How many "LIKES" do you have and how many have you given?

[Benzin]

I'm thinking I should go check out some other forums now!

I wont. they dont have the extra-cool "like" button.

 

[Benzin]

I don't see that much difference between "Like" and "Thanks". The "Thanks" I've seen is usually when some product has been offered (warez).

Maybe this forum should be retittled "Get Your Likes Here".

​

I usually see that "thanks" feature on programming / tech advice forums.
I HATE piracy/warez, so i never use those "thanks" buttons on those sites! i just hit the "download now" one!. oh wait... i mean...

... Maybe this forum should be retitled "Get Your Likes Here".

​

Definitely wasn't my intention when I started this thread .... but it's certainly a positive outcome IMHO.

I'm going to "rate this thread" as EXCELLENT

I agree!

Wow this thread has 1223 likes so far.

I own 3 Provari's ..... that alone should get me at least 100 "Likes" ... thankfully, we don't have a "Dis-Like" button ... cuz that same statement would probably earn me 200 "Dis-likes"

My point exactly! thats why i dont like it.
IMO this feature leads to inferences. Because it gives means to somehow "difereciate" peoples participation.
E.G. As you see i dint hit "Like" on your reply. you (or someone else) might infere that i dint like or cared about what you said. While the truth is that i DID care about it. Maybe i just forgot to use the like feature, or dont use it at all.
If i were to hit the like button on your reply, then i would have to do it for every other reply! otherwise people might infere that i dint like theirs! lol
So why add the "extra step" to reply to a thread?

The moral to all of this is: If a person pays attention to the perceived value of their posts and even remotely cares if someone else likes it or not, then that person should GET.A.LIFE.

Also, they should check out some self esteem forums. I'm sure there are some out there somewhere?

I know, boo...hiss...on Tina. I'm sooooo mean. I get it. Of course all of this is just my own opinion. You can PM me hate messages if you want, lol.

Seeing that you're a Provari owner .... YOU GET A "LIKE"!

booo!!!
hiss!!!
You got private hate messages.

Now seriously, i agree with what you said. One must to have self esteem problems to pay any importance to this. But why put a feature that serves no other purpuse but to upset low self esteem people?

ok ok ill stop! xD

Have you ever been on a forum like ECF without a "Like" button?
My experience is that every post is followed with empty posts of "thanks", happy faces or something similar. I won't do those forums anymore. Trust me, having a "Like" button makes for a much neater forum, whether you choose to use it or not.

I also assume most people here are adults and can take being "liked" or not. Sometimes I won't just because my internet is dodgy that night. If someone is that sensitive, they probably won't last long on any message board; ECF or Facebook.

I am glad there's no "Dislike" button.

Good point about the "thanks"! i agree that 50 replies with simleys and "thanks" look messy, but thats about the ONLY use i can see for the "Like" button. And even then, why no put a "Thanks" button instead? ibe seen forums with that feature.

WELL THEN - "THANKS" - Seeing how much . . . "You" - "Like" Them . . . I know now neither One of "You" would go searching out "My" Post . . .

8-o

AND - This is only some of what ECF offers . . . I Can ADD So Many More . . . Just Sayin' . . . ​

It's nice to see someone with a lot of likes given and received with such a low post count. It indicates to me that when you do post, it's something our members find helpful, informative, insightful, and or humorous. Keep it up!

...

Because if it Wasn't the "Like " feature, it would be Something Else.

That, and the "Reasonably" Well Adjusted People Like it.

Don't want to Rain on the Parade.

But you do know that there is a Place on the ECF where your Post Count Doesn't Increase when you Post there?

You learn something new everyday. Thanks!

Regardless of post count though, with that many number of likes, it's obvious that quiter is a good contributor to the forum
