Darn you Imp

I like being able to like stuff. It shows you really appreciate what someone has said. Though in my case it is a bit of fun trolling

[UlricBekker]

The "like" button is behavioral analysis cookie for cross site tracking of users (same for fluffer... er.. sorry tweeter and g+)

So I guess world plus dog knows u like.

Honestly, it probably helps the devs sort out which suggestions/posts are worth their time. I see no reason to remove it.

at least until someone with multiple email addresses and multiple forum accounts likes themselves too much (sounds dirty)

[UncleKulikov]

I dislike the original post.

Having a "dislike" button would help too.

[Vance Diamond]

But irony likes are the best.

[OnLashoc]

I like the "Like This" button

[Brixx]

Like buttons are good. But I am against Dislike button because this for sure will be overused. As soon as somebody is against ones opinion a lot members will instantly dislike it for no proper reason. I felt it myself with the "star rating" on your profile. I showed my disagrement with a post of someone and 2 minutes later I got rated with 1 out of 5 stars though I really do not use swear words or offend people. I just show my opinion in a mannered way. People should be allowed to have a different opinion without getting instant negative feedback.

Edit: Don´t get me wrong. Its not a personal whine... I am against "Dislike" buttons in general. Because I can get "aroused" aswell... and I don´t want to become a flamer.

hear hear! I like the like button too!

[Skoll]

It's probably a tally system, like someone said, to make sure the devs can prioritize seeing the comments that the community as a whole likes the best. It's like voting in the democratic system; Want your voice heard? Vote!

[omegaclawe]

Did you know you can like your own posts?

Edit: ....and I reached my daily quota right before this. shame.

As I once said in Facebook: "liking your own posts is like fapping to pictures of yourself"

But what if I'm really s3xy?

[OnLashoc]

Doesn't that make you homosexual?

[Elucid Ward]

Nope. Wanting to **** the same gender makes you homosexual. Else we'd be all ***.

[Dsi1]

"Like this" is simply agreeing with a post.

Adding a "Dislike this" to indicate disagreement would be welcome though.

[DFDelta]

Liking is enough, negative feedback like a "x dislikes this" button leads to long term drama in 90% of all cases.

[Jestun]

Like buttons are better than threads full of:

Quote

+1

Quote

I agree

Quote

Truth

Quote

Exactly

Quote

This guy is correct

Etc, etc.

Like is simply a way of agreeing without spamming up the thread.
