Can we "Like" a post?

[abyrnes81]

Should we add something like -1 as well?

So if the post has too much -1s, then a moderator will get automatically notified.

Why a mod should get notified when a post is -1? We need a "thanks" button not a "like" button. This is not a social network (like facebook, and others) it is a forum.

If you want report a post to a staff member, you should use the "report to moderator" function (at the right of each post here in the forum).

True, but IMO if a post can be -1 and +1, that would be even better. But for -1, you need to provide sufficient info why you -1ed that post/reply.

If you don't like a post simple , close it and read another one. If you instead see that post helpful for the community ,press "thanks" (this is only an example and I don't know if this feature will be implemented or not).

Is this feature confirmed in the new forum?

Or is theymos still thinking it over?

This may not be a “social network”, but I bet people socialize anyway. Also, the reason I still think a Like button is better than a Thanks button is because most of the time you like a post (maybe it's an opinion you agree with, or a joke, or an interesting article, or something else), but don't necessarily feel thankful for that.

Please don't add a '-1'.

Most of the features hasn't been confirmed by theymos but teasup sometimes gives a hint.

I saw a pic of some icons when the image was posted here and it included a '+1' icon. So I think it will be added to the new forum software.

This would be great idea to add like/dislike or something similar also think that adding a button for share is good for other networks like FB, TW, G+ and all other

Only "like" or "+1" is needed. Dislike will cause big mess.

also think that adding a button for share is good for other networks like FB, TW, G+ and all other

Disagree. It will clutter the page.

this is a great idea...i seen on many forums +1 button or thanks button or like button
and i really love it on other sites
i wish that admins add this !!great idea!

Never heard any feedback on this from the developer.  

I hope such a simple thing can be implemented.  So many times I have wanted to just "like" a post, without liking the poster or putting myself into a certain group for liking the post from a certain poster...

Just a simple (even anonymous) "Thumbs up" would be perfect.  Facebook got it right.

i'm with it on this, it could also reduce some spams, many post that start with agree and add unnecessary things, just to make them look alright, would no longer be needed

Or maybe the post with more "thanks" "like" will be highlighted respect the others and if someone is searching for an information, he can find it more faster and easier than now. What do you think guys? Is it a good or bad idea?

If you look at "long-term", it is a good idea but if you are going for "short-term" thinking, you can understand that plenty of alts will popup. However, "+1" from me.

I support the idea of redsnow, +1! We need the thanks button and also if the people will abuse , it doesn't matter.

It has been posted many times here. "Thanks" button is probably less good than "+1" or "Like" button. We may want to like a post but not thank them. So "+1" or "like" button is what we need.

Sounds good! I like it, but I think by commenting your opinion and you thoughts is more sincere than just a like, don't you think? But I still like the idea though, and I would be liking posts that I think is interesting. Hope it happens on this forum !

Dislike is good too, it prevents people from going out of line because flaming will be disliked immediately.

If it was integrated with a tip-jar then a Like button it could be fun to see how people react send a change-tip to users for constructive posts and have a dislike button that demands money for reading their awful ones  
(That or dislike turns posts to hidden after the threshold is reached)

[lorylore]

I vote pro to this idea, i have seen most of the forums have implemented this.
Like, +1, or a Thanks button would be good, in a forum i saw that these "Thanks" can be trade inside the forum.
So maybe this should work like a mini tip to a member, it can be manipulated but here comes the moderators.

Replying or Quoting the thread can also express if you like a post or not. Tho the idea of having a like button is really one too look forward to. It can implement people to make more constructive posts and maybe if that person got enough likes he can trade it for bitcoins or currency that we can use in this forum to buy stuff for our profile.

[Hugroll]

How about the ability to "like" or "+1" a post?  To prevent obvious abuse, you must have positive trust and seniority to vote.   A +1 should not give any advantage to a a post.

sounds just like reddit

I'd love if we could use rep for something like that, but sadly, people would abuse it badly by using a lot of alt accounts and doing like trades and such. I don't see this really working out.
