I had a thought in regards to this subject and I hope one of the mods sees this idea. I don't know if it's possible but would we be able to change 'Like' to 'Love'? I think it'd be great to see people loving posts and having posts be loved. It somehow seems more positive and general than a 'like'.

This is a good idea!

Personally not a fan of likes, too facebooky... but Love's! Yeah I can get behind that Big Grin

Aion · 09-07-2015, 03:56 AM,

I also like the idea of how it will scatter the word Love everywhere throughout the website. I feel like that in itself can have positive effect.

I imagine it'd be easy if someone could create a new 'like.gif' button image for Steve to link into the display design, then a simple text output change for the "soNso Liked this post" text output. Seems very doable.

There is energy behind each click, changing it to a less distorted form might have big repercussions! Maybe we should try it if it isn't too big of a deal for Steve.

Shall one of us PM the good Overseers of Bring4th Forums? Big Grin

I was hoping one would see it and comment but sure someone can PM. I just thought it would kind of set us apart from all the mass 'liking' sites out there. Maybe we'll start a new movement.

Aion · 09-15-2015, 06:02 PM,

Well, they said no, they don't think people will use it as much as 'likes'. Oh well.

Parsons · 09-15-2015, 07:56 PM,

That kinda sucks, I sorta liked that idea... What about an "acceptance" button then instead?

Some of us are working on accepting All That Is. So it would be kinda redundant.

Aion · 09-15-2015, 08:48 PM,

I get what they mean, its the idea that because 'Liking' is more general it is more accessible to more individuals.

tamaryn · 09-15-2015, 08:55 PM,

Non-acceptance button would perf

The_Tired_Philosopher · 09-16-2015, 01:30 AM,

Why not both? Love and Like buttons?
Then an acceptable button and forgiveness button.

And maybe a button to push a button that pushes a button that says -errghhhaaaaa-

I errghhhaaaaa this post lol

Anyways. Being serious. Love and Light buttons, User sends light to you through a post. User loves a post.

It'd be like, please be well, I love you friend.
Or just please be well
Or just I love you(r post and, or more.)

Aion · 09-16-2015, 05:10 PM,

I imagine the changes that would need to be made to the site code probably wouldn't be considered worth the result. I think 'Like' is just seen as more 'wide-reaching' than anything else. I think it's less intimate which will supposedly be comfortable for more people.

They seem pretty set on their decision.

outerheaven · 09-16-2015, 05:52 PM,

How 'bout a Who Cares button? Y'all could press it for this post, too. I know I would.

Aion · 09-16-2015, 06:39 PM,

Right. When in doubt, dismiss everything.

The_Tired_Philosopher · 09-16-2015, 06:41 PM,

Or destroy it.

Aion · 09-16-2015, 09:05 PM,

That might be caring a little too much.

Reaper · 09-16-2015, 10:29 PM,

There needs to be a "bullshit" button.

Aion · 09-17-2015, 03:39 AM,

Maybe we should just add more emoticons.

The_Tired_Philosopher · 09-17-2015, 08:22 AM,

You can just make your own, upload them on an imagesharing site (tinypic, imageshack) and [img] tag them into your post.

Could be a agree button : The following # users agree with ...'s post

This is how Slack does it! A real time forum / chat room / archive, Slack is our main communication system at work. They have this concept of "reactions" that allow you to select a message and assign an emoji reaction to it. Different emojis can be used, and it tracks who reacted with what emoji. So you'll see like a smiley or heart next to a message and can see how many people reacted with that emoji--it's kind of like "liking" or "favoriting" something but with more resolution since you can choose any emoji. It can be hilarious, or you can use it to instant polls on a quesiton -- count up who reacted with "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" or something like that. Really cool.

Just an idea.

I think the Like button works fairly well and gives a little more catalyst with the forum. A dislike button might be a little over the top, i could see it causing a little to much catalyst haha. I tend to feel things are fine the way they are. If someone needs to express a dislike or a like for a post, couldn't they simply do so by replying to the post? Seems rather obvious but if we just add a lot of buttons , it seems more likely that people won't reply as much because you can simply give a post a yes or a no vote basically.
