ADD A 'LIKE' BUTTON MUMSNET!!!

[schoolsgettingonmynerves]

Some of the responses to posts are hilarious and I just want to show that person that I agree!

Come on mumsnet team it's a no brainer!

Add the word 'agree' if you'd like to see that! (See if there was a like button it would be soooo much easier...)

Great post iK8.

No from me.

Is it time to do the scores from this thread anyway? What's the consensus?

Loads of nos, a few yes and one fuck off.

When I said fuck off to owl it was because I can't stand the whole pompous replies to posts

I wasn't being pompous

No to quotes
No to likes
No to rating posts
No to avatars
No to tickers

Just no. Don't fuck with our site.

I do like the fact that MN has a "don't care any more" button. I use it regularly.

So a summary.

"A like button hasn't done Facebook any harm.
Plus, sometimes I'm not in the mood to chat, maybe I just want to read a thread & contribute with a few likes."

Selling wine and chocolate hasn't done my local corner shop any harm (and I am definitely in the mood for those sometimes). That doesn't mean that MN should do it. MN and my corner shop are different beasts with different purposes, as are MN and Facebook. If someone wants Facebook then there is always... well... Facebook. There's no point MN trying to become Facebook Light, because that niche is already occupied. Rather than joining the stampede towards homogeneity, I think it needs to hold onto what makes it different from the rest of the web.

No.

Do the noes have it then?

It looks like it.

Hurrah

What the Jeff is so difficult about typing "I agree with Pag" eh?

And if you really, really like a post, pm the OP.

Possibly the most interesting conclusion to draw from this thread is that while it is a personal attack and deletable offence to tell someone to Fuck Off on MN, it is apparently OK to say that you would like to tell someone to Fuck Off .

"pm the OP"

Isn't that a little creepy, and stalkerish?

Yikes- if you really, really like a post, just reply effusively!

PM the op telling her you like her posts? is this a dating site?
& it is time consuming typing 'I agree with Pag' - what if she posts 10 times & I agree with all 10 posts?

Hear hear, like like! See motley fool.....

'I agree with everything Pag said' covers that.

"it is time consuming typing 'I agree with Pag'"

If "I agree with Pag" is so time consuming , try:

^ This.

Or the old MN favourite:

What Pag said.

Oh you know what I meant.

Maybe we need a Pag button?

I agree with what your saying pag once would suffice I am sure.

In fact I was a yes. But I am changing to a no, because the OP spun me out with the ranting.

Please no... copying Facebook would not be an improvement! If you want likes, updates on peoples' emotional state and general nonsense sharing go to FB, if you want an altogether more engaging experience, go to MN!

Agree!

One of the reasons I like MN rather than the other parenting forums like Netmums (which has a 'like' system) is that the quality of debate here is better, posters have a broad array of opinions which they aren't too afraid to express/censored for, and it's just generally more grown up. A 'like' button would definitely detract from those things, it would signal a 'dumbing down' to me.

(...I know that this is 7 pages later but wanted to vote 'no' because MNHQ said they were paying attention to our opinions on the matter, and I really don't want a like button!)

No, no, no, NO!

Hope I've made my feelings sufficiently clear.

I completely agree with what Pregnantberry has just said above ^^
