am I sure I want to like this post

[Heathcliff]

I just dont know what to say. How many forum sign ups accidentally click the like button thing and how hard was it to reverse? And how much did it matter anyway.

Thing about the 'like' button is that if you 'like' a post then other people think you agree with what is posted but a lot of what I 'like' is because the post has made me laugh... sometimes even out loud but I wouldn't agree with the post one iota, so I would like to be able to acknowledge that it made me laugh rather than 'liking' it and others thinking I'm just agreeing with the post.

I find this largely agreeable

I can't believe you put me in that rep whore company.

I'm a massive tit to most I interact with which is not conducive to whoring likes.

Has Danny added extra likes to your account then to make you look like a like whore then like ?

What ! Like Christmas or getting a bath?

I liked this because it made me chuckle but I in no way endorse or condone it's content.
I generally use a shower not a bath. Just thought that should be made clear. Thanks.

WOW
There is a league table for likes ?
Also what the Hell is the 'Trophy Points' thing all about ?
Oh and BTW, It's easy to see who spends FAR too much time on here ! (you know who you are)

This is a great point.

We should have different levels of 'Likes'.

'Like'

'LOLed'

'Dislike'

'DIAGF'

It won't be abused as it isn't anonymous and it makes perfect sense.

I urge all the mods @Tubey @chicoazul @Pat's Van @veronica loren MAKE THIS HAPPEN PLEASE

[Hellerad]

The Like button is okay. But it would be better if when you clicked it, you could assign or deduct reputation from the poster and leave a written explanation. Maybe upgraded users could even see who left the reputation.

yeah to expand on @bignev23 's point a bit, it's difficult when someone on here posts a bit of a tearjerker thread about the loss of a close family member or loved one, or even perhaps the demise of a particularly loyal hound, I then press like as a way of expressing my sincere condolences but then I think "oh dear, what if OP thinks I like the fact that he or she is in mourning" when I can actually assure you that's never the case....that's what I don't like

...well I do "like" it but I don't literally like it, well I suppose I do "like" it literally but not figuratively... oh FFS I'm rambling now

either way get rid of it
