Sinnerman Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 They have +1 or Like buttons on near enough every other site I go on. I don't care if it gets implemented or not, but it's a decent feature to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
⊗ Volrath ⊗ Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 "Please like this" "Give me a like if you agree" "If I reach 100 likes I will bring a chainsaw and cut my laptop in half because I am weeetarded" ^ I don't want to see that kind of sentences in every post, I mean what is this?

Muur Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 "Like Button?" This isn't Facebook you know. Well we already have a status update feature. And I bet everytime there is a Kaitlyn mention or a picture of her, there'll be a "Dazman likes this" under it should this be implemented. As for the feature Itself, I approve it.

Muur Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Well uf there's like an amazing post from say Crowley or WhiteRyhno and It's like 5 paragraphs long, it would be better to "like" the post rather than try and respond lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDGEHEAD15 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 It would only lead to jealousy, big-headedness, and more spam posts, in an effort to get likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGPLX. Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 It's not like Facebook, it's a way of showing you like a post without having to post shit like 'lol' and 'this'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUCKA Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Some people see it as just a way for people to whore out for likes and make pointless posts. But I think it'll lead to less pointless posts because you won't have to express 2-3 words in a post or say something that someone else has said, you can just click the like button. Or if you want to add onto another person's opinion, post yourself. It'll be just the way it is now, but people would know who agrees with them. If it was anything like Facebook likes, it wouldn't be bad either. I've never seen it used in a shitty way. Can't go wrong. But this is all just advice, that's all it is. You can do whatever the *censored* YOU WANNA DO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGPLX. Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 People seem to think this will encourage spam and trolls. Erm do spammers and trolls really need more encouragement? It's gonna happen no matter what you do, at least this adds a handy new feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a "Like" button I know I would never use it. We don't need a "Like Button" it would be as pointless on here as it is on Facebook. I've been on about 10 different forums and each one has a like or rep system. It easily dignifies who the intelligent users are and the spammer/one liner people are. Usually you would have your Post Count and underneath how many likes you've gotten. It gives people actual reason to make funny/knowledgeable posts.

Dazz Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I was on a forum that had a star system so if you liked a post, you'd give it a star. Unfortunately, that turned into troll posts being multi-starred by other trolls and idiotic posts having the same treatment from other idiots who had the same stupid opinion and wouldn't listen to facts that say otherwise. Now, while the "like" button could help show up a great post or comment as it's supposed to do, having seen the negative way it was used, I'd say caws.ws is better off without such a thing.

King RyderFan Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I'm a big believer of the phrase "I tried and failed but at least I tried." and I believe that philosophy should apply here. Give this like system a try. If it works, great! If it doesn't, we'll then we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVD 4:20 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 It's a bad idea. It would turn into a popularity contest, or be abused in some other fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
