Thanx for the heads up on how to disable useless info.

Its a like button but is it for the thread or for each individual post?

That is it, Rubicon. It doesn't function and we haven't yet heard any answers as to why it's there.

I don't like the premise.

It is like a teacher saying " Let's all point to the bad child".

Already, in the last 15 years, civil discourse has rapidly gone from "let's just agree to disagree" to painting all who express an opposing opinion to yours as "hate".

"Hate" of the person prevails and that is why civil discourse has become an ugly, lye-throwing battle.

If anything is given a "Like", it should be a particular post, not the person or entire thread!

Or, to quickly see a consensus of opinion on a post, just put a thumbs-up Agree button with a thumbs-down Disagree button and then show stats on agree/disagree on that post. This is done on Disqus comments on news/talk websites.

Attaching "Like" or "Dislike" to a person is poisonous to a civil discussion and it will breed nothing but discord and even hatred for people having a different or unique perspective on a topic. People have their opinions based on real-life experiences of which you might never have even heard!

I believe it is a behavior modification instrument. too many dislikes and you better change your attitude because you are offending a lot of people or visa versa

ADMIN:
I agree with many of the previous comments, so if you are planning to implement this function, please provide a way to OPT OUT, or I can see this being a serious reason to stop posting........This looks like it could easily be used to berate or bully another poster.

Lets here from you with your intent, thank you. A VERY concerned used.

I agree.

It smells of Newspeak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I went into the Usercp place and followed instructions to rid myself of these messages and they still show up. PITA

ALL -

The tags are for Google and SEO.

The 'Post/Thanks/Likes is some coding we are experimenting with and is in no way a final implementation. It isn't appearing or working how we want this to so please disregard we will definitely communicate when or if we do anything.

Thank for the feedback.
