Hello,

I know it sounds terrible, but how difficult would it be to get a like/dislike button here on the forums? For threads/comments?

What's the point of that exactly?

Forum /= Facebook. :D

Honestly,

Often enough I wind up going on the website via cellphone browser. Sometimes its just easier, to click a button then type out a message of agreement. Lame though the reason is, it was an Idea I had. :) And lazy I suppose.

I can understand a few reasons for Oreo's suggestion.

The ease of use may be one reason, but some people have a difficult time composing a post to add onto something they believe is already thoroughly stated by another person. Some might prefer the anonymity of it; not having to put themselves out there by agreeing with something that appears unpopular.

I don't know how I feel about the idea, in all honesty. We've already got a voting option for ideas. I suppose, in reality, most people wouldn't pay attention to how many ideas get 'likes' or 'dislikes' count; especially as the threads are chronological. Perhaps if there was more utility to it, it might be viewed a more worthy endeavor (though I'm not saying it isn't already).

Do you guys really want Isaldur to be the most loved on the forums too? I only have enough time for so many mediums to be awesome in.

No to like/dislike!
