Eh, it's not commonly known about, anyways.

Are you talking about when the rep system was changed so only positive rep existed?

I think he means a system where the like/dislike is not based on the user, but is very specific to each post.

Like imagine my post has a number on it on the upper right(not ME, the post itself) that shows how many upvotes or downvotes the post has.

Usually with a system like this, the post is highlighted or brighter when upvoted, or faded down when downvoted enough.

Actually, yeah. That is exactly what I meant. I don't know if I made that clear.

That was what Ethy was referring to.

Well we do have a "like" system. It was even turned on briefly sometime last year, but it is rather pointless since it doesn't really serve much purpose. We want to encourage people to post.

We'll look into it, though.

I'd say it sorta does serve a purpose, letting viewers know who else agrees with a certain post without having to essentially copy-and paste said post. Less clutter, less redundancy and encourages people to post either different viewpoints/opinions or add on to it without the chunk of text. But that's my personal opinion.

Problem is certain users might target users and dislike a post for no proper reason, harassing the user.

Ah, I don't remember a system like that at all being on the forums. Must have been there when I was gone.

The system would be anonymous, though. The only thing visible is a score on the post itself. The worst a person could feel is his or her post having a negative score, not sure if that goes into the realm of harassment.

If I remember correctly, it was accidentally turned on for 5 minutes and a user spammed the Like option.

Depends if the system allowed it to be anonymous.

It's a feature already built into vB. We just don't use it.

The system doesn't have a dislike feature. It's just liking. And what purpose would liking serve? It's a pointless feature.

Or, just not allow negative votes. Allow only positive votes. Anyone with anything negative to say just doesn't say anything.

We're a fairly tiny community so things like this are often easily abused by circles of friends. It also contributes nothing to the forums since it would promote just clicking a button instead of actually taking the time to type out a response and that would lead to very little back and forth between users.

It's something we'll look into for the future but for right now it wouldn't work.

Can we have more sloths please I feel as if I am underrepresented and is there any way that the BACK TO TOP button can have an option to be on the left or right of the screen?

The Inferno RPG? The forums were updated but the game itself never was by the person who made it, so it wasn't compatible anymore :c

Ummm... i got some ideas... maybe.... well you could set that link to the main site somewhere more easier to find. Like here.

O and i saw there were problems with bots... well some website's have that security thing by what bots can't come in (or that's what they say), i don't know what it's called but i will try to describe it: if you go to a site sometimes they say that you should type in what stands above. It is if you want to download something or just by entering a site. You can't copy and paste it coz it's a pic. With some random words/letters. Like srow (no idea if it is a word) and that's stands then in a strange way on the pic. So it's kinda harder to read. And then you need it write it down. If it's all ok you can enter the site or download the stuff you wanted to download. They say it is against bots...

O and can make from this site a phone version??? I often try to login with my phone here but then i end up not being logged in... or maybe it's just my phone...

Ok that were my suggestions...

i think we use to have that but it didn't work. We are looking at alternatives, some that have worked tremendously.

We have a mobile skin which you can select from the drop drown menu at the bottom of the forums.
