If you disapprove of someone's post, tell them that to their face, it's part of the enjoyment you can get out of a forum versus something like Reddit.
Jimnymebob LIKES thisAs it would be very useful.
If it's just technical or it's been discussed before apologies.
You know what would be useful? Emojis on thread's titles. Mods just won't let us use it.
Let's get real, people usually talk at each other, not to each other here.
Does reddit gold even do anything?
i think it gives you some stuff?
Incredibly well put, the like function is additive and reduces clutter overall. A virtual nod if you will. The sheer disdain and allergy to the very idea is just such a very boomer take on forum spaces.i wouldn't mind it, there's not a good way to show agreement/appreciation for a post or response to a question without just quoting said post or mentioning a poster, and it's just weird to constantly do it. I think the lack of such a system contributes to the feeling of constant negativity in the forum as people often only act /quote/mention someone in times of disagreement.
it's just a 'like' feature with no corresponding 'dislike'.
the Youtube system if you will. heh.

You put it perfectly and that's what I wanted to say with my previous post I now edited.it would be truly awful, and encourages self back patting amongst whoever you 'side with'.
Yep, and i've seen reddit mentioned a few times, but the system i've seen on another board implemented only has a like button and doesn't use the upvotes to rank ports, it's just additional feedback to show aggreement or appreciationI would like a feedback system for posts. It improves engagement between forum members. Any time I've seen it on forums it lets you know who's liked your post and gives an additional layer of interaction other than responding directly to that post.
Yep. Like, it's just pointless / messy for a forum.Please no. I just want a forum. We have good mods. Don't need a meta game. Ops already want lots of replies
