can we "like" posts? sometimes people really make me laugh and I would like to "like" their posts, is there a like button, and if not can we get one please?

did you do one of those blank posts or something?

Or if not, what the heck did you say?

Oh cat - what did you say?!

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

Not sure though

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

Well, that'll be it.

You missed out a comma.

That's unacceptable.

commas are for cunts

or cunt's

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

There, I have said my piece!

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

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've told you once and I'll tell you again:

Honeydragon

Don't care was made to care

Don't care was hung

Don't care was put in a pot and boiled till he was done.................

Don't want. Shan't have. Ner.

It will be an absolute pleasure to remind MNHQ about them running a trial of this, after the comments which seem to suggest it can never happen.

I could be swayed by thumbs......but NEVER a like.

This thumbs thing. Would you see who gave them? so Hecate, Honey, cat and teamgb gave networkguy a big thumbs...

Oh, can you imagine? The paranoia? The pettyness? Downing a poster on every thread because you don't like them?

the threads about having been given thumbs down? Oh dear god the threads! AIBU to think that everyone giving me thumbs down is BULLYING MEEEEEEEE...

Hecate......you just sold it to me

BRING ON THE THUMBS!

It really will make this place like a fight club, a Roman Arena of pain and flame.

soooooooooo not my point, you naughty naughty thing!

Given the proposal was to make it optional, you can all rest assured you'll never see any thumbs up / thumbs down info if you prefer not to...

Making it an option negates so many reasons people have put forward for not wanting it at all, I find it puzzling there is still so much argument still going on.

But why?? I'm still struggling with this.

Why, why, why do you want it so much?

That's what I don't get.

It's a good idea which will enrich the MNing experience because...

I honestly can't think of any way in which it will improve things.

But, as networkguy rightly points out - those who don't want it, don't have to use it.

But others will still 'rate' your posts, right? so how will that make you feel?

I always associate 'thumbs' with the fuckwits who comment on the 'Add A fucking stupid and bigoted Comment' section of my local newspaper's website.

I think it is to engage the lurkers, or so Justine said on the last thread.

Cue a load of people saying stuff like 'we don't give a fuck about lurkers'

It is a moot point to say you could hide it.

Nobody would hide it because the nosiness in seeing how many people have thumbed up/thumbed down your posts would take over,

I don't think it is a good idea or necessary. It would remind me of the knuckledraggers who post inflammaroty comments on the Daily Mail and then see gleefully 'bring on the red flags'.

Yes. How could you not want to see

Unless opting out meant opting out and others did not have the option of liking or disliking your posts

I just think it would create all sorts of bad feeling.
