"Likes" What's the point?

[DiscoDes]

I'm not being beligerent, I like to receive "likes" but do they clock up somewhere?

[jerryrm]

I don't think that they do "clock up" on the AAE-C, Des. At least, I haven't seen them anywhere.

[Chrissie]

No they don't clock up anywhere Des, apart from on the post that's "liked"

Proboards comes with a Karma system where you can exalt or smite a poster. However, I removed that as we had someone abusing the system & it caused a lot of ill feeling.

I could have recoded the boards so that folks could only give Karma & the score would show up under everyone's avatars. That idea was discussed with the moderators but it was felt it could also cause upset if some folks hardly ever got any Karma.

is your thread title a question you want answering ?? as i would have thought it was obvious
as for your other question, nope no clocking up or ability to notify you unlike other forums ...but then i dont mind that as i feel they get overused on ECF and i spend too much of my time looking to see what people liked lol

[Jemima]

I don't think they do, and I wish they did

Althugh I do think it's nice when you read a thread and peoples post have been "liked"

[jerryrm]

Gordy, I hate that I can't turn off the like notices anymore on the ECF. I get a lot of them and because of that, I feel obligated to give out a lot of them. It's a damn nuisance.

[Anne (fuzzy)]

Can I play in your bubble too please Jem? Lol

[Chrissie]

Just to add that I like to like It feels like adding a smile or a thank you to a post - hope it gives other folks a good feeling as well

[bel]

I totally agree Chrissie, please keep the likes

[Chrissie]

Will do Bel If anyone would prefer a different icon for the likes though, just let me know & I can change it

They have a like button on facebook too. Some of the nasty things some people post on there though warrants a don't like button.

No you can't!! they removed the dislike button along time ago.

You can "unlike" a like you have made on here.
