Please may we have a like/dislike tick box above each post?

[Peaceflower]

I frequently agree with something a poster has said, but have nothing further to add.

Rather than posting a post, or an "I agree with previous poster" post, can we have a tickbox above each post where you can blue/red arrow or like/dislike? And a running total of how many blue/red arrows for the post?

A bit like in the comments section of newspapers, if you see what I mean.

NO ITS NOT FRIGGING FACEBOOK

If I disagree with a poster but have nothing further to add I just move on without posting. Like/dislike tick boxes sound like some strange popularity contest to me, really don't agree we should have them.

no, no, no.

if you have nothing further to add do just that

Oh gawd, please no!

Can I put I put a big, fat tick of agreement next to Trinitys post please

oh gawd no

like the daily mail website

thought this was a talk board

Yuck. Why would we want that ?

The purpose of a forum is discussion. Writing "Like" (or even ticking the "Like" box) is not discussion. If you like or dislike something you must have a reason for it so put some effort in and share your reasons.

Please no. Otherwise it'll be turned into a giant popularity contest!

bloody hideous idea.

no

please no

Bleugh...

Had nothing to say that someone else hasn't already said, but just had to say something...

No to tick boxes.

No. Nononononononono.

Hideous idea! Sorry but no, this forum is meant to be for discussions - if you want to join in a discussion then do - that can just be to say "I agree with Nick" or to give more detail, or to head the conversation in another direction. If you don't have anything to add, just nod quietly to yourself and move on...

NOooooooooooooo! Daily Bigot-tastic. We're here for wit and informed banter, not clicky-clicky banality.
