No, this isn't that important. You're right. It's just a forum feature. That's why I asked about it in the "Everything Else" thread.@305pelusa : not exactly - just a quick note that there more important things than "likes" competition. I have learned some of the best stuff here on the forum from users who even would not get in top 100.
Gotta Like what you like, @LukeV - I'm using that button in my phone.I must admit I see a lot of posts that I like but I rarely click "like" (fat fingers on a small button on my iPad screen)
It's good thinking but there's an issue. Having a ratio means that every time you post, you also have to get a similar (or more) amount of likes based on the ratio. If your posts don't get as many likes, you could actually fall down to a lower tier. Now I personally have no problem with that and most forums have both a like and dislike button. But I don't know if that's something @Steve Freides would want. It doesn't create competition between users, but it does create a strange dynamic.If you're going to use likes instead of posts then there should be a ratio. Number of likes compared to posts should be considered. Some people have a high number of likes because they have an insane number of posts, they are also esteemed or respected on the forum as they are habitual posters, which is fine, but doesn't necessarily mean they know what they're talking about..... just saying
It's three. Just liked a post of yours that had likes already, and your Like count went up.@305pelusa, I think the numbers in my particular case may be skewed by the fact that I participated regularly in the old forum, and there are no Likes from that time.
Does anyone know if you post 10 times, and one post gets three likes, if that counts as one or as three? I'm guessing it counts as three.
-S-
OHHHH whoah that's very interesting. I hadn't even considered that. Any way you can eliminate the posts count gained from posts from the older forum? If you can, then perhaps the ratios might not be as skewed as they seem and it might be worthwhile. It still runs into the issue of dropping a tier but I guess that would only happen if you start posting worse content haha.@305pelusa, I think the numbers in my particular case may be skewed by the fact that I participated regularly in the old forum, and there are no Likes from that time.
. Not really, just realised another glitch basing it on likes. I've got a lot of likes per posts, but I don't often give sage advice. Scored some likes for posting something people thought was funny & scored more as support for telling how I have over come addiction.And you yourself have almost 15 likes for every 10 posts (!). Achieving that ratio does require that your posts have excellent quality
