Should we add something like -1 as well?

So if the post has too much -1s, then a moderator will get automatically notified.

Why a mod should get notified when a post is -1? We need a "thanks" button not a "like" button. This is not a social network (like facebook, and others) it is a forum.

If you want report a post to a staff member, you should use the "report to moderator" function (at the right of each post here in the forum).

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.

True, but IMO if a post can be -1 and +1, that would be even better. But for -1, you need to provide sufficient info why you -1ed that post/reply.

If you don't like a post simple , close it and read another one. If you instead see that post helpful for the community ,press "thanks" (this is only an example and I don't know if this feature will be implemented or not).

Is this feature confirmed in the new forum?

Or is theymos still thinking it over? Huh

Also smart feature would be topic rating with example 5 stars max and 0 min.

I think a 5-star system is overkill. For example, YouTube changed their 5-star system with a like-dislike system some years ago.

Yes, nice idea.
+Like OR/AND +Thanks would give less spam as a result.

Im my experience they end up redundant
I'm sure someone is going to appreciate more an actual response than a counter.

They will, but sometimes those responses are simply 'thanks' or '+1' which are also redundant and add nothing. This feature would avoid that whilst still being able to show your appreciation.

And A/B testing would be great here, use 2 forums as example and see how it behaves, what do you think?

Yes, you're right, I was pointing that, the excess of spam makes that worthless, maybe only the thank button for helpful posts.

'Thanks' will be misused much more than 'like' or '+1' and besides, situations to 'like' a post is more than to 'thank' a post. You may like a post but you don't want to thank the poster, such things are more in this forum. I still stand with '+1' or 'like' and not with 'thanks'.

I think any option would work, but the problem here is I see this forum flooded with spam, and many alt users, so it can very easily misused no matter what the method is

But what would be the point of abusing it? Oh, this guy has 100 likes for his crappy post? Wont mean anything and would be pointless to do. You could argue that the feedback system can be abused in the same way as well but it's just there as a guide and for people to make their own mind up much like this would be. A like doesn't translate to trustability or everyone else likes or agrees with his post.

Something like this?

I don't see any harm, as long as it provides no major benefit to the post. Something like this is ok:

And prevent spam thanks, like a user trying to +1 all of someone elses posts.

I've seen both of these, but I think “Thanks” is different than “Like”. I may like a post without thinking it was actually helpful to me.

I may agree in principle with such a vote, but i'm really concerned by the possible/prevedible abuse of it. What if we can filter the number of likes with for example only trusted users one displayed?

What's to abuse exactly? Doesn't really matter if a post has 1k likes as it doesn't really give you any power or anything. People would be able to see through it if it was a post that was undeserving of so much thanks, but I think the names should be able to be viewed for various reasons and this being one of them.

+1000, other than listing the people's names. It should'nt matter who +1 the post, since the +1 shouldn't add to the post.

Just food for tought

As vod told , the 1+ / thanks doesn't give any advantage to the "OP" of each thread.

Why not put a simple button "thanks" ? I don't like the down vote system .

+1. Even if like the scope of the voting system i'm concerned by the possible abuse so, I suggest only making results visible to the user who posted the "liked" content.
