It would be nice if there was a dislike button, and if it was typed more than 50 clicks from different users then the message would have been minimized.
For example: http://www.yaplakal.com/findpost/50705204/forum2/topic1428602.html
More or less like stackoverflow or php.net as well.
More buttons or option(s) to like? FB is now giving more options other than their original like i.e. happy, surprise, mad, sad...
I will post the sample later, to clarify.
Rename this topic: dislike button.
it's like karma for each message if the message is bad it will be hidden in spoiler, while anyone not unwrap it to see.
Don't you fear users with bad feelings for each other will abuse this function?
I think it will be the same as with the karma function. Not used in most boards because of the danger of abuse.
the administrator can disable this button, this is not a problem
That's the point why some of my members don't like the "likes". You can abuse them as well. But you can abuse everything, if you want to. ;)
I think there is a difference between very large forums and forums like mine, in which we are nearly like a family.
I never used things like karma, I would not use such an addon like this one here (it is a kind of censorship in my eyes) and I don't use that feature with the "automatically warnings".
I would delete posts, which are very noughty, stupid or against our rules, and I would talk to members which show a bad behavior in forum, with a friendly pm first... and maybe kick them, if they carry on and don't change their behavior. But I would
never allow members to play a teacher, which is giving bad marks to other members... or play the judge over the behavior of other members.
We can always see the bad side and the good side of these buttons. I don't think we can ever stop people from expressing themselves or their feelings as they can even do so in a reply.
For me, these buttons, if they are going to be added, are merely there to facilitate such expressions in a simpler format, while in the best way, of course, they should be in a proper reply.
Often, we also let ourselves become prejudice and pre-judge the users too early, while in actual reality, they might not behave in such a bad way, at all. Users are slowly learning to express themselves in a proper way despite the differences that they have, so why not giving them some rooms to explore these possibilities.
The reply box and personal message are still there to help resolve any issues openly or in private, right?
In Stackoverflow, there is a big misuse of -ve rating. There are a few people who will negative rate any thread irrespective of what is in it. They do just because they can.
Just a thought: negativity seems a sure way to create a dead forum quickly. If people really, really want it, perhaps it would be more appropriate as an add-on?
ok, please move this topic here: http://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?board=23.0
it's even cooler that I offered
github example
That is really nice...
I like that too, its just a stats panel more or less. Although I favor keeping the options down, too many and its beginning to lose its meaning IMHO. Maybe a like, dislike and love button would be enough.
IMDB have a function of "34 of 123 people found this review useful" in its user reviews section. Likes and dislikes are counted to a total "like" but only the positive part is spelled out. If a dislike function is added to ElkArte, then perhaps the total value + positive "like" value could be displayed. No mentioning of dislikes(although you can of course quickly see the relationship). I guess a good name for both likes and dislikes together would have to be found then.. :)
