the irony but An error occurred You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day T_T what a quota of 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Such a biased poll. What about an option to Like something when you have nothing to say? Hardly anyone was responding to Wild Nut's thread I thought at least she could get a few Likes. If people dislike Facebook so much why do they spend so much time there? Huh? Yeah... I gotcha now, haven't I? Fine. I'll go with the majority. I'll turn it off as soon as I can find it in the silly control panel. What about turning on the rating system instead of the Like button?

Lorraine1 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I kind of like the like button. at least you know someone out there has read what you have written. can be very hollow not knowing if someone has at least had the time to read your posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddzvk Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 The posts do come up with views as well as replies though. I like the idea of responding and when you have to actually write something it tends to turn into a nice comment Atleast ash and Brenton both routinely spend days (for a brief patch even weeks) talking mostly to themselves I also think likes can be misconstrued or weird its like well what did you like the content, my hilarious sense of humor, brilliant fortography etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Nut Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) It's okay just as long as I don't start answering my own posts. Or making up alters to make it seem as if I'm not that weird person posting by themselves in the corner It's okay just as long as I don't start answering my own posts. Or making up alters to make it seem as if I'm not that weird person posting by themselves in the corner I agree that is a very valid point you have made Wild Nut. Damn it wouldn't let me put my quote separate. Joke...ruined Edited November 18, 2013 by Wild Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadoh Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I actually like the "like" button. I have used it and I am also posting. Personally, I will not let a button dictate whether or not I will post a comment. Sometimes I felt that I was posting to myself in my spawn logs and a few "likes" here and there would have let me know people were following my posts and just not commenting... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Exactly my point. *LIKE* Besides I can't find how to turn it off easily without affecting other functionality (yet to come) like articles and galleries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 See? I liked your post AND posted a comment...lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 And if people have a chance to Like something they don't feel compelled to make a comment simply for the sake of making a comment like ooh, ahh, pretty. Quality instead of quantity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
