Please vote to keep or remove the likes system
--
The likes system allows users to thank a user for their post, this can be used to replace agree/yes/like type single word posts or to let the poster know you found their post valuable.
The like feature is available in the bottom right corner of each post on the forum, just click "like".
I 'like' the like feature, but having the Liked count under a users name seems a bit wanky to me

Measure your coffin. Does it measure up to your lust?

In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.

I'm jealous Barfy has 147 likes and I've only got 44. I shall have a rant or summat...

Can we have a dislike feature too please?
Keep it, only been trolling this forum a little while and my stats are good.
Means I only talk shit 49 out of 50 times.
Agree with 7/8 & Barfy - keep the Like system but get rid of the Like "count" under the user names. Only a matter of time before it becomes another "rep" system.
likes/rep is always a recipe for circle jerking, drama and whatnot.
keep it! forums without drama are boring.
I like the like, and I like it just the way it is.
A "don't like" would probably be good too...
Captain Starfish is currently pimping:
Need your home theatre installed? MS Tech
Looking for awesome walls in your house? Custom Walls
Like scuba diving? UWA Underwater Club
Liking and quoting and mentioning this Davey
I think keeping the bit in the profile so you can see where you were liked is good but not the counter under the user's avatar, it just makes me feel inadequate. Overall though I like the idea.
Is such a thing even possible?
is almost as annoying as the way an @ symbol is put before peoples names. this aint twitter.
Refugee and Humanitarian Issues: Australia's Response
*Department of Immigration and Citizenship*
There is no offence under Australian law that criminalises the act of arriving in
Australia or the seeking of asylum without a valid visa.
Pro: Nice to know who is agreeing with you and get an idea of concensus for your idea, and who enjoyed a good belly-laugh.
Con: Keeping a tally under the avatar favours the more frequent poster and doesn't always reflect the quality of the post, e.g. likes that are given ironically to people who post how much they hate the like feature, likes given to a mate because they're posting about going on a ride you're going on, likes given about the event written, not the way it was written.
It would be like everybody liking me (and adding to my count) just because I was the person who first posted that Rob Johnson had been in a freak gardening accident. That hardly makes me an asset to the forum (unless I caused the accident, now that's another story)
Dislikes have also been suggested, but they could also be miscontrued by their ultimate use, e.g. a user sympathises with and dislikes hearing of the misfortune of their mate - responding to comments such as "no longer in, bike broken", "my kids are really crook at the moment".
It's not actually disagreeing with or disliking the opinion or suggestion of the user, so not a fair representation.
Keep the likes, remove thee-penis measurementlikes count
In terms of feedback without fear or favour, I would love to have the yellow sticker tab viewable for all users.

And since likes are only a bit of harmless fun, any chance they can be added to the blogs?

I like the like. I like the score on your profile too. Possibly it will get some of the brain-fart posters to put a bit more thought into posts or at least make them more funny. Possibly not.
If you're going to have a like feature then you have got to bring in a dislike feature too.
I won't use the like button until there is a dislike button. I should be able to acknowledge a good/funny/informative post as well as let someone know they are being a fuckwit without getting barfied!
Cant have one without the other like salt & pepper, ham & cheese, yin & yang, bacon & eggs etc....
I have fuckall likes...
Fuck the system. Ditch it
FOREVER RIDINGWITH "DAVO" - FarRider #1
..and will you take your footy home if no-one lets you kick a goal?
"Son, could you please remove my MAD sig?"
Sure mum, here you go....
It's entirely possible to "let someone know they are being a fuckwit without getting barfied" and has been done before. You just need to be a little more wordy about it and less directly insulting. Also, I think it's unfair to call receiving an infraction "getting barfied", he's not the only one handing out yellows and you make it sound like he's just an arsehole.
Deb summed it up nicely for me, saved me thinking too hard, keep the like, get rid of the count.
It's not a popularity contest and those poor souls who need to be loved will just go back to their posts to check anyway.
No need for a dislike button, liking a post is one thing, no need to elucidate but I think a dislike should be put into words so the recipient of your venom knows why.
