Gay men are horrible at tree work. Then again... gay women are not so bad considering the phsical weakness of their gender... I dunno, Corey... I'm on the fence on this one. A "like" button might work. Super gay, granted, but it just might work. I'm crazy like that.
I voted for like only. In the trading community I'm a part of, we have "reactions" in the chatroom that are used a good bit to... well react to what was said without actually having to type something that isn't worth saying. Granted that's a chatroom where posts are less "permanent" than a forum (but still searchable), but I think that'd strength the case for a like button. There are well more than 100 "reactions" that can also be used as smilies/emoji/whatever. Most go unused.
There have been several posts here that I've read that I thought "I like this," but saying "I like this" as a post would be blather so it went unsaid.
Either way, it won't make or break me.
Here's an example of the last two posts with "reactions."
And therein lies the rub! On the one hand, someone might post blather, maybe they might say a lil more, but in the long run, it's still a post and a forum's post count is kinda important. Some people even think their post count is important. I'd just hate to see our posts decreased even more so than what it is already.
I voted neither but I don't really see any harm in a like button: it's the dislike one that causes forum strife.
The blather posts really only become a problem when blather posting is all that poster ever types. Everyone is entitled to a few blather posts once in a while, I would think. They can't all be literary works of art, like all my posts!
Just clicking a button isn't my definition of being involved in the forum, IMO. Lurkers can do that all day. All a high like count is good for is just the poster's ego.
What’s the difference between a like button and an emoji like��Or that clinking glass one you use, or that young girl twerking you were addicted to?
