Stop +1Ing Threads, Use The Button!

Recommended Posts

It has been customary in this forum to post a "+1" if one likes a Post.

Now the new forum even has an "I like" button for this purpose on the right side of each post.

This has the advantage of getting automatically counted and keeping the discussion tidy.

It seems thoiugh that a lot of people haven't caught on to this. Still posting their ones.

So I just wanted to point it out here again.

When you post a +1 it also bumps the thread so others can see it, i think that is why a lot of people do it.

Plus if you want to add something to the discussion, the button is of no help.

I wished there was an option to ignore updates to specific threads and sub forums. Mindless bumps only hide newly added real content.

Just because you don't like/want an idea does not mean it is not "real content" maybe it's not content you want to see but others might.

Would be an idea if there was an option to "ignore this topic" say along with the follow this topic choice.

There is actually a dislike button, it's just hidden using CSS. If you poke around in the source code of the page you can see it's there. It probably wouldn't take too much work to show it and rename them to +1 and -1 to make them less "facebooky".

Edit: Nvm that's the unlike button that appears after you like the post.

Yes, this pretty much. Not to mention, all the likes go directly to someone's profile which is even more lame. The more likes you get the shinier your profile looks !!11
