Rev Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 The like button is an easy way to agree/complement a poster on their view. Negative reactions would be the opposite, a chance to hammer posters with unpopular views, or even just opposite to yours, not by challenging with reasoned argument, but by selecting a emoji to express disapproval without explaining why. You'd create more work for yourself and the admins, for little benefit, after all you can already call BS and more using emoji's, so I don't see the point. It would be better perhaps to allow likes, but display them only to the user rather than on show to the wider forum? That way, people can still show they like/agree with posts without it becoming a competive thing, if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a lot of posts and threads to monitor, and damage could have been done before the mods have spotted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what "damage" it can do, as you say there are a lot of topics and posts to monitor, would you say this forum is toxic compared to others or are we on top of it? I would say a little poo icon that can be used when Derby concede a goal, a dodgy transfer rumour comes up would be far less damaging than the post editor itself that gives members the ability to post anything they like. A shitty analogy would be do you take cars off the road because a minority can't be trusted or do you deal with the minority and take them off the road? Like to think we do a fairly decent job keeping it friendly on here and more than capable of monitoring If reactions are being used to target members. 1) We have the option to disable reactions for members. 2) Members also have the option to turn notifications off for reactions, so unless you kept checking your posts to see if anyone has reacted you wouldn't even know.

Playing devils advocate. Some people may take the reactions a little too personally, after all their are people that are super sensitive irl, however appear strong and confident on line. On a side note, this site has excellent moderation, and everyone knows the rules and 99.9% abides by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimbeard Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Being a grumpy old git with a deep seated aversion to change, I think that this is probably a bad idea. (Apart from the BOOO! button) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
