On forum etiquette and "Likes."

[unionrdr]

It certainly wasn't my intent when I started this thread, but I now wonder if my first post has set the record for most "likes" of a single post. Anyone know of any with more?

Liked!

Hey, I just learned you can click on the "x likes this" and see who has given their like to what post!

Post #6 in this thread.

 

[LAHammer]

I bet this thread has a better likes per post average than any other thread...

...at least

:fro:

I'm a noob and didn't even notice the "like" button til now.

Notice it. Use it. Like it.

i dont care if i get a like, i care more about them taking my advice esp when i think its good advice that im giving. But sometimes getting a like is acknowledgement that they took or considered the advice i gave.

 

[meatcleaver]

I confess that I sometimes feel a little jilted when someone posts a question, and I post a long, multi-paragraph response, and they come back with a "Thanks!", but no "like." I feel like if I helped them, the least they could do is show appreciation with a "like." Is that a reasonable expectation, or am I being overly sensitive?

Overly sensitive, yes absolutely

Good advice. Liked.

Liked, even though you didn't read the thread.

Oh you care...

 

[iijakii]

Typing "thanks!" takes more work than clicking the like button.

You're welcome!

 

[Melana]

Thanks. Hmmmm that's not much effort at all.

 

[Paps]

I like beer.

 

[rhys333]

I prefer to respond with a "thank you" than clicking the like button, but I will do either or. I think most people acknowledge one way or the other, but sometimes there's no reply and that's fine too by me. Perhaps the person isn't being considerate, but more than likely they just forgot to reply. It happens. There's another reason they may not reply: the questioner feels condescended to by the person answering. People don't mean to do this of course, but its easy to misjudge both the experience of the person asking and the intentions of the person replying.

Is the proper response 'Thank you sir, can i have another?'

 

[PlexVector]

Then wait a few years and try it with arthritic fingers...

 

[Psylocide]

Is the proper response 'Thank you sir, can i have another?'

No.

Correctly stated, it would be 'may I have another?'

 

[Melana]

No.

Correctly stated, it would be 'may I have another?'

Agreed. My mistake - I was multitasking.

 

[Psylocide]

Oh, so I can't get a ****ing like?

'Agreed,' pfffft.

 

[Melana]

Waving it around wanting to be liked?

 

[iijakii]

I Like you long time five dolla

 

[Rhumbline]

I Like you long time five dolla

I like you no ****, buy me drinkie?

 

[unionrdr]

This is going nowhere good GI...

 

[LAHammer]

I beg to differ...
Sounds like we're gettin' pretty close to a deal...
:like:

 

[slym2none]

"It's not too damn beaucoup!"

Wait, did I kill the vibe?

 

[PlexVector]

[Well] [Actually] [So] rather than "Like" or "Unlike", since "Unlike" seems to be a little harsh I propose that in place of--you click on a ":turtle:" for a +1 and "" for a -0.

 

[soccerdad]

"Unlike" seems to be a little harsh

Harsh? Harsh? Really? It's as wimpy as you can get. Now maybe a "U Suck" button would be harsh.

Hey - let's get one !
