Enabled "likes" versus "votes"

[Captain Ewok 1,891]

Any prefrence? In this method you can click the like button and folks that have "liked" a topic will have their names listed. The other way has a gren button that only shows how many total votes a post has.

Green button with a number. Some people will get in their Facebook mode and like everything. (Ohhhh! I like how you got approved and I like everybody that said congratulations. )

I also vote for green button with number total.

I also prefer the "up vote", because to me it signifies more that you agree with something than a "like".

I agree with this.

I think you will find anonymous votes will give a different result than likes where it isn't hidden. Not that one is better than the other, just different.

I prefer the up vote as well. 'Like' denotes an emotional response to a discussion, whereas 'agree' would convey a more rational approach.

Bring back the -1!

Bring back the -1!

+1 to the -1!

[Bayareaguy 156]

I think a -1 would be very good...perhaps make it very limited (like only 1, or so a day maximum) to limit abuse.

Oh, and I see you can see who voted now, so I take back what I said earlier about likes vs votes...in this case, It doesnt matter.

I would spend way too much time trying to figure out which post would get my -1 for the day. Might teach me some discipline though

I prefer the like method. It's good to see who is liking what.

hey captain,

idk if its possible or not. you might want to exclude the +1 or ups or whatever they're called now from the P&R and OT forums. i have a better 'reputation' than most of the mods.
