Being able to "Like" or "Dislike" People's Posts and Threads

[Starvin'_Marvin]

I know this isn't facebook but it's pretty convenient to instead of comment on someone's post or status, be able to just press a button to like or dislike it. I know facebook lacks the latter but if you were able to establish it, this would be a convenient way to rate threads and people's posts. Say someone has a lot of dislikes then that could make their rep go down? I thought very loosely about this as you can tell

We have a star rating system, so there's really no point.

Not a feasible addition to VB - there's no mods that will achieve anything similar to this idea. You also forget we rely on Matthew to do the majority of coding, and he's pretty darn stripped for time as is.

 

This still isn't a social networking site.

i'm tired of seeing it on fb. definitely don't want to see it on sythe.

As I dont think it will happen, I would prefer it to the stars

It would be cool, but it's not exactly a needed update to keep the site going or make anything easier/cleaner.

 

[Smellex]

It's not facebook.. Although I'd love FaceBook more if you could quote comments..

Tacky and unneeded. It's a glorified support button or whatever they call them. Rep or yeah. No support.

google is hard. (inb4 that mod is 4.x; it works on 3)



Anyways, I think it'd be too much clutter so no support.

Eh I was picturing more of what the Facebook function is - I've seen that mod that you linked implemented on other forums, and the way it's laid out and recorded is different.

If you really like someone you could just put their name in your signature?

Otherwise there is still the thread rating that people already ignore.

I don't like this idea, Sorry.

This does not fit the general attitude of Sythe at all. I don't support.

Go to other forums if you think this is a useful addition to the community.

I don't think it's referring to whether you like people, more so if you like peoples posts.

He's only making a suggestion. Also, he's new to the site. Telling him leave the site because you don't like his suggestion is not giving him a friendly welcome is it.

Good to see, someone with a bit of common sense

OT: I don't support too tacky and seriously how hard is it to post "agreed"
or "I like this"

Sythe added something like this a while ago: http://www.sythe.org/showthread.php?t=210810

It was removed for being abused (namely, members who were disliked by a large group of people had their posts persistently downrated). It will not be readded because we can't trust you to use it correctly.
