Expression Limitations

trish23

I'm sure this has been brought up before but why do we only have a 'Thanks' option on Boards? If I 'Thank' something it automatically looks like I agree with the whole cat & caboodle & everything's rosy. Why can't I 'Like' something even though I mightn't agree with everything they say. Why can't I 'Dislike' something? I'd love to see the following options;

• Crap
• Bull****tin me
• Will hang around & see where this is going
• Interesting
• Genius

What do you think?

Cill Dara Abu

Because this is not Facebook!

earpiece

Need a big fat 'LAUGH' button

aaronjumper

Because any of those buttons would just lead to arguments and bans.
Nobody in After Hours would survive the ensuing carnage.

Ghandee

Wishes there was a fúck off button right now.

hondasam

Don't thank anything then op, problem solved.

Senna

If only there was a way we could reply to different posts and verbalise our feeling:(

It's a discussion board, not a retarded social networking site.

Latchy

FatherLen

Just quote the post and give your comment. There's no need to bloat the forum with unnecessary buttons.

hondasam

We have enough threads on the Thanks button, imagine if we had more things to complain about.

earpiece

OP, have you tried expressive dance?
Might be just what you need.

Aoifey!

Thanks is grand, just leave it alone FFS.

Thrill

We could do with a "meh" button for "thanks" threads.

FatherLen

your avatar is perfectly suited for your post though.

If there was an "unnecessary" button I would have unnecessaried your post.

NicsM

Because change is bad.

Also, I seem to remember there used to be a rep/points system in place long ago but it was done away with because of the hassle it caused.

You can't "Dislike" something because then you wouldn't be contributing anything to the discussion.

Kojak

We could also have a "blast them with píss button"

mackg

We need lots of white chocolate buttons, that would do me.

You said what you wanted to say and people replied with what they wanted to say, isn't that how freedom of speech works?

John Doe1

We need a "worse than hitler" button and a "wrong forum newb" button

Pherekydes

No one's mentioned the feedback forum yet.

oh wow,christmas has come early right,there is a way!!
its called a message board,people write their message in a reply box/window and post it like that,neat innit? :cool:

have long recognised a user am well familiar with; being on here to; he also probably knows to well what these feedback or positive/negative comment options do as he used mine to bully and intimidate.

folks who want a positive/negative type system shoud go read yahoo answers to see what having a feedback/or negative option can do,its not a forum as such,but its where people can post questions and/or answer other peoples, and valid Qs & As are totaly overrun by bored kids trying to troll and adults who are either attention seeking or trolling to overcompensate for mental/personality faults.

only people who have maturity and mental stability will use this sort of system for what its designed for,its better just to comment to someone in a post if agree with them or not, or send them a PM.
