Like system

[Mike Wheeler]

Has anyone considered giving users the ability to "like" posts on this site? I think it would be interesting. I also think it would be a cool idea to also show which users liked other users' posts. It's just an idea, though. I'm not too familiar with computer programming, and if it's too hard to set up that feature, I understand.

NOPE

It's been suggested multiple times in the past, but all times basically rejected it in the end.

No thanks.

All this would lead to is problems.

i think a newer smf version incorporates this by default so thats probably the reason we never updated (correct me if wrong, im not sure if that version was even released yet)

I've argued for one before. Would still like one but I can't see it happening.

There's plenty of existing mods for it

Meh, I'm not a huge fan of like systems.

 

[Time Turner]

in a community like this all it'll do is foster contempt for people with more likes and create outsiders for people with less likes

It would be a great system to add, but as as long as there is not a dislike system, that'll cause some shit to go on through the site. On another forum I am on personally, there is a like system that is used over time when other users agree with ideas shared on the forum. I personally don't care about getting likes on posts if it was implemented here, but it would be interesting to see be added.

All I'm thinking is that it may spiral into a contest and create tension between users.
