More post feedback options

I agree. Negative reactions only cause friction. But having more choices for positive ones would be cool.

Says the guy that has no clue how much work this would create.

 

But clearly you like irony?

 

I dislike the like button currently for the same reason I dislike it on facebook - it's unnecessary and creates a false sense of status or worth. If people can't tell on their own if their post is good, bad, or indifferent, they shouldn't post.

The only exception would be a "thank you" button for posts that help someone. I don't see that as one of the options and it tends to get abused anyway (like thanking someone for posting a funny meme).

Get rid of all of 'em.

 

I love feedback buttons. Saves me typing...I'm lazy!

 

@Hank, thank you for taking action on something that's been bugging me forever -- well, a lot of years. I'm always annoyed when clicking "Like" and feeling like it's a crapshoot whether the "like recipient" will understand my intention to agree with their comment(s) or some link. "Like" is a missive to the universe, but not quite satisfying.

 

The last upgrade was painful. But it was a huge jump.

I'd rather see semi-regular upgrades (every couple of years) that kept TCF on current and hopefully more secure software than a once every twenty year upgrade.

And yes, I will complain about the new upgrade.

 

+1 to more reaction buttons and +1 to positive ones only. Like, love, laugh, care, sad, would be great.

 

Agreed, and this is one of the ways feedback buttons can improve the quality of discussion in large groups. They end up reducing the amount of "+1" and "me too" and "yes!!!!" and " ^ this" posts, as those posters have another method with which to communicate their drive-by reactions.

In my experience, forums with those feedback buttons tend to have a higher signal-to-noise ratio.
