To introduce 'like/dislike' on comments

[gertrudejekyll02]

Not sure if it's just me but there are so many comments/follow up comments I would like to hit 'like' on but don't necessarily feel the need to comment.

Come on Mumsnet get to it

[ElizabethMainwaring]

Hi op. This suggestion comes up on a regular basis. You will find from the comments that you get below that it is a very unpopular idea. Mumsnet won't do it.

[gertrudejekyll02]

Oh ok, that seems strange as it's potentially less offensive than a comment. Sometimes I read a comment and think yes, spot on but don't feel the need to comment.

[Fortheloveofscience]

No thanks OP, think we’re ok as we are .

[ApplestheHare]

Introducing likes/dislikes drives down real interaction and has been shown to put people off posting in the first place due to fears their posts will be subject to a visible popularity contest. It's not a good idea if you want to encourage a forum where people genuinely engage with each other

[FangsTasticBeast]

No, this isn’t Reddit

[gertrudejekyll02]

Fair enough. Sometimes I just read a comment and I agree wholeheartedly but I don't feel the need to repeat exactly what that person has said. Sometimes, some people are just downright rude.

Was just a thought

Go back to Farcebook if that's what you're into
Dislike

[gertrudejekyll02]

As I said it was just a thought, no need to be rude!

All of mine would get "dislike" so I vote no, thank you.

[Smotheroffive]

Or saying fb is Farcebook?
Or that you need to be where dis/like is a thing?

[Smotheroffive]
