Need for a LIKE function

That is an option, this one is setup as a multiple choice poll though. You can only vote once, but you can select more than one option.

That doesn't make any sense at all. Is this the millennial thinking....."every body is a winner" just by participating?

Back when I went to school, even with multiple choices, we could only select one answer. :confused3:

Depends on how the poll is constructed. I think Aaron or whoever just threw that up as an example. Don't bust him up as I believe he was just showing the capability. Multiple choice option can be worthwhile. Think, "check all that apply" to you.

Exactly. They can be multiple choice, or only allow selecting one option. They can also let people vote once, or to vote multiple times. You can also choose to make the results of who voted for what public, or not.
The polls can also be time limited, or not.

Good to know! :thumbsup:

Reminds me of people who have nothing better to do than join clubs and vote on whether or not they should vote. Pathetic.

Maybe that old phrase, get a life, applies.

I really dislike the way "like" buttons are used on other forums I visit. I completely ignore the function as well as other people's use of it, as it does nothing to add value for me. Some people like everything, some people like stuff that is wrong/misleading, some people like rude/banworthy posts adding to problems, etc.

I much prefer when people comment or use words to give feedback or a response. It adds so much more. It doesn't need to be something I agree with, but when people use words it's part of a discussion either way. If you like something, say so with words, and add your opinion/feedback about why.

Apparently, i'd not be as terrified about adding a new feature to TBN as some members are. :cool2:

While I previously commented about the dislike for the like after initially liking the like... I hear you. One can always ignore. :dance1:

Strange - I never thought of TBN as being a popularity contest for anybody. However - there are those who only participate in any social activity just for the instant gratification.

Is this the direction we want TBN to go - - I certainly hope not.

I look for honest opinion and fact - - what does popularity have to do with this??
