Inspired by the 11 people who completed the first survey from this thread: Can we have a like button on every posters post an expanded survey of suggestions has been put together.

Anyone without a sense of humour is invited to click Hide this thread, frothing beserkers are invited to start their own thread in AIBU and the rest of you please click www.surveymonkey.com/s/MM3TBDD. You get one go at the survey.

Results will be published on Friday.

  1. Things are slowing down a bit now. Perhaps we are approaching critical volume?

The gap on Q1 is widening. 21 votes between top two answers.

Ironic that I've been picked out as a pro-like in my posts earlier by Tortoise - because I would actually prefer not to have a like button - because I like to see who is supporting what ever position. However, having read the other thread, I do see that there is an argument in favour of it - which if everyone had just clicked 'like' I wouldn't have seen.

I lurk on a lot of threads. But if I don't want to think about putting a sensible response together, even if it is as short as 'Go KatieM' or whatever, I don't post - although I would sometimes want to keep track of a thread and post later, in which case I 'watch this thread'.

KatieM - that colour really suits you [hwink] I'm envisaging you identifying H&S issues from [hbiscuit]s now... Like wrong type of biscuits for dunking leading to burned tongues, or potential for damage to eyes, requiring use of eye protection when biscuits being thrown out to the ravening hoards trust MN staff by Justine [hgrin]

Ooh yes, good word, or is it just overthrow?

Scores on the doors 579. Contentious Q1 has opened up with a difference of 12 votes now which is a swing to the other side of 13 votes. It has the narrowest of margins.

Everything is still to play for and just under 25.5 hours to go.

But AWimbaWay you could take over from Hecate!

Just imagine pages of I agree with AWimbaWay.

You could be next queen of MN!

BTW Katie, have you lost weight? You are looking delightfully pert from this angle. Great hair too. And your intelligence is legendary. Now gimme the wine. It's wine o'clock here. Gimme gimme gimme

I voted for a like button Grin

Reasons;

I am lazy

Sometimes a poster or posters write something exactly as I would have put it, a thread would be most dull if 50 posts were taken up with people writing 'I agree with ...'

It's an easy way of seeing if a certain piece of advice, product, opinion is popular or unpopular without it coming down to which poster has the loudest voice.

It's almost an on the spot version of this survey.

I'll try to think of more but I was supposed to leave for school 5 minutes ago!

And having said all that I don't really care, was just when I did the survey I thought 'yeh, I'd probably use that'.

HollyGoHeavily · 13/10/2011 08:22

Every single utterance on Mumsnet should be carefully thought out, intellectually validated and beautifully articulated. A like button is far too easy.....

Yes, quite.

Tortoiseinadarkspell · 13/10/2011 02:10

I am really surprised that this is so close. I hope someone who has voted in favour of the Like button (apart from mistle, I mean. I think hers is, ironically, the only articulated pro-Like position on this thread) comes and explains why the actual jeff one would not want to bother writing "I agree with Hec " or actually share an opinion, but still want to 'participate' by way of clicking an anonymous Like button? What is the point of that? Nobody cares if you like something if they don't know why, it doesn't add to the debate, and nobody knows that it was you anyway. So...why? Honestly?

570 responses.

Sorry I missed some posts when I went out earlier. All offers of tat valued items for the prize fund gratefully accepted.

None of the links are dodgy Shock but only the second link to the questions was working because I forgot to make the first one public.

Ok, I'll admit I did the survey in the opening minutes and haven't posted on this thread till now. i have posted on others; am I still a lurker?

PelvicFlAAAAARGHOfSteel · 12/10/2011 23:57

I want a 'like' button just so I can like the post about having a 'ffs' button. Far more useful IMHO. Grin
