General / Off-Topic Post Likes and thanks, a poll
- Thread starter Kerrash
- Start date
I read somewhere Frontier dislikes the idea of a likes button for a few reasons, they feel that basic posts are all that is necessary.
If people have the option to post a poll in their thread, then that can work as a like/dislike feature, cant it?

I like the idea of being able to hit a button to say to someone. Yes I looked at your park, I enjoyed it, good work. Without having to actually make a response every time.
I like the idea of adding a "like" button similar to Facebook, but i don't think there should be a dislike or rating system to the posts.
People on RCTW forums simply rate your posts negatively just because they don't agree with you or because they disagreed with you previously and rate all your future posts negatively because they are salty lmao

I'm personally against anything dislike/negative for a thread/post rating. Allows for mob mentalities and other negative effects to a community.
I've been a mod on a forum that went from nothing to likes/dislikes and within 2 weeks there was fighting and arguments going on. After removing the like/dislikes the pain was still there for some posters and the vibrant fun community never returned. It's now gone from >150 regular users to <10.
On the flip side another forum added a simple +1 button with users not knowing their scores, just a count on individual posts and nothing changed.
My personal opinion is just to add a +1 / thanks kind of button, and as you said, steer well clear of any ability to post negativity with a single click.
indeed this a likes/thank button not a karma rating.
A like button would be nice for when people posts screens/videos of their parks rather than making an entire post just to say, "Cool park bro."
I visit another forum that has a thumbs up button and it is really nice to be able to simply click it if I like what someone says or am thankful for their work or comments. I miss not being able to do that on this forum so, I think a like/thumbs up button would be great! I would just steer well away from having anything negative you can click on, as WoodchipNZ mentioned, it can destroy the friendly community fast!

Used Chrome inline-editor to make a little text demo...
So something like this would be of use?

Any reasoning for the no vote?
Because people will start posting things to get as many likes as they can just like I saw on other forums. I think that right now people share things that maybe are not as good as they think but they want to get feedback.
