A couple of years ago I was quite 'sniffy' about "Like" buttons, as per FaceAche, where everyone appears to like just about everything.

However, it seems to work well on certain forums that I frequent (such as ww2talk.com). Users don't just like a post because they know the author. Its more a way of saying that that post/subject interests me, but I don't have any useful comments to add to the discussion.

So, just click on the "Like" button if you li… Oh wait, we don't have one!

Charlie/Jornmo: is it possible to add this feature on GambasONE?

Everyone else: is anyone bothered one way or the other?

Even if it is technically possible, I'm not sure what actual value a 'like' has.

When someone writes a post, it tends to fall into three main categories:
<LIST type="decimal">
  1. <LI>Informational</LI>
    <LI>
  2. Request</LI>
    <LI>
  3. Reply (To one of the above)</LI>
</LIST>

On some technical forums, where there are several answers to a submitted question,
quite often a 'vote' is taken to indicate the best answer and the poster gets a point score
which indicates how much 'geek reputation' they have.

If you post a question and you get two answers, one from a person with 1 point and one
from a person with 1000 points, you would tend to go with the more experienced person.

I'm not sure this forum has the volume to require such a system of likes or points or whatever.

Be interested in what others have to say…
