Any thoughts on a Forum Post Likes System here?

[PS3 News]

Since we're now finished with the Forum Stats block, another idea we could add (or not) is the vBSEO "Likes" System to the Forum.

Below are a few pics on what it would look like in general... if we implemented the system it would match our Forum colors of course.




Personally I have always disliked the Like System as I would rather see people post a "Thanks" type reply than just click a "Like" button for someone's post, but if others do feel the Like System adds to the sense of community we can definitely incorporate it here.

What does everyone think ?

Well there's always that time when I don't know whether I should +rep a person or not. So a "like" system would be good to indicate I like a person's post, so I'm for it.

Also I wanted to suggest (while I'm suggesting stuff ) that you should tell people (in the first page) to use "CTRL + F" to find the game fix they want in the "PS3 EBOOT.BIN Links Repository" thread. So people can easily search if there is fix for the game they're looking for.

I have now added that note to the second sentence here: http://www.ps3news.com/forums/ps3-ha...tml#post364274 and THANKS for the suggestion HeyManHRU and +Rep!

[Tidusnake666]

I vote against.

If a person wants to say thanks, he/she should reply "Thanks".
If a person ike the post, he/she should write "Agreed with you..."
If a person wants to add Rep, he/she should do it and write "Thanks, +Rep!"

Thanking on one click of a button seems not right.

But most if the time I can't +Rep people due to the fact that I've already given out too many.

Er ... nope. I don't like it - and TBH I don't need a little button to express my opinion. That button will reduce post activity and I don't think it will be in the best interest of the site.

i have the same problem.. i think you should be able to rep a person 2 or 3 times in a row if the deserve it, why would anyone abuse rep system on this site as theres nothing to be gained .eg selling dodgy items or whatever with fake rep... i wanted to rep someone yesterday and it said i had to rep someone else 1st but i haven't rep for a week or two at least but he was the last rep i gave.. the system is perfect as is except for that.. no need for like thing.. too many cooks spoil the broth.. LOL

[HeyManHRU]

I agree , if a person truly deserves to have a good reputation added to two of his posts or more, they should get those reps . We also had a bit of a discussion like this in the "Seeking Feedback for Advanced Forum Statistics Block."

Sorry if I'm getting a bit off-topic, again .

Create a "Thanks" button ...problem solved

Why not put like a little Thank button beside Reply at the bottom of a post. Then the users who Thanked for the post names would come up below the post.
