| fatslob-:O said: @Bold Very different ... The like system can already be abused for purposes such as supporting trolling/flaming posts which I don't think is currently in against rules but making it transparent reveals those shit mischievous perpetrators which can directly draw undue tension in future discussions between the users who the liked the posts and the victims or ire from others ... Likes being transparent just makes it far easier to encourage shit posting towards other users ... |
@Bold: Really? So if I tell you here in written form how I don't like what you say or how I don't like you or anything else that is antagonistic in nature, that's not reason to worry about future forum wars?
But a SIMPLE dislike bearing my nickname and you will hunt me down and cut off my head cause that's the ultimate act of war from me and the forum will be set on fire because of that?
As for supporting flaming/trolling posts, I think you are seeing too much into this. If someone trolls or flames or does anything against the rules, a mod will deal with that person right? As for likes, who cares? No one is going to be like: OMG look at the likes at the bottom of that troll post.
Now even considering the logic of what you say I still don't get it. How are transparent "Likes" going to encourage shit posts towards other users? If anything it's anonymous likes that can do that. If a post is trashy or an attack or a threat, who is going to be stupid enough to transparently like it? Everybody would immediately see who the person liking a "bad" post is. It's ANONYMOUS likes that are going to be easy to make on trash/troll/threat posts.
And finally I believe you are seeing too much into this. A "Like" is just a small thing to tell someone that you agree with their post. If someone says something smart or relevant I may very well let him/her know that I like what he/she said and I want him/her to know that I agree with their comment.
