thumbs up or thumbs down
03/16/11 8:19 pm | #1
How about an option to "like" a topic, post, or even another member.... okay maybe not the member. I was thinking something like a thumbs up or thumbs down kinda thing like they do on Youtube. This way, the more popular topics are easier to access for members of the site. Thoughs anyone?

That would just lead to threads being voted down because people don't get along on this site.
Good point mud. Never mind peeps. Maybe this was a bad idea.

Yeah, that's the problem. People don't like to go and post how they disagree, so they just thumb down. IMO a Dislike/Like system would work better, with the availability to see who likes/dislikes a post just like FB.

Yes, but just seeing who likes or dislikes something doesn't add anything to the site. If you dislike something say it with words not a stupid little like/dislike button.
True, but it just seems like a lot of people like to hide behind the thumbs.

Well it would just be changing them hiding behind thumbs to them just putting their name out there. No other explanation for their feelings would be given.
It would probably stop a lot of it though. As it would show if the exact same person thumbs down every single post another member makes. It would have their name there, to show that it is abusing the system.
