Lando posts so much BS he can't even keep track of it…..

dislike

oh, can we get a dislike function 

Currently discussing/working on it.

OMG not because of my comment!!!

Can you imagine all the dislikes!!!???

[Giles]

I think the only way we can implement a dislike is to be able to dislike something that you have already liked…..

Loving the 'Like' function now. For future posts only though. Otherwise I'd have to 'Like' every Geo post…

Currently working on that as well. Also, been going back through threads and liking old posts that deserved recognition long ago.

I'm liking the like button more every day! Great addition.

[jimmy]

i like!

[llvlaglne]

lol i was thinking it'd be a great idea if "likes" can increase your level here on the forums

[injunjack]

I'm starting to hate this liking thing….I don't dig.
(and only real posts should increase level, well, actually it doesn't matter to me, I'm not here to collect rep or whatever)

[Giles]

My personal view is that hitting the like button is cleaner than typing +1 or whatever.

The post count is performed by the software, it does not have the intelligence to decide whether a post is "real" or not.

[Max Power]

^^ I agree, IJ. Didn't hit like though This like-thing (and especially the accounting of posts) is Sufu style and it always meant more to me when I got a nice comment or PM than a "like", that is spread out easily. A forum offers the chance of expressing opinions and I prefer that over hitting a button.

[Giles]

Again, I agree.  But hitting the Like button has to be better than +1'ing.  The Like effectively should replace +1 and lead to cleaner threads.

[Max Power]

^On this, i agree as well. A +1 doesn't mean much either

[jimmy]

Agree with G the whole +1 post gets tiresome. The like button is great for a lazy guy like me.

I never care for post counts etc, in fact I never really look at it till now and sh!t I posted a lot

All flatterers must be shunned.

[georgeel]

I tried this "like" thing, and I think it's too facebookish. But perhaps it can be a good thing. I'll see.

[Giles]

So we have given this a reasonable trial and I think on balance it really has not added any value,  So we're going to get rid of it.

Shoque disable it please.

The Mod Squad would greatly appreciate it if you do not revert to such things as +1, great, Nice etc.  I know that I am as guilty of this as anyone, but I am going to try and be good and keep to constructive comments…

[elclintor]

Really?  I kinda like the "like" feature…
