Glitch Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I think we should have the ability to like statuses. There already seems to be a community within the status bar, why not add this option? This also helps if you don't necessarily have a response but you would like to show that you like a status update instead of letting it seemingly go unnoticed.

Cin Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I've wanted to, but this is not facebook. So no support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Agree with the above. If a user likes a status, they could always notify that member in a PM or something. Want to go like status updates, use Facebook or whatever people are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Or just do like I did for something funny Koko posted earlier: tell them 'I like this', then go and like a random post. It all adds up to the same total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitch Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I've wanted to, but this is not facebook. So no support.Many sites have a like system. Not just Facebook. I also feel like that is a very lazy excuse. If you like something from another site why not add it to yours? It's not like you're completely copying that site. Agree with the above. If a user likes a status, they could always notify that member in a PM or something.That's too much work, and it also feels pretty awkward. What if you just got a random PM that just said "Nice status"? Or just do like I did for something funny Koko posted earlier: tell them 'I like this', then go and like a random post. It all adds up to the same total.That also feels very awkward imo. If everyone does that it kinda makes repping posts pointless because you're not liking the post itself, which is the whole point.

Funny, as laziness seems to be the core reason for you wanting this to be a thing. So you can like, like, like in silence with little proper interaction. :mellow: What's the problem with just saying 'this is funny/I like this' in the status?

Lt. Colonel Remo Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Personally I feel like it will just kill the site even more. 5 posts is all it takes to make it into the daily top posters. That's pretty bad for a site as supposedly active as ours. Likes on status's will just make it even worse since you have people like me just blatantly fishing for reps. No support. EDIT: Plus that means even more random spambot likes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Murphy ☆ Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Why is it that every time someone pitches a suggestion, someone always has to say: "It will kill the site" Or "This is not Facebook" The status updates are basically carrying this website, might as well get rid of status updates completely if we don't want to be anything like Facebook. The fact that we aren't open to new ideas is what will "kill the site". I like the idea of liking a status. Why go through all the trouble of commenting on a status and liking a post when you could just like the status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Colonel Remo Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 The problem is that people will just simply move away from posting anything in the forums. Now you don't need to know anything about anything. You can post zero times and have a pretty big status following. This isn't a chatroom, this is a site that generally revolves around card games, but sometimes has other interests. Instead the status bar doesn't even offer that and just gives us pure unfiltered drama and spam. I know the slippery slope fallacy isn't a true argument, but I feel it applies here. If we continue to expand the status bar, the status bar will simply replace the site. Even C&O died, which is something no one would have believed two years ago. It isn't so unreasonable to restrict the influence the status bar should have. EDIT: Case in point, right now (even in the future, if you're still reading this post). Seriously just go monitor the bar for a day and count all the things you genuinely would rep someone for in a post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aix Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I don't think we can with the current status bar plugin, but saying this isn't Facebook is hardly an argument, but honestly you can just say lol.

Kazooie Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I just want to post that a lot of what goes on with the status bar doesn't fit anywhere else on the forum the majority of times, so claiming that it "kills the forum" is like claiming that planting a flower is killing the rain forests or some equally dumb analogy. There is no reason to not allow statuses to be repped, aside from the fact that we don't know if the technology we have allows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tourmaline Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Or, how about this instead of arguing with no goal: the feature is implemented while those who supported it are glad and those who do not support it see absolutely no change for the worse. If posts can already receive reputation without needing a reason (like they used to) and you desist from refuting against the significance of those, how do you find reason to capriciously attack the repping of status updates? It is not directly the logic being questioned, but if one is to resist against repping status updates, they are providing the same EXACT premises and conclusion that can be applied to repping posts; a widely accepted system. More so, has it ever come across any of your minds that the concise nature of the status bar adds potential social interaction? Here, even put simply so the illogical masses could understand. Premise 1: Status updates are quickly made by people to quickly post thoughts and invoke small conversations. Premise 2: Many status updates are not significant enough to warrant a topic nor are the participants desiring to have the dedication to longstanding topics. Conclusion: People who would not post topics anyway create more social interactions by allowing rapid, transient conversations to take place where none would be allowed otherwise. By virtue of this, status updates serve absolutely no purpose besides a means for the unmotivated or apathetic, who would otherwise lurk, to interact in some way. I sincerely invite you to even try giving me stupidity that people should motivate themselves to post when that is of THEIR discretion (which nobody here should have any right trying to influence) or that giving people who are otherwise inert the ability to participate kills the forum. I am genuinely one of the more unmotivated individuals of this community, which is why my interactions are almost purely through status updates. Many are very similar to me and, without the status bar, a large portion of the community would have no other means rapid, concise and entertaining enough to make participating at all worth their time.
