re: [Suggestion] Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down Ratings

quote Sam_P
Users will always give their friends thumbs up
Users who don't see eye-to-eye will constantly give thumbs down to each-other.
Users will randomly use the feature, giving out thumbs down/up to anyone.
Well yes, but no one ever said you don't take this with a grain of salt. I wouldn't really call that abuse if those people really liked or disliked that person, though the random one may be (but is unlikely to be frequent).

I make many controversial posts in IE, and I know that if some people don't like them it's not a problem, but if twenty people gave it a thumbs down then it is probably the way I said it and not just because they disagree with my opinion.

re: [Suggestion] Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down Ratings


I would rather not... It is rather pointless.

If the post is somehow offensive or in any way inappropriate it will get reported.

If a difference of opinions occurs between the person who made a post and the reader it would be more beneficial for the discussion if the reader posted his opinion rather than dissing the post. Also, differing opinions should not even be something that should be judged.

The only thing I see this could have any use is in the grammar-area, but even there it is no good. While I do found some posts with bad grammar to be irritating this is probably because their native tongues are not English, or they are very young. Maybe both. Besides, this would be elitist and therefore making the forum less enjoyable.

Not really, many people have the same opinions as me, but make posts and jokes so horrendously dumb that I feel obligated to tell them some how. And it is possible to be offensive or mean, but not in a way that breaks rules, I have seen it a lot.

Or sometimes people have the same opinions as me, but ramble or create a wall of text the Chinese would be proud of.

re: [Suggestion] Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down Ratings

I think it seems like an OK idea, although people may abuse the system and just press them for the sake of it, remember we do have some noob kids.

re: [Suggestion] Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down Ratings

I'd support this, but only for a thumbs up button. GameGrep proved how a thumbs down button can be well and truely abused.

re: [Suggestion] Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down Ratings

I'd like to see something still where you can only give someone a kudos and for it not to be shown in public. A way to say thanks but not have it washed all over the site inducing people to push the button just for the hell of it. =)

Hardly, it's more like how it gives people something to bitch and moan about.

"OMG THOSE GUYS THUMBED ME DOWN!!! " Wow, get over it. Thumbs down is for people to show their disapproval of the post/comment in question, and that's what it used for. What people didn't like was that they didn't get GG points if they were thumbed down and that their messages would be hidden from view if everyone was bothered enough by them.

re: [Suggestion] Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down Ratings

I have changed my mind over the last two years. I think that a thumbs up/thumbs down system would encourage people to click on them rather than reply. A well thought out reply is worth a hundred thumbs up or thumbs down.

re: [Suggestion] Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down Ratings

I was thinking of suggesting this kind of thing for actual blogs aswell as the posts. Kinda tells you who likes it rather than having people favourite it.

re: [Suggestion] Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down Ratings

quote Redemption
We have thread "likes" as part of our roadmap. Individual posts will probably not get this. Think of thread thumbs up as a recommendation system. That, combined with publishing to your twitter/Facebook/whatever upon thumbing up a thread, could make for some interesting situations.

eg as bobbonew had suggested:

"_____ likes Suggestion: Thumbs-up Thumbs-down for forum posts on Neoseeker"


What Redemption said in the latest thread.

You can already thumb up blog posts, article comments, and GG comments.

re: [Suggestion] Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down Ratings

I think that in this forum, particularly, a thumbs up feature could work quite well for a quick overview of what various members want.
