I think the coffee room would really benefit from a "Like" button, like the one on facebook. Would ease congestion on the moderators from all of the posters who just want to show support for someone else's post instead of writing it all out, which increases the number of posts per thread and making it harder to find the important ones.
BTW YWN Editor- nice one on that J.B. thread. I'm in the middle of Lonely Man of Faith...
y.p: Are you volunteering to do the programming work to implement this feature?
ok get to work on it. im all for it.
MOD 80- I would "like" all your posts keep them coming

I'm offering my business acumen free of charge! automation and specialization... gotta keep innovating to stay competitive these days!
yid.period~ excellent idea! I've thought of that many times.
*don't like*
Here's why:
Many of us here in the CR are familiar with each other's worldviews, so who agrees is more important than how many agree (I'm assuming that a *like* button merely tallies).
I generally won't post a simple "I agree" or "I disagree" unless I have something to add to the discussion. On most every issue discussed here, a poll is not very important to me; if I hold a certain opinion, telling me that 77% of the people in the CR who chose to vote disagree with me will not change my mind. A thoughtful comment might.

As an aside, is their any veracity to a *like* button, or can one person hit it multiple times and skew the numbers?
i agree
Mod 80,
You're an exception. Your proven track record of intelligent and thoughtful observations makes your opinion important to me, as well as to many others, I'm sure. (Sorry if I ruined your joke.) ☺
you can ruin all my jokes, like that
Like when I ruin your jokes, or like my (sincere) compliment?
compliment
Daas, you make a good point. How about only a "like" button without a "not-like" button? There are many times that I read a post that I agree to very much and enjoyed. I wouldn't want to bespeckle the thread with, "oh yeah"s. A "like" button would come in handy.
a "Like" button doesn't just tally up how many people agree, but it also shows the names (usernames) of who agrees. And you could only hit it once.
Like you said, it isn't the numbers but it is WHO agrees. The Like button is meant to accomplish the latter.
Mod 80- I'm a big fan too...

If so, I agree that there is some value to it.
okay then.
im sure glad we had this important discussion and came to a decision
ill get right on it ;-)
Mr. 80, is this site that customizable? Do you have a team of programmers waiting to make drastic changes?

not very.
Do you have a team of programmers waiting to make drastic changes?
the uhh..team..is taking a nap right now.
i didn't think the point is to see how many ppl agree its entertaining to see everyones diverse feedback that i "like" or "dislike" botton will take away...
well...how about it?
