mattb65 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Not sure if this is the right place to request features and if not, please delete or move this post. I think it would be a great add on to let users "like" a post by a user to recognize a particularly useful post. I did some preliminary research and it seems like this mod is available via the rep system built into this board. IP Board Like Feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb65 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 I understand that this may be useless in the OT abyss but on the wx side this could easily be used to self regulate good from bad posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb65 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 you're right--it was invaluable at Eastern when it was implemented there. Not sure why you're trolling here, if it was implemented before and wasn't used or was misused that's fine, it was just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 This certainly is a great idea, however, it was implemented before and vastly abused. Some adjustments were made in order to try and solve the abuse but it just didn't work out. If used correctly this would be a wonderful tool.

It was implemented before (at Eastern) and it was abused early and often. So I don't think you'll see it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 There's another forum I'm a member of with a "like" button similar to Facebook for each post. Likes don't get counted into any rep system, they just appear at the bottom of the post. If this board software has that, it would be a pretty nice tool to have. It sucks that the rep system on Eastern was abused by a few immature people, though, because it was a pretty good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having it tied to a users individual reputation leaves it way too open to abuse. I've also seen other boards that just have a thank you button people can click for posts they appreciate.
