Poll: May we have a second referendum on the like button?

[NoobCannon]

What thus forum really needs is as follows.

1. Instant ban for people giving the op what he wants in the first 2 pages of a photoshop thread

2. Own forum for ebay threads (unless it turns into a disaster then should be moved back to gd so we can all laugh)

What it doesnt need.

1. Anything posted by the op.

One thing thats certainly not wanted is a downvote/dislike button. No need to turn this place into Reddit where its used to troll/pitchfork anything or anyone a majority don't like/disagree with. Mob rule, no thanks.

Definitely. I'm only in favour now of a Thanks button, and I'm OK with it being on all forums except GD.

I guess you *could* have a rep button but that is pretty much the same issues of people posting for rep rather than content.

 

[skyripper]

Unfortunately, none of your content has received any likes yet. You'll need to keep posting!

Most posters in GD are here for the rep

I'm not in favour of just having Like. That blows.

I don't mind so much the format in Steam reviews:
- Yay
- Nay
- Funny
Where something can be yay, nay, yay+funny, nay+funny.

 

[IronWarrior]

No change.

You still here? I had visions of a forklift loading that £115m lottery win onto the back of your truck...!

Even I’m not that sad that I’d have won £115m and my first action being a thread on an Internet forum!

Dont turn one of the last good forums into facebook. No thanks.

This. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

If that were the case we would still be on VB Forum and stuck in the dark ages.

A "Thanks" button? Is this Mumsnet?

 

[PiKe]

Don't want or need any more buttons on the forum thanks.

There are other forums out side of GD where people help others and aren’t *****.

 

[PiKe]

Just type, "Thanks."?

Sure but 20 posts saying “Thanks” isn’t ideal, for example.

 

[Maccapacca]

Sounds like a terrible idea.

Sounds like a terrible idea.

Both a like button and a referendum

 

[UberTiger]

I say we just test both for a couple of months. Both a reactions feature and Brexit. If we don't like either we can just go back to how to was. Simples!

And they need some emotional gratification in the form of a "Thanks" button? I'd recommend some TRT if you think the answer to this is yes.
