Poll on the Chaos Community's take on the 'like' system

[Kitt Solo]

Should Chaos get rid of the 'like' system?



There are pros and cons to the system. Does anyone else struggle with that little beast of insecurity when it rears its ugly head?

Liked it just because.. Contradictions

 

[Arage Bao]

Quite simple, yes. I can't get enough of the likes, I feel... like I am getting addicted. :'(

 

[Darth Ayra]

Yes and no.

 

[sabrina]

No it shows appreciation

 

[Kitt Solo]

What about showing appreciation in others ways that aren't so public?

 

[Nas Vua]

What about feeling good about getting some likes? That's positive

Will you ever stop your quest for pity likes? STOP PLAYING HER GAME PEOPLE!! WAKE UP!

Wat?

The best way to show appreciation is public admiration and acknowledgment. >.> Every person (besides the really shy or introvert ones) likes to be appreciated publicly.

I'm pretty sure it's not the getting likes that's the problem.

The like system is a popularity contest that is exploited. For example, when there is a disagreement and we all beahve like middle school kids and watch it, we like the posts on whoever side we agree with and thus cause much upset.

That said, it boosts my ego. So if we could hide the likes, but not remove it, that would be something I would go for

Yeah, I was speaking more for the shy or introvert peeps. BUT, I'm also referring to the judgement factor if you don't get them or have a higher 'like' count.

YES. I second that. We could still have a 'like' total count on the character's profile page but not within each post.

Can I like your post without contradicting myself?

You mean... Like twister?

 

[Nikolas Faselli]

I still support the Like system like it is. Judgment has been a thing, but at the moment I hardly consider anybody being offended by it. Maybe privately, but publicly nobody has been whining about it recently.

Well, until today.

I find that people who are light-hearted, kind, and positive contributors to the community have no trouble getting likes. Likes are also a way in which we show appreciation for an insightful OOC post or excellent storytelling. If people are upset because they don't think they're popular enough, either get over it or take it as a hint that maybe you should try being, well...nicer.

Are you calling me a whiner?

I'm just bringing up a topic for more conversation.

I am feeling like I love you now.

[member="Kitt Solo"], not exactly. This topic has been brought up many times and it's interesting to see how many former supporters have fallen to the "I HATE LIKES" zone.

I don't hate likes but I disagree with the system and think it could be changed.

Also, I don't think the number of likes has to do with how nice of a person you are (maybe in some cases outside of the rping forum). It seems to be more about writing quality, creativity, or taking realistic hits within the role-playing forums.

Maybe likes are about how likeable you are
