I have become a bit of a lurker on this forum but sometimes I read something that I want to show agreement with but there is no facility for that.
I'm not advocating a like/hate regime, but it would be nice if we could acknowledge something that makes universal sense...
Has this technology progressed since the forums conception?
-
This ain't Facebook.
-
We don't have that function: the closest we have is the Karma function, which has a chequered history here.

Doh.. Steve... You miserable, grumpy old furker..
Don't you like a bit of appreciation?
-
..forgot the obligatory Smillie:
:D

Yes. But the furkers tend to find it easier to express than the lurkers.

There's the forum best bits thing.

Rhi.. I'm a lazy furker at heart...
I was looking for an easy way out...

Ohh OK, Challange accepted...

The absence of any of my material clearly shows that isn't working.

There are eight pages of "material."
Perhaps it's just that your word salad gibberish isn't there? (i.e. no 'best bits').

Just a thought...
I'm sure that after a few months people will get bored of "hating" the Sassy posts, Vlads' or mine for that matter and use such a function as it was intended?
Instead of knee-jerk, give it time.. It might work to your advantage!!
If in three months it is still abused then have a review...

People don't 'hate' the posts of those you mention, they delight in them Ricky. Gives 'em something to pounce on,pull apart and ridicule. I'm probably not innocent of that sometimes.

When we had the so called 'karma' a while back it wasn't pleasant at all, there were many more hates than likes. It was much better to scrap it.
-
Karma aye? Sounds peaceful and calm - obviously wasn't ;D.
We show whether we like or dislike a post by how we respond - or by not responding at all!.

It definitely wasn't! :o

I'm intrigued floo, but won't ask except - what was the opposite of karma? If Karma is reward, the down side is a penalty or punishment.
I have visions of emoticons of bouquets of flowers, hearts and champagne and the reverse featuring people in stocks having rotten fruit thrown at them or dunked in a gunge tank - or worse.
Sounds like fun actually :D.

Quite a few of us had more likes than hates. I guess it depends on the quality of one's posts.

It was weird it was called 'karma', as you say the word implies something pleasant, but as I said, more often than not it was used to diss a person.
-
Ah-so, that was their karma :).
There's enough dissing without having a button to do it for us so it's good there is no longer such a facility.

No it doesn't.
