Title: Like button?
Post by: Hoff on June 13, 2011, 11:34:04 AM
A like button is starting to get common on almost every other forum but GTAS. It's a nice way of giving people cred for good posts without having to do a meaningless "+1" reply. So what do you think? :euro:

The absence of the "like" button is the only reason I visit GTAS!!!

"flag as spam" to avoid off-topicness?

Let's invite the WMG for posts with words like 'gosh darn it' in it. Let's become a communistic forum!

Unfortunately none of these would work on this forum, they would be abused a lot. A like button on the other hand can't get pushed enough!

Actually we have one at the hungarian forums. It's pretty cool it also shows the name of the likers. Facebook influence is everywhere  :jajaja:

I'm against that, this ain't Facebook and its quite annoying already anyway. Who cares about (dis)likes of others, fanboys would only push them n stuff. Totally senseless and useless to me. :P

Let's make a poll on who's with and who's against.


Rusch is captain of the against team.

Just because you know almost every single person on this forum will hate on your stupid anime posts

That's another reason, thanks. Didn't think of that one.

But I don't need this place turning into Facebook, if it does I'll become the 'inactive-kind-of-member-who-barely-comes-and-is-like-really-known-around-here-for-some-reason".

This is confusing! Are you minusing Reynolds' post, or are you minusing Krash's plus??? What's wrong with his plus??

Neither. I'm simply against the whole thing. :>

this will only encourage people to simply click "like" instead of actually posting something constructive for the people involved in the video.

waste of time.

If they can summarise their whole post with just a 'like' then it probably wouldn't have been worth posting anyway.

Cool idea.

Well as TB said when there is like and dislike i guess there will be no reason to post anything.
So i guess this is not a good idea.

Yes but this will only promote laziness as people will only have to click a button instead of give a review, which hardly anyone does these days anyway. not to mention 90% of the people who watch a video watch it on youtube first, and download later. so they can just click "like" on youtube.

I just feel it cut credit short for people involved in a video, I like to read comments and reviews, I would not like to see 2 comments and 8 "likes" As an editor i want criticism, why did you like it? why did you not like it? what could have been better? a "like" button discourages people to give a proper response.
