Thanks button

[Adre]

How about a "moan" button for when Fata sends me titty pics?

Hey, Fata, how's about showing me some love?

A while ago, I thought a 'like' button would be cool.
But then I realised this place works because of the more detailed responses...... people actually have to say something because of the 5-character rule.... and that makes it far more interactive.

Well, I imagine you must be quite disappointed with how elections are run then? Perhaps we shouldn't have a democracy, since popular != superior?

Look, it's not like it's some kind of popularity contest. It's just there as a bit of fun, and an enhanced way for people to agree or not. That's it. I've seen it work and work well on other forums.

But there seems to be such resistance here - not an altogether surprising thing for the Lit Forums - that never mind.

you know this place is called Literotica for a reason, right? yes, it's fast to hit a button, but then what? as many here are writers, it's not a strange thing to find us expressing ourselves using words, surely? smilies thrown in for good measure. the simple groan/thank thing you espouse seems lazy but, more than that, boring. we enjoy playing with words!

Hey Manu and Laural.

Another forum I frequent uses VBulletin as well, and has this nifty feature where a Thanks and Groan button is added to each post.

If you click on it, a line is added to the post where it says "XXX says Thanks for a useful post" or "XXX says No Thanks for your post".

The thanks and groans are displayed in the profile cell for people who make posts, on the left hand of a post. So you can see that Jezzaz has 100 thanks, has thanked 300 posts, has 4 groans and has groaned 5 posts.

The details are here.

Any chance we might get this implemented here? It looks pretty easy...?

No, it would be an unpopularity contest. I already know the people here with the most spare time don't like me or my posts, so I don't see the point in giving them another way of making that clear.

That's a great observation.

I just checked, and Facebook is still there, so, no.

Did you invent the thanks and groan buttons, Jezzaz? You seem awfully invested.
