MNHQ - could there be a compromise that you can only 'like' something on a thread or a thread itself after you've posted on it?

I don't want a like button. If you insist on a like button than I am afraid I will insist that the Smile emoticon is obliterated and never seen again. It's horribly abused.

BonkeySaysTeamGBAreTheMollocks · 04/08/2012 21:26

WE NEED NO LIKE BUTTON, OR THANKS BUTTON, OR BE ABLE TO COMMENT UNDERNEATH A COMMENT How fecking confusing would that be ?? Confused

There, I have said my piece!

catinboots · 04/08/2012 21:16

or cunt's

catinboots · 04/08/2012 21:15

commas are for cunts

HecateHarshPants · 04/08/2012 21:14

Well, that'll be it.

You missed out a comma.

That's unacceptable.

TeamGBIWI · 04/08/2012 21:07

Well, I really can't see what the problem with that was. Unless you spelt it wrongly, or something?

catinboots · 04/08/2012 21:04

I think it was something along the lines of 'fuck off to fb or nms you cunt'

Not sure though Grin

TeamGBIWI · 04/08/2012 20:59

Oh cat - what did you say?! Grin

HecateHarshPants · 04/08/2012 20:56

did you do one of those blank posts or something?

Or if not, what the heck did you say? Grin

usualsuspect · 04/08/2012 20:00

Mnetters don't do change. Grin

That was 'like' as in 'you hearing me dudes'

Not ''''LIKE'''

catinboots · 04/08/2012 19:43

Erm. Was I not clear? Can you not hear me?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Obvs I think my opinion overrides all others

NetworkGuy · 04/08/2012 19:32

Bath, hot, now Grin

NetworkGuy · 04/08/2012 19:31

Hecate - if there were 100 threads I would expect a lot of MNetters who had asked to have left. I think it is under half a dozen threads.

NetworkGuy · 04/08/2012 19:30

PS Thanks Helen. All understood. Just goes silent for months days from MNHQ on some threads where a brief closing "on the to do list, but don't hold your breath" type statement would have been nice. I trust that is the case and will definitely nudge at initially regular, and then increasingly frequent intervals, in the Autumn and Winter, respectively.

HecateHarshPants · 04/08/2012 19:29

You want me to read a hundred threads? Do you think I am not a lazy person or something Shock Grin

NetworkGuy · 04/08/2012 19:26

I remembered from last year, I certainly won't forget, however many keep saying Noooooooooo (and the thread last year was 3rd, 4th or moreth about the same topic, just that most who have asked have been driven away overwhelmed by the stalwarts stick in the muds who think it can be banished forever on their say-so).

Hecate read all the previous threads asking about it, and all the arguments for and against. The against are mainly
a) we don't want it
b) it is a bit like FaceBook, and we think that's bad
c) it will kill discussion (never know unless tried!)
d) it adds nothing (but that ignores fact it would be optional so no effect if a person hates the idea)
e) it will mean there is a chance of bullying (as if that doesn't happen already)
f) will get lots of negative votes and (ahhhh, grow a thicker skin!)

I will leave you to collate the reasons 'for' as I am about to soak in the bath for an hour or more.

HecateHarshPants · 04/08/2012 19:14

What would be the point of it?

Not being snarky or anything Grin I just don't get it.

It's not adding an opinion, chatting or contributing to a thread. So what's it for? And would it be a big long list of names? A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H ... like this post.?

What for?

I stress I am not being funny Grin but actually asking in all seriousness.

HellenicGamesMumsnet · 04/08/2012 19:09

@TeamGBIWI

Grin @ Helen.

You think he's going to forget, don't you?!

No, we know NetworkGuy better than that! Grin

TeamGBIWI · 04/08/2012 19:03

Grin @ Helen.

You think he's going to forget, don't you?!

HellenicGamesMumsnet · 04/08/2012 18:45

Hello. And hats off to NetworkGuy for your persistence Smile

We haven't forgotten about the fact that we'd forgotten about this

But, with the best will in the world, even if more than a few folks would like the trial, it really ain't going to happen over the summer. We just don't have to resources to sort that out over the main holiday period.

Do please nudge us to revisit this - if you'd like us to - in a month or so's time.
