The 'likes' are fun and are used for how ever the clicker defines them,
which varies greatly I think.
The 'ovations' were cool because you could also leave a comment,
and the limitation made some folks think before using them.

But both are aimed at 'winning' something.... accruing points/status/whatever.
Not that that's a bad thing,
but negates them as a metric for sorting or true evaluation of content value.

Excellent way of putting it. One way isn't necessarily better, just different. I think most of the old seasoned members still selectively hit the Like button.

Hey @Nifty-Chicken .....can we you or staff 'feature' this thread to spread the word?
Might get more people thinking about forum etiquette.

@WVduckchick maybe take some of the etiquette links posted in this thread and paste them into the first post?

I wouldn't know, I turned off alerts after every single thing I posted was "liked" (by some) for no apparent reason and I was called a moron and that got "liked". I think some fell prey to clickaholism.

So I went and read the last couple pages of the turkey fell off truck thread, and right above the "hope you turkey gets better posts" (or whatever they said) are nothing but the RIP turkey posts.

Posting tip: Read at least all of the first two pages, and all of the last two pages before posting.

Guilty.

I started out being selective, but i'm not anymore, and I'm not sure why.

Wonders how many people reply from their email instead of actually coming to the forum and catching up on the thread, where there may be dozens of posts after the one they were notified of via email? Have seen this happen on other forums/groups, not sure if it works like that here tho.
