Actual +1 for posts

Postby Bandage » Thu Feb 02, 2012 8:29 pm

I've seen this similar feature in various forums, and personally I pretty much like it.

If you're not very familiar with it, it's a some kind of a "like" for a post. If you somewhat like or support the post's content, you can just simply hit that "+1" button in the corner, or where ever it is. Your +1 will be displayed underneath that +1'd post.

Just a little nice addition that won't do bad things to the forum itself, I believe. I don't know if it's possible to implement into this forum code style thing, though.

Any +1's for this idea?

I agree with TheGrandmaster. Lots of times this is used for the joy of +1'ing an interesting quote and or such.

I was in a forum with a similar system,but with -1 too.

Goddamit,someone simply created some 20 fakes and started to -1 every single post.
Two days later,the Karma system was removed.

Not karma, just +1 which is similar to "liking" on facebook. It is post based, you like a post not an account. It is not tracked, just when people see a post they can like it rather than posting "+1"

^ This. Will also prevent unnecessary bumbs at some certain situations.

Also I can't see our current community would do all that work for 5+ accounts and use them just to give more +1's than once.

Or click Support.

Example: http://forums.meez.com/forums/suggestio ... tails.html

Those meezers on the forums can suggest things such as new animations,rooms,clothing.
So if we could do that it would be more organized.

So long as there is no record on your account of how many thumbs up you have gotten ever then people probably wouldnt bother.

Besides that: "You must have 10 posts in order to +1 a post" or something

Dear TheGrandMaster, TheGeekZeke101 and ChaosTLW,

Karma on forums is very useless. If it's for anything, it's just to tell friends "good post!" without having to post. It saves a lot of space, and makes for an overall better forum community.

Semper Games,
