Topic: Can we "Like" a post? - page 4. (Read 23461 times)
This is a good idea. Will help sort out the quality and contributing posts from the bad sig spammy ones. Another forum I use to participate in (Digitalpoint) has a similar feature that seems to work quite well. They even use it as a posting restriction to certain forum boards like the marketplace so newbie spammers can't just start new sales threads or scams right off the bat.

I think the much better idea would be to have a "Thanks" button instead of "Like"

'Like' can be used for thanking or for liking but not vice versa. So IMHO, like button is better.

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

Replying or Quoting the thread can also express if you like a post or not. Tho the idea of having a like button is really one too look forward to. It can implement people to make more constructive posts and maybe if that person got enough likes he can trade it for bitcoins or currency that we can use in this forum to buy stuff for our profile.
I'd love if we could use rep for something like that, but sadly, people would abuse it badly by using a lot of alt accounts and doing like trades and such. I don't see this really working out.
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.
sounds just like reddit

I vote pro to this idea, i have seen most of the forums have implemented this.
Like, +1, or a Thanks button would be good, in a forum i saw that these "Thanks" can be trade inside the forum.
So maybe this should work like a mini tip to a member, it can be manipulated but here comes the moderators.

Dislike is good too, it prevents people from going out of line because flaming will be disliked immediately.
If it was integrated with a tip-jar then a Like button it could be fun to see how people react send a change-tip to users for constructive posts and have a dislike button that demands money for reading their awful ones
(That or dislike turns posts to hidden after the threshold is reached)

Sounds good! I like it, but I think by commenting your opinion and you thoughts is more sincere than just a like, don't you think? But I still like the idea though, and I would be liking posts that I think is interesting. Hope it happens on this forum !

I support the idea of redsnow, +1! We need the thanks button and also if the people will abuse , it doesn't matter.
It has been posted many times here. "Thanks" button is probably less good than "+1" or "Like" button. We may want to like a post but not thank them. So "+1" or "like" button is what we need.
i'm with it on this, it could also reduce some spams, many post that start with agree and add unnecessary things, just to make them look alright, would no longer be needed
Or maybe the post with more "thanks" "like" will be highlighted respect the others and if someone is searching for an information, he can find it more faster and easier than now. What do you think guys? Is it a good or bad idea?
If you look at "long-term", it is a good idea but if you are going for "short-term" thinking, you can understand that plenty of alts will popup. However, "+1" from me.

Never heard any feedback on this from the developer. 
I hope such a simple thing can be implemented. So many times I have wanted to just "like" a post, without liking the poster or putting myself into a certain group for liking the post from a certain poster...
Just a simple (even anonymous) "Thumbs up" would be perfect. Facebook got it right.

This would be great idea to add like/dislike or something similar
Only "like" or "+1" is needed. Dislike will cause big mess.
also think that adding a button for share is good for other networks like FB, TW, G+ and all other
Disagree. It will clutter the page.

Please don't add a '-1'.
Most of the features hasn't been confirmed by theymos but teasup sometimes gives a hint.
I saw a pic of some icons when the image was posted here and it included a '+1' icon. So I think it will be added to the new forum software.

Is this feature confirmed in the new forum?
Or is theymos still thinking it over?

This may not be a “social network”, but I bet people socialize anyway. Also, the reason I still think a Like button is better than a Thanks button is because most of the time you like a post (maybe it's an opinion you agree with, or a joke, or an interesting article, or something else), but don't necessarily feel thankful for that.
