New feature: Like and Dislike added to posts

Say nothing. If you don't do anything, you can't do anything wrong. If you just go around Liking/Disliking posts and you don't actually post any kind of reply, no one can get at you or dislike your posts. You can dislike everyone's posts and you are safe as long as you don't make a post.

(that is what I'm seeing from the yella belly girly cowards....)

Gosh Viv , I sort of like the new like/dislike way of a quick way of rating a post , and I hope that the Owner keeps the old Rep system as well , , both add to the ambience of the 'New and unfolding PF' .

and while I'm at it , I'm also going to give the PF Owner / PF Staff , and especially the Mods and Advisors a little credit for sticking it out and hanging tough the last few months . . .

I've been harsh in my criticism at times , and had reason to be , as had we all . . .

Things seem to be getting better all the time , and as long as I see progress , I'll be here .

But would ya mind picking up the pace a bit ?

I like the new feature, personally.

It's simple and convenient, and a good tool to encourage civil discourse.

...I don't do the 'Dislike', but that's a personal discipline of mine. lol

LOL, they publish stats but we're not allowed to post them... go figger!

I agree with Viv... we've gotta lotta cowards running around disliking every single post, but rarely responding with anything except 'dislike'. I think it's hilarious... shows their true character.

Something else I get a kick out of... you get the same notification for a good vote that you get for a bad... so you never know until you get there which way it'll go.

All in all, I like the like/dislike feature. Quick easy way to provide feedback and you can hit the same poster multiple times when they're on a roll. Just the way it should be.

I posted similar, but the post was lost in Database Error. PF Roulette, it kids you it's a like/thanks and then shafts and taunts you. I can hear the Admin laughing.

Viv , the PF Staff / PF Admin can laugh all they want , but it seems to me as though they'll be laughing to themselves , as many posters have left PF for other web-sites .

I don't think anybody's laughing, HB. Hopefully the folks who left will come back IF and WHEN the upgrade is ever finished. With one feature a month, maybe by 2014?

Granny says, "Great, just what we need...

anyway , people sometimes will register a like or a dislike to a post that has nothing to do with whether or not they want to debate / discuss something with you , just saying .

LOL , don't tell me that you've been Advisor for 3 months and you're already paranoid ... sheeeshhh..

Shortly before my post (#63), I'd been given 6 thumbs down in a row by the same member in the same thread. I'd only had one prior to that. In this particular case, the member I was conversing with was apparently annoyed by my insistence that they add some weight to their argument.
