How about the ability to "like" or "+1" a post? ~~To prevent obvious abuse, you must have positive trust and seniority to vote.~~ A +1 should not give any advantage to a a post.

How about adding a rating beside each thread/post if someone likes his OP or comment?

It will look authentic in this forum because +1 and like features are more suitable in social networking sites rather than an independent forum where open discussions happen all the time.

What do you think Vod?

If you're suggesting that each +1 would add to a total per post/topic, then yes, that is what I'm suggesting.

may it also serve as a requirement, say a user needs to have atleast a number of liked post to be able to access some section.

Opens it up to abuse. I just want to show appreciation for a post.

This thread has the most replies and the most views of any in this section.

The majority of people feel it's a good idea.

The two largest social networks, Facebook and Google+, allow you to show appreciation for a post.

I'm curious to see if the developers will include it.

This would be a great feature. I know nodebb has this feature.

Well it is not 100% hackproof it gives users awareness of which posts are of value and which are bogus.

SMF already has this feature http://www.smfpacks.com/page/sa=likes

I'm in favor of liking/disliking posts (weighed by trust score&user rank), but not if it means the whole forum is aggregated liked posts. There could be a separate sub-forum, where content would be aggregated by this criteria, plus you could have settings to enable ignore all posts below certain threshold.

I recall Digg when it was a tech site with Kevin Rose just starting it, the voting system was manipulated to the point that a couple dozen people were always on the front page. This being a forum as opposed to a news aggregator, I don't see an issue with being able to like or dislike a topic or single post. I do see the potential of abuse via spam and advertising if the site were to have a prominent "most popular topics or posts" area. The up side would be similar to the trust system for trading here in finding quality people to follow in your areas of interest.

I doubt that such an area would be implemented if Vod's suggestion was added. That would, as you said, be paving the way for people abuse the system of "liking" posts.

I see too many of these posts around the forum.

Then you should probably report them so that they get removed. Useless spam is against the rules on this forum.

1. Such posts like "SELL SELL SELL", "I agree", "+1"...

I agree

Unless that post was pure sarcasm, this is a model post on why we need a "Like" feature. I see too many of these posts around the forum.

I don't completely see why any of this is needed. Why can't people just keep their thoughts about a certain post to themselves unless they have anything further to add to the discussion.

well, for me there are many occasions when I wanted to say 'thanks' to some users but refrained from posting because I couldn't come up with something constructive to include on my post. in the end I didn't post anything and ended up feeling rather ungrateful.
the others might have different reasons for wanting this feature, but I would like it to be implemented for this exactly.

What keeps you from expressing your gratitude in a pm.If you find someone's post useful,shoot him a message informing him of your appreciation.What is the need of like or thank button for such rare occasions? Moreover if we have like or thank button,we must also have unlike button because on several occasions I strongly dislike what some people post in the name of Freedom of expression

I agree

I dont understand the logic of having like or thank button.If people like your post,they can quote their post and appropriate word of appreciation would be more appropriate.People will resort to unethical ways to get like and thanks like buying them

I also agree with this idea simply because it will get rid of the "+1" "agreed" "yeah totally" and other comments such as those.

No, it won't.

I find no value in "likes" or "+1" or "thumbs up" or whatever. It's silly stuff invented for social media and it's really pointless. Who cares what if a lot of people "like" something? A lot of people are idiots.

I think the much better idea would be to have a "Thanks" button instead of "Like"
The thanks button will encourage more to the users and if someone help someone then the person can appreciate it by pressing the thanks button...Also it would be great if we have thanks meter too Grin

I suggest instead of thanks or like button we should have donate or tip button.If someone finds your post useful,informative or helpful,he can donate you a small pre-fixed amount of btc.This will highly encourage people to post more quality stuff and will also prevent asking or buying likes or thanks
