Popular Post amebapiko Posted November 24, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2013 Thought it might be nice to have the ability to like someone’s status update and also make the likes count towards the "likes" statistic on your profile. Just a thought. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolesma Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 not trying to discount the idea, but Help me out here, wouldn't that be similar to viewing their profile? Which is counted..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amebapiko Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 not trying to discount the idea, but Help me out here, wouldn't that be similar to viewing their profile? Which is counted.... its main purpose would be in the recent status updates section on the main page but it would obviously be on their profile feed too.

LeonGarza321 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 like the idea, hope it gets in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirbz Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 OMG THIS ISN'T FACEBOOK!!!! Just kidding. I like the idea, but then people that don't post around the forums would get all those status likes, and I don't really see how that would work out.

Memnoch Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) OMG THIS ISN'T FACEBOOK!!!! Just kidding. I'm not - if you 'like' what someone has said on a status, just respond to it - if you can't find a way of responding to it in a nice way which gives the user a lovely warm feeling inside, then it obviously wasn't worth a like in any case People already try to abuse the like system as it is. I'm all for self gratification and self rewarding don't get me wrong, but in all cases, likes should, in most cases, be only for helpful posts. Well either that or Sly locks 'likes' down to 1 per user per day - in which case it'll calm shit down Edited November 25, 2013 by Memnoch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broy300 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 No. I guess it's the world we live in but why does everyone feel the need to "like" or "rep" someone? I will "like" something when someone puts some thought and time into an answer or I find a meme funny, not because they said Plat #3 Hannah Montana....game sux! I wish Sly would just get of the like system all together. If you want to "like" someone's status, take 30 seconds and send them a PM. Maybe I'm just turning into a ornery old bastard....like AF. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbuk Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I like this idea. ... There are times I wished I could like certain comments in the CB too, but I don't see that ever working out well. But likes are useless anyway, so why be bothered when people abuse them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amebapiko Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Solution: Have another box on your profile for total status update likes, as well as keeping the other likes from forum. Separating the two, as the forum likes are obvious an indicator of usefulness and quality of posting in the forums and the new box can display the amount of likes you have gotten for status updates, which could indicate the activeness of posting statuses and also the quality and likeableness of the stuff you post. To make it look nice the box for "status update likes" could be another colour other than green to make it distinctly different from the forum likes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Ripper Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 This probably won't happen, I don't code the forums, IPS do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Anything with likes tends to promote spam - it just means another thing to mod. Or again it would have to have massive limitations (only 1 status update per 24 hours, etc) Here is an example : https://psnprofiles.com/forums/topic/8857-like-the-person-above-you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amebapiko Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Right, I forgot about the fact you don't code the forums... Anything with likes tends to promote spam - it just means another thing to mod. Or again it would have to have massive limitations (only 1 status update per 24 hours, etc) Here is an example : https://psnprofiles.com/forums/topic/8857-like-the-person-above-you Yeah come to think of it, apart from the fact it's not possible anyway, it wouldn't promote anything useful and the thing we should be here for is the forums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lilith Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Even though I didn't come from .com (far from it), any rep system is generally a terrible idea that leads to begging and/or flaming or the like. At least the like option here seems a lot better and easy going. I never even understood the point of rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpo Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Even though Sly already commented on this, though I would still share my opinion. Personally I don't like the idea at all, the likes on the forum are enough. People are so obsessed with likes and rep, I don't understand why.
