tartanbeastie Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 would anyone else like to see a thumbs up down facility on each post to see what people think of individuals responses? instead of thumbs it could be a chicken head dial like on an amp which could be set to show what you thought of the posting. up for good, down for bad and middle for so so. theres been many times i've read posts but dont put a reply on because my views have been echoed already so i just move on. a quick tick of a box etc would show support or negativity etc without having to write a post almost identical to however many others posts...

Cruznolfart Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'm ambivalent. I won't go so far as to say I don't care for the idea, but it's not something I'd ever use. I've never used it in any forum in which it was available. And, regardless of its potential popularity among the membership, the likelihood of its being approved by the Gibson suits is, IMHO, less than remote.

RichCI Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I doubt the Gibson suits would care one way or the other. It'll really boil down to whether it's a built in function of the message board software (YAF) that can easily be turned on or not; if not, then it becomes and issue of whether they want to devote development resources (money) towards adding the feature themselves.

Andre S Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Its a cool idea; it would replace the "+1"; kinda like the thank you button at MLP ( I think)....I don't think I would give it much use though, and as the others said, the chances of it happening are very remote... Even the Gear section of the forum, that Fred( I think) came up with, which was nearly fully supported, didn't come through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a matter of throwing a switch I doubt there's any interest one way or another. If they have to drop coin, it's likely not going to happen.

Shnate McDuanus Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I know I wouldn't use it. I'm confident enough in my abilities to articulate my thoughts about another's post. Even if it's a simple , , or +/-1, I usually have something else to say. I doubt that I'm the only one. I think that usually, when I see someone refer to another's post, they end up having had something to add. Just from what I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 You know what would be even greater? For the poster to be able to see who voted on his post and how they voted so he can go and kick their asses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
