Alternatives to 'Like'

[simon.r]

Many moons ago I frequented a motorbike forum that allowed people to 'smite' a post. After a certain number of smites the poster was banned from posting for a short period of time. Which led to all sorts of interesting comings and goings!

And London weighting?

Not really. It's probably too small for me to bother invoicing.

I think Ron should be be the final post on most threads.

A smiley that says "is the bike ok?" would be ace

I like like. Anything else I feel is a bit overcomplicated. Certainly if you've anything negative to say then I think it's respectful to write it out properly and constructively. And I think it's not too much of a stretch of the imagination to understand a like as a synonym for many things: agreement, acknowledgement, sympathy, whatever.

The only thing I don't like as a (relative) newcomer, is the cliques. I may disagree with 99% of what some posters say, however if they make a comment I like, I like it. I get the feeling some wouldn't like the announcement of the second coming if it was reported by the wrong person.

Am I the only person in the UK who doesn't recognise 'Ron'?

 

[slowmotion]

You know the emoticon things that have recently appeared on Facebook? The ones where you can choose something other than just 'Like', such as 'Laugh', 'Love', 'Grr angry', etc etc? Can we have those to click on for people's posts, rather than the current two alternatives of clicking 'Like' or adding a whole post containing a smileyface thing and nothing else? (Which is as annoying as the detested '+1'.)

This sort of thing?

Parks and recreation. Probably the best tv show.
