Like button

[SMHL]

Would it be an idea to have a like/dislike button on posts? It would save SO much hot air and posting and reposting from people.

Also, is it possible please to link to other posters when you post? As an "@" button?

like buttons kill conversations.
Mn is for conversations.

Therefore,

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NO

NO

Do MNHQ really think we've all changed our minds since October?

How many times a year am I going to have post, a big fat NO

I have noticed lately that lots of posters don't seem to want an actual conversation. They just dash in say their bit once on a thread then on to the next. They just want their opinion to be known but no actual conversation about it.

What? NO!! This has always been the hard line.

Like buttons just encourage personality contests. Folk should take a post on its merit, not the amount of likes it has.

Also as TwoMinutes points out, those of us who have been here for yonks don't always click on these threads because the like button argument has been done to death. Which means you might get a skewed result if people don't even know this is a voting thread. If you're going to do a vote at least make it clear in the title.

Timed edit function would not work. Things move too fast.

AIBU to hate dog shit?
YANBU
I agree
You are totally right

Edited: AIBU to hate all dogs and think they should be put down?
YANBU
I agree
You are totally right

I'm going to draw the line now

I think a timed edit function would work well for thread titles. Might solve the 'hilarious typo' situation.

Who wants that solving?!

Me. After the 'hilarious' microwaving dog thread.

Am also puzzled by "mixed views". I thought the consensus was an overwhelmingly resoundingly emphatic:

No.

Ffs RTFT MNHQ

NO NO NO NO NO NO

Nethuns is the place for that kind of bullshit.

NO NO NO and thrice NO. It's A terrible idea and I also can't see that the views are very mixed

I vote yes. Sometimes you want to show appreciation for a post but CBA to post. A like button is miles away from glittery tickers or whatever we always call them here to one-up NM.

usual's like

MN royalty [brown nose]
posters who joined because of PB and cba to post a well thought out response to sporn threads

I love the way the OP returned to the thread GF

how hard is it to type 'great post guerre'?
