I dont wanna make this FB, but Id like a way to agree with someones comment without having to quote them and typing "this".

Seems like the cool way to keep down clutter.

No big deal, just sayin...


edit: type O

So then would it be like YouTube where the most thumbs up gets the post at the top of the page? I don't see how it would work in a way that would matter/ be useful.

That would be super fresh. I've actually been thinking the same thing for a while.

It could provide the same ego boost everyone craves from getting sigged and quoted with an appreciative rofl without all the hassle.


Edit: @Wyatt, I hate the new youtube rating system and how that works, because all the comments that end up at the top are just "17 people don't know what good music is" and "Like if you would marry Katy Perry" and the like. So it would obviously have to implemented vastly different in my opinion.

This.



...but seriously, I'd be cool with it. Not gonna kill me if we don't get it, but I wouldn't mind having it.

I'd also like to see the opposite, though for threads rather than individual comments, such that disliked threads are subsequently hidden from the user who disliked/downvoted them. Not so much in a 'this thread svcks' sense, but more of a 'this thread doesn't interest me' sense.

That would be pretty cool, I'd probably like this thread.

No, it doesn't.

NO. [censored] OFF.

*Clicks like button*

Oh wait...

Why so serious

My thoughts exactly. :meh:

Next up would be a forum minigame suggestion

This to both

A like button is a horrible oversimplification of everything.

rather people type out why they like something instead of pressing some button on impulse. a like button is so abstract and doesnt always means something *good*

for example

I like that your post was so [censored] and you made your self look like such a fool.

no like buttons no facebook contamination etc etc, we can already add friends and comment on profiles in the members page thats good enough.

Take a chill pill O_o

17 people like Justin Bieber.

And you answered why there most likely isn't a Like button.

We should have a system like Facepunch where you can vote things dumb, informative, polite etc. Apparently they used to have a system where you could thumbs up or thumbs down a comment and if you got enough thumbs down you got banned.

I love seeing people get really angry about Facebook, it makes so little sense.

:o YES!

*starts coding*

Youtube comments are extremely pretentious with nearly every popular video having the highest rated comment as "### people must've missed the like button"

Dear OP,

From your comment about 'keeping down clutter', I can see where you're coming from. Ranked pages on sites like Digg and Reddit will display the most commented or agreed upon comments. Works wonders on news aggregate websites around the world. Unfortunately, forums do not work that way. Each comment is logged and sorted by date and time of reply so even if the best answer is buried at page 7, you will have to dig for it instead of having it nicely presented to you within the first two pages. But we don't have that feature, and probably never will. So until this suddenly shines like a beacon of truth in some middle manager's coke addled brain as the idea of all ideas, we're gonig to be stuck with what we have. That means you have to read 8 pages of terrible puns and unfunny forum injokes before getting to the end. Alternatively, you can do what seems to be the norm here and reply without reading the thread.

I el oh el'd.

I don't really see the point myself. But then again I don't really see the point in quoting someone just to say "This."

If I start reading a thread and see someone else has already expressed my sentiments just as well as I could have, I don't even bother responding, unless I have something to add on top of it.

BUT HEY I'M WEIRD

TELL US SOMETHING WE DON'T KNOW.

I'm all for de-clutterized? forums but a tetris minigame or something like that which would be activated instead of the flood-control screen... well that would be awesome

"Oops, you're posting too fast! To post again please score 20k+ in this game of tetris"

No fair! I svck at Tetris.
