Please vote on a "LIKE" button - POLL NOW WORKING

Hi Shelly and other Moderators

I completely understand it was just a suggestion thanks for considering the idea anyway.

Regards
MMM

The desicion has been made to not include a like button on our forum.

As this is a support forum we feel that posting a message in a thread is very important and do not want a like button to take away from that.

Also it is not simply a 'like' button- the system available to us runs on a points systems where members collects points for likes thus raises other issues that a supportive forum does not need the worry off- which can include competitiveness (this is the reason it has been dismissed in the passed when the like button has been raised)

We have emoticons which include a thumbs up one that can be used to show support.

We appreciate your feedback and voting

Sounds good to me too. :)

Ok Shelly

Cheers

Hi Smileykylie

[quote="smileykylie"]Being controversial here but I say NO to this "like" system.
If it were the same as FB and you could just click like if you liked a comment then great but its not that at all.

That is exactly what I had in mind when I started this Poll purely a like system similar to Facebook just say yes thats good I like it nothing else, another way of showing suppport thats all.

Cheers

May this little icon could be the like button??

Plus I don't come on here very often anymore and have noticed a general trend that people move on and new members become more active around the time of their sleeves and just after, I think people who don't use the forums very often would feel rejected (sorry lack of a better word!)

I hope that make sense

Hi Shelly25

Any verdict on the like/agree button ??

As I said before it's not a competition its another way of showing support for our fellow sleeves. :-)

I totally understand its not meant to be competitive;that has been the previous concerns held by members when this has been raised before (because its just not a like button)At the moment we have such a great group on here so it probably wouldnt be a problem!

To make an informed choice about what we can do in regard to a' like' type button-

it is not a 'like' button the same as facebook on this program,it is actually called a 'reputation system' and under your avatar you collect points for likes.The wording of reputation can be changed to something like 'LIKE" but it is not like the facebook like button as such.

This is the reason there has been opposition in the past from members for the reputation system is people dont want any competitiveness collecting 'likes'-and believe me that can happen and we dont want that.

So think about this when deciding as it wont be a facebook like button.

Admin and mods will make a final descion based on members feedback in regard to what is best for the site,so leave feedback and vote!

shelly

Come you stalkers......have a vote LOL

Arse

We would like a LIKE button to acknowledge information, support or you just agree with someone's post

Admin have said if people want a LIKE Button they will do their best to supply one!

Hi Gang!
I have fixed the problem with the voting system, so you should all be able to vote!
I am looking into if it is possible to set up a 'like' system, so if you all want it then if Admin and Mods agree, I will pop it on.
Hope you are all well.

Hi All

I think it would be a great way to acknowledge a message, offer of support/help, a funny joke any information to others, the moderators are watching lets get the votes moving along Yes?

Being Competitive never entered my mind much better to support, show guidance and kindness to fellow sleevers.

YES YES YES

Yeah, it was about a year ago Shelly.... there seemed to be a bit of tension around at the time haha.

I agree! I've been thinking this for a while after making a habit out of it on facebook every time I read something on here that I like I keep going to like it forgetting that there isn't a like button -__- hahaha
