Info: Like OMG - Like Feature Feedback Needed

Can't be bos. Can't be Cyclonepride. Women are just too unpredictable so you're out. I say mj, he probably doesn't know this but me and him go way back so that has to get me a couple get out of jail free cards.

we could just see which mod has the most likes after a week. But they'd have to keep their current avatars, no cheating by changing to yoga pants pictures.

Our unpredictability is one of our most lovable qualities, fartface.

As a married man, I can say...

Shoot, you don't even have to be married to answer that correctly.

But we don't automatically know who is abusing it. The information ideally needs to be reported, and it doesn't always receive reports immediately. And I know it seems like "a few clicks by Mods" isn't a lot of work, but it's actually more work than you'd think - since we want to be fair as mods, we run everything by the whole group. So, we'd need to open up some sort of reporting to the whole group, there'd need to be ad nauseum discussions about it, and parameters set, and then someone would need to be in control of it. Then, we still have to deal with both the initial complaints when someone receives the bad info, and (even worse) the petulant anger from the people who had it taken away.

It's not that we aren't open to stuff, it's just that this is an experiment that we've done before, and it failed miserably. I certainly can't speak for site management, but from the old days, I can tell you it never ends well, and ends with a lot of hurt feelings.

I'm sure it is more than I think, but still not that much. If you use the minimum post criteria, you eliminate almost all trolls from using the function. Make it so that Mods only consider turning off the function for a poster when they get a minimum number of complaints from high level posters (a Deputy Mod feature?). There only seem to be a handful that would rise to the level of Mod attention in this regard.

I want to be a deputy mod but I'm going to need a badge.

Lakebison has a ton of posts, and he's still a troll. :wink:

I nominate Clones21 as Deputy Mod.

And how hard is it to agree to turn off his thumb feature?

Of course, we still want to be able to read his posts and reply while NDSU gets destroyed by OU.

There are good trolls and bad trolls. He might be annoying, but he still falls in the good troll bucket.

Badges? We don't need no stinking badges.

 

[aauummm]

Does it look better with a grey thumbs down after you've thumbs up'd somebody?

Also - if you hover over the number of votes, you see who voted.

Shouldn't it be red before you click it and then gold after you click it? (or the other way around?)

 

[Cycsk]

I nominate Clones21 as Deputy Mod.

The list is not long of potential high post candidates to have the thumb function turned off.

Here's a little feedback.

After you get a notification, and you click on the link to see which post was liked, can you set it up so it opens that post in the same tab instead of opening a new one?

Just a suggestion.

 

[VeloClone]

Number of likes on a particular post is good. Knowing who likes what is also good. & getting a fancy little notification for each like is pretty neat.

I don't care about like 'statistics'.

This.

Look, you registered here after the attention whoring already begun. It's gotten worse as time has gone on, but trust me here. I called out one of those people that accumulated 11K posts, an insane amount of reputation/likes because him and all his friends played ookie cookie with the feature, and the instant someone called them out on it, all hell broke loose with them.

Said posters still get brought up from time to time as "fantastic posters" by many of the same people still here that overuse the like feature and aren't nearly as bad, but would abuse it if it were here.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

I just noticed that it's possible to thumb-up your own posts.

That won't end well.

Upside...everyone will be able to tell if you're thumbs-upping all of your own posts.

You appear to have been wronged at some point in the past, would you like to talk about it?

 

[cyrevkah]

I miss out on SO much when I don't have CF up at work. (Glad I can have it up at work again)

I will never respective your authority .

Here's an honest question: Why does it matter? Unless someone is abusing the system to harass someone else or something I don't think it matters much if a group of friends like each others posts often. How does it hurt anyone else?
