Title: "Like" Button
Post by: Zog on July 31, 2011, 06:00:18 PM
I understand that I'm not really one for making suggestions, but this idea's been hanging around in my head for quite a while now.


How about, for every post, you have a "like" or a "dislike" button? Say if someone makes a post which contributes towards a thread significantly, then people could "like" that post to show that.


Do you think it's a good idea? Comments and thoughts please.

There is already a mod for that, but I don't like it, this is not facebook ...... and I don't like it there either!

Basically TC's idea makes as much sense as when GTM let EVERYONE +Rep or -Rep people.

......
owait, we already tried that.

I would +Rep him, but I get the feeling any time ACAMS' rep is adjusted, he just resets it.

I see ACAMS has a new avi.

Except why is Master Cylinder a dark gray/rust-ish color?
Were all used to him being light purple :O

I wanted to downrep him just for the trololol. =D
 
And Master Cylinder is now angry with all the accusations flying around courtesy of the Junkyard Dogs.

Actually, no.
I remember ages ago, back on the first RA2 forum, ACAMS posted the actual Master Cylinder image, and he had a red face.
.....It also came with a bio that said something about him chasing poindexter around.

And that he was the undisputed King of the Moon, and the ultimate Bad-guy Bully.
 
 
Not too different from the actual Camsy, then   :trollface

What about something like Facepunch has?

It helps to battle "+1" and "you're retarded" posts. I know there is no SMF plugin for that, but if I write one, will you, ACAMS, integrate it?

Well, a) they will just ridicule themselves b) they'll get bored c) if they REALLY abuse it, bans ahoy!

Make it clearer then.
No "like" or "dislike", only "Informative", "Funny", "Immature" and "Trollolol".

It could turn into the way the rep system was taken away (people kissing up to each other every day, repping down other people for insignificant reasons, and bawwing about it.

Could work, but I'm sure ACAMS and Kill will get very annoyed having to ban people pretty much all the time.

One ban, and they can't use it?

No, what I meant was that people may whine about having their posts disliked, and begin causing problems. If the case comes where a bunch of people do it at the same time, all those people will be banned, and they may end up whining on GTM's FB page, thus getting them banned probably longer. I'm sure that ACAMS and Kill will be annoyed by the supposedly high amount of people being banned.

Oh, that.

I feel so many people are bawwing these days, and it's gotten out of hand (we all do sometimes, but some people do it all the time).

Maybe we could prohibit it from certain people initially (i.e. GTG, Sparkes, TX, etc.) and prohibit anyone else that abuses it afterwards or whines.

No give us a chance. Besides even if I DO abuse it its not like the world will come to an end.
