Remember when the like button first came out and i said i hated it?

[Total Head]

i was only kidding!! i want it back! i feel naked and unloved without it. i made fun of it as hard as anyone but i grew to rely on it. besides making people feel fuzzy inside it was also a good way to pick out bits of advice on a thread that lots of people agreed with. i think it promoted good vibes.

R.I.P like button. you will be missed.

Damn, how do i like that shit?

Remember way back when we all said we hated it? Most still do. I despise it for curtailing of rep, but I don't really care. Hate entails caring, but only slightly. Only slightly.

This is fucking stupid. Why was the Like feature removed?

Don't you (mods/admins) realize how popular that feature was? It connects people on a social level that isn't possible without it for christ sake. Do you know how cool it is when I log in and see a handful of new likes? It makes me feel like a VALUED PART OF THE COMMUNITY.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT AWAY FROM EVERY USER?


Further, it gives people an opportunity to AFFIRM someone else's statement without TAKING UP VALUABLE SCREEN REAL ESTATE. Now you're going to make users post "Durr, I like what you said" and take up a whole nother fucking 6 inches of my screen every time they want to affirm something? THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

 

[AltarNation]

I was irritated when I learned you can't edit posts past a certain age, because there is a security risk there, especially with the servers on U.S. soil and the fucking U.S. Constitution ERODING BEFORE OUR VERY EYES.

Now you're fucking with the fundamental basis of what makes this an attractive website. Do you not realize how important social elements are to the average user these days???

This is fucking ridiculous. I'm taking my business elsewhere. Nice job, ROLLITUP.

DAMN.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is fucking government managed, the way you guys shit on your users.

There, I've said my piece. Ban me if you want. I don't care. Your site is degrading before my very eyes, and there are plenty of other grow forums i can go to. It's just FUCKING SAD, because I REALLY thought you guys had something going on here, something different... a strong sense of community, and maybe even a sense of connection between the "higher ups" and the "average guy." Whoops, I was wrong.

Mods have no power brotha. They just have supreme editing abilities, in their specified section.

"LIKE" lol

The like button is still there buddy.... you've just gotta press this little button right here on a post you like....

 

[jpill]

i tried to like like half of these comments and i couldn't .... taking away the like button ....Really? who does that ?

 

[Tenner]

Whats the reason the like button got removed? I loved that thing. Rep and you can`t rep the same person again. Like buttons attract peoples interest to topics when they get notifications. I remember which topics I went on by seeing likes on the notificaitons.

This sucks really really bad, whos idea was this? I thought it was a browser error... Is this permanent?

Why wasn`t there a vote for this??

 

[mysunnyboy]

why are people really so pissed off about the like button? too many likes=system bogged down (i am ASSUMing) cool with me to get rid of them. this is a free service right? and it's a virtual world right? there are other places people can go to have coffee and gab like a bunch of old ladies right? then take your keys and go you can always come back.
and is it just me who doesn't understand what business it is that's someone is gonna take elsewhere? no one ever asked me for money here and i have yet to purchase anything related to RIU. you guys have helped me grow marijuana, which is why i am here in the first place. i have an IRL. maybe some do not.
i say thanks to RIU for weeding out the herd

 

[PetFlora]

To me, the beauty of the LIKE button was I didn't have to REPLY to say thanks. Now that bogs the system down. I vote to have it back
