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

Instead of the 'like' system, let's call it the 'judgement' system.

 

[Nas Vua]

Ok well you can't get rid of judgement. It's not like there's a dislike button..

 

[Beowoof]

I find that the posts that get the most 'likes' are usually some snarky GIF, Youtube video, or some comment that tears down another person's argument in OOC. I think it does promote a lot of hostility by saying, "I approve of this behavior." So it has little to do with how nice you are.

In theory, the 'likes' system is pretty cool. In practice, I don't think it can ever serve its purpose correctly.

I like giving people 'likes'. But I can certainly see that the system can cause problems.

 

[Nikolas Faselli]

Just sayin' most of the likes I've seen are made just because people agree with you or somebody just thinks the post was funny. Hardly anything abusive.

-likes [member="Maria Natalja"]'s post-
See?

PS I ran out of likes

Likes and reputation I like. Quality posts and posters should be acknowledged.

But we're all too petty to handle it properly.

Basically.

Just looking at this thread... Nickolas Imura, Jared Ovmar, and Maria Natalja were the only ones who made any sort of constructive or on-topic post, but several 'likes' were handed out to people who were essentially trolling, thereby encouraging such behavior.

The system can work. But it usually doesn't.

 

[Kitt Solo]

For the love of Pete somebody give Ovmar some lovin.'

*checks to see if her like allotment ran out*

 

[Edward Vyperion]

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

I made an on topic post though

you know what guys, i think we should take this a step further and remove the post counts too so that new members dont feel intimidated

Humans aren't lovey dovey angel creatures sent from heaven to make love and fart out rainbows. Trying to stifle anything that is remotely offensive will just result in a stagnant, clinical, environment that is creepily nice and unnatural. We're competitive creatures, that's why there's a like system anyway. Removing it also removes an incentive to make interesting posts.

I have to admit, I liked that post from just reading it x3

 

[Nikolas Faselli]

Discussions of human nature again, huh?

 

[Kitt Solo]

Thanks for discussing this you guys, this is exactly what I was looking for.



Verdict: Chaos Community is in favor of the 'like' system 24:6 (hopefully with no alt-pads).

 

[Fabula Caromed]

God, how many times is this going to get brought up before people stop asking about it? -_-

[member="Fabula Cavataio"]

I'm done bringing this up. But now that I know it annoys you...

(;

 

[Fabula Caromed]

There are far easier ways to annoy me.

 

[HK-36]

I believe we should take the like system even one step further.

Let's make the amount of likes dictate how powerful your characters is In-Character


*looks to his Like Count*

Please can we do that?
