Like and Dislike Buttons

Well the like/dislike button comes in handy when some unbelievably bad shit, like the  new warriers/Gotham high, or anything with queen bree pops up, at least the normal people of the world can show there dissatisfaction with this shit being deepthroated down there necks.

Dragonbane, heyas! :)

I do like the idea of a post counter.  Or even being able to see how long somebody has been a member.  It gives a good idea of whether they are somebody who has invested some time and effort into being a member of a site/community.   As well as being able to get some indication of whether it’s an alt account or not.

I guess this last part just comes from having been on the staff side of things, but I actually like to see it when I’m on one my usual hangouts on the ‘net, and I see somebody who has been a member of the site for a couple of years, or a lot of years, and still actively engaging with other members.  It’s the warm fuzzies LOL.

Heyas Afcpt1 :)

I think, that in cases like what you’re talking about, it would be a cool idea to be able to have a poll in the thread of the post.  Which, actually… expands on the types of responses that people can give, other than just like/dislike.

Forum Polls allow people to put in their opinion, based on the options the thread maker adds to the poll, while also allowing people to further expand on that by posting to the comments section of the thread.

Generally speaking about the like and dislike button on social media, I don’t trust the ratings on any post, cus let’s say you a huge audience like you have 14 million followers subscribers or whatever, no matter what say people will agree will you, that doesn’t mean you are right they are just your fans trying to back you up and maybe they don’t agree with you they just want to support you, and by seeing all those likes retweets or whatever it might affect other people’s opinions cus they will be like oh wow many people agree maybe he’s right, you know what I mean, you can say the most craziest shit like let’s kick white men out of office and replace with some illegal immigrants and if you have huge audience you will get support lol

I prefer the point system that Reddit has over like/dislike. I feel like it better encourages good posts and discourages bad ones. You also can tell people who consistently give good insight into topics which is useful when you are new to a community or trying to find information about a specific thing.
