Just clicking a button is convenient but also pretty lazy and detracts from actually communicating with each other, in my opinion. I suspect some people might be tempted to fish for "likes" or "punish" members for not sharing their opinion by purposely "disliking" posts.
I'm not pleased to see that this forum is going to be like Facebook. The only positive thing about this thread is that it made me listen to David Bowie again.

I have to say I agree with Sarge on this one. I believe this system has been requested in good faith, BUT will cause more harm than good.
There is nothing wrong with it, per se, but I think it could get political!
The quote above is from Evil Nickname. Read it. Now, tell me what there is not to like about that sentence as it stands. I can't see anything, yet it received a negative vote.
And Caryl, you are definitely someone who doesn't need these buttons!!
I won't be pressing the buttons. This is not to say that I don't like what I read, but I care not to show favouritism. I'm staying neutral on this!
Ps Thank god it hasn't made me listen to Bowie.
