Should we dis the "Like"??

[Sally888]

But how can you vote none. You cant lol. Other then not voting, so its still not accurate.

[cabmonk]

Thank you Sally888,

Please, I think we should avoid grading the poll until it has had a chance to run its course.

I will say that the results, so far, are fascinating.

Maybe I didn't want to vote both, lol. By the way I just find it odd that within hours of the new changes someone would start a poll looking to get rid of the new stuff, or is just me. It would be nice to at least give things a chance before wanting to see it gone. The same way you say to give your poll a chance before people judge it.

Again thank you,

I understood your first criticism. Perhaps you could offer me something constructive?

Thank you,

Please "quote" the post where I advocated the removal of anything from SC.

Let me start be extending my thanks to everyone who participated


I may have been too ambiguous forming the poll question and/or posters were biased by the thread title and then misread the poll question.


I was asking which you would prefer to get on your posts. That is why I had the thread in the Discussion section and semantically, it makes more sense.
You have someone give you "a "like"" for your post.
You have someone give you "some "rep"" for a post.


While I realized what was happening early on, I decided to let it run and see what happened.
I wont comment on the results other than to say they seem to demonstrate a link between bias, assumption and group mind think.




Furthermore,


dis is a word. As a prefix verb it can be loosely defined as "…a word… placed before another…" Some great examples are discuss, display, discover and my favourite…. disc jockey!


Any inaccuracy would result from a small sample size, which would render the results statistically invalid, not because I didn't include enough voting options.
I felt that "none" was too selfless and "both" was too selfish. Again we are talking about recieving not giving.


Thank you all again. Remember what Elvis once said..... "When things are going wrong don't go with them"

I think we need to redo this poll with radio button selections (i.e. one selection only) and have the following options:
What would you prefer?
- Keep the "Like" button and use it along with Reputation
- Get rid of the like button
- I don't care

[AmberLab]

It's possibly a tangent of how your title was worded. That said, your signature is quite firm on what you prefer. Off to rep you!

[FallenPixels]

I say we keep both and people can use whichever they want, I thumbed up before and repped the poster, what is the difference now? It just gives me a way to 'thumbs-up' a reply

I agree... but I also feel that:
- Reputation
- Thumbs up
- Like
Are just too many options...
I'm thinking maybe thumbs up should be integrated with the likes... so that if someone thumbs up or likes the first post it has the same effect.

Just wondering, how does giving the first post a thumbs up tell people you like say post 38.
Just curious, not that its a big deal either way to me though. Reps only you see and likes everyone see's someone gave a post a "like".

[RML]

Sounds great to me but that is a completely different poll and I dont want it associated with this one in any way.

At no point did I mention the removal of any button.

AmberLab was kind enough to note that I even have a siggie that should have cleared up any misconceptions.

[Wendark]

Actually you can choose both options in this poll.... just tick both

Well, that explains the 15 votes each.

[cabmonk]

I got what you meant in the end but it was worded just slightly wrong then. Like I miss word a lot of stuff so no biggie,lol.

I am clinging to the faint hope a few people got the poll question, voted but were scared to enter the pool with all the sharks?

Nothing about the wording has changed from the time I started the thread until now.

The only change has been in perception and sadly there are still misunderstandings
