Only site I've seen it on is facebook, and then they only have a like button and it's for lazy people. I don't think many people would want this place turning into a facebook like place. *Shivers at the thought*
I like the idea of a like button but a dislike button could potentially see a rise in cyber bullying. Example: you don't particularly like a person, so every post they make, you dislike, so not a particularly good idea. Or maybe I'm talking through a hole in my arse, I dunno.
But in general, I think we're better off without the 'like' button. I mean, if you have something to add to another post, then post behind them. But I don't see the point of keeping a tally of who or how many liked the fact that cowgirl is my favorite position, or whatever. If it's not a thought worth expressing in words, then why bother?

"The New York Times" has a "recommend" button with a thumbs up symbol in its comments sections attached to articles. I don't think we need it here. If you have an opiinon about a subject, it is not difficult to write a line or two.
But people don't usually read through an entire topic, to find how many users share an opinion.
Anyway, could be a bad idea. Just thought to throw it out and ask opinions in a poll.

I think the idea is great for pictures and forums and status but not for stories. I mean there's already the scoring option and the comments option.
Wasn't suggesting it for stories. Although i personally believe, that a like/dislike function for stories would be better than the voting system there is now. Three of the five vote options rarely get used anyway. But that was another topic ;)
Nope, i think it's borring and for lazy people. if you like something write a comment or you like to comment and just say it "i'm agree with you" something like that

I agree a like button would just make this Facebook.
What I would like to see is an added categorie for the new compittion stories. I try reading and scoring them all but I feel like I miss some along the way. If they were all listed in one place for the duration of the currant contest then finding them would be a snap.

I think they said before that a like button in the forum would be a bitch to implement cause the forum code is more fucked up than tommie chong... I would like one though. I don't see a problem with people liking posts. If there is a debate going on and one side gets a bunch of likes and the other doesn't then we can see what people think. What's wrong with that?
Also, if people that don't usually post or anything do happen to get brave enough to post and someone likes what they said they might post more.
Just a like button, not a dislike button. I can see people crying about favoritism or hurt feelings or whatever over a dislike button... But I have wanted to say hey, that was funny or smart but a whole post just to kiss ass isn't really adding to a thread so a like button would be cool.
