I would love it. I think this was being discussed in TDF upgrade main thread and some were complaining that people will be hankering for likes and all. I think that a post with many likes instantly draws your attention and gets you curious as to what the member has posted.

I enjoy the like feature and live alerts on TE and would like the same on TDF.

+1 for simple TDF. We don't want TDF to be like other forums where people compete for getting likes and thanks, where the skin is to cartoonish that it remotely resembles a tech discussion forum. A 1 week pool for implementing like feature will be useful.

my thoughts exactly :)

XDA and all other forums having like feature are crap?
+1 for THANKS from my side.

There is no denying that XDA is a good forum,IMO the thanks feature has turned it to a begging site,where most people write off to receive thanks in every posts and sigs.

IMO, if implemented, it should be in appropriate sections where solutions to problems are sought to point out the best solution, and likes etc mustn't be indicated on profile to avoid making it a competition.

This was discussed earlier and was decided to implement. But, ICO (he was admin then) could not find a plugin. So, we don't have it. If there is any such plug-in that you have found then post it here, else this poll/thread is a waste.

Please go to the 'tdf bugs' thread,there was a debate about implementing likes feature,so I thought this poll will reflect the general conscience of members.Anyways its up to the mods to decide whether to implement it or not;meanwhile a small thread meant to know the opinions of fellow members is not going to hurt;)

Whats wrong in that :?:
They(kangs) are doing good job by making your EOL devices faster and customizable for FREE

Most of them(& me) asks for thanks because it helps to increase downloads of apps :p as XDA is slightly commercial( by donation and other things)
Why anyone will beg here for thanks?


Btw I dont think such plugin is not available for VB :/

Its a very helpful forum,but the whole scenario of ''being in a forum'' changes to a "marketplace'' for likes and thanks.I like to comment ''thank you'' rather than pressing a button..hehe

IVG Has a "likes" thing.it works well.
No one Begs for likes over there.I think it will be the same over here
Think of the "Like" system as a "rep" system

If Like/Rep is implemented, should not be available in all threads. Should only be available in tech related threads and some restraints a user should be a member for at least 90 days to 'Like' a post, just to control the abuse of the system. Until that time the user can 'Like' replies to the thread created by him/her, in case that user had created that account for that specific purpose.

if ever implemented the person who likes a post should have minimum of 1000 posts experience:lol:

@rijinpk1 and Shawnzer: Only a suggestion to keep spammers from registering new user ids just to spam on the 'Like' feature.
