    We've limited who can Like posts after we discovered Members bragging about having more Likes than other members to prove they were more credible only to find that the reason they had more Likes is because a new account created using a Proxy had given that member and only that member 21 Likes to put them over the top.

    This made us realize that our Likes system is open to such abuse, so we have limited who can give Likes:

    https://www.gamblingforums.com/threads/likes.21820/page-4#post-119369

    What do members believe is the best criteria (or combination of criteria) for member's to earn the ability to Like other posts?

    If it's too lenient, then it will be open to abuse. If it is too strict, then innocent members will be negatively impacted.

    Let us debate different solutions with the community to come up with the best one.

    Blimey do people really treat “likes” like medals? I dunno, maybe you need to have posted X amount of times to be able to like others posts.

    Haha, I "Like" your post.

    Get rid of them, this isn't kindergarten, Social Media clout is so over-rated.

    A lot of likes are given due to political affiliations, that's kinda obvious PMSL at the juvenile thought that went into it.

    A few accounts "Opps and Beech" don't post anything other than "liking" posts.

    Time-restriction .. 10-15 sec.
    That should take care of (most of) the issues.

    I feel that I should have the ability to like my owns posts. After all, they're usually fabulous because, well, I am me!

    Gizmo, Luckyfella, and Spike should not be allowed to use the feature, because their posts aren't as good. :)

    I searched for the DON'T LIKE feature and can't find it. If there was a skull and crossbones future I would use it on your post.

    My edit, this is a lol post and no malice intended ( shoot how political correct was that , vomiting big time, lol)
    I too appreciate watching a dog lick it’s own balls but that doesn’t compel me to have an “own lick” function on my posts to compensate for my inability to lick my own balls, let alone the dog I’m watching. Cheers

    About 270 more posts. Try and be more original than say judge. Try posting just your next post number example, this is my 29 post , it’s witty, insightful and very informative I hope you all appreciate the wisdom of my post.

    Then get a catchy catch phrase to sign off with like as examples
    Hey hey
    Hidi ho
    Hidi hi
    Cheers

    lol, not being nasty natural 9 , just humour. If you read the administration’s rule page you will get all the information you need, you will also understand when the private message facility kicks in. By doing that, reading the rules, you will have demonstrated your 90% more intelligent than say all the poster this forum that ask the same dumb question like spike etc.

    Here’s my catchy catch phrase
    Cheers

    IDK, I'm 50/50 with the LIKE option. If we have it or dont have it.....with every s**t thing going on in the world, its not too important.

    Hi Folks, thank you for your feedback so far.

    This discussion is not about whether we should remove the Like option or not.

    It's about what criteria we should use to enable that feature for each account.

    Right now the criteria is: 30 days / 30 posts / 30 likes

    In other words, a member must have been a member for at least 30 days AND made at least 30 posts AND received at least 30 likes themselves before they are able to Like other posts.

    Please let us know your suggestions on how this can be improved to ensure any abuse of the system is minimized.

    As a relatively new member, the inability to like posts has put me off posting and generally using the site at all. If I post something and I get a reply, I have to post something like “if I had a like button I’d like that” or “(like)”. That is intensely irritating so I generally don’t post unless there is something I really want to say (like now), rather than just joining in the conversation.
    I imagine you will have reasons for making it this restrictive but it comes across as if it is a private member’s club and does nothing to encourage new blood into the forums.

    So my "LIKE" option removed, now there is some un-announced criteria, "LIKE" option restored.

    Now my site access without warning is curtailed. me starts to think its a Russian owned site, seeing there is a Russian sub-forum. If this board wanted to go multi-lingual maybe a French sub-forum as it the 2nd most spoken language on the planet.



    Stand with the people of Ukraine.

    Good grief, not even close. The most common spoken languages on the planet are English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, and French comes in fifth. French is spoken by just a fraction of the people who speak the real second-place winner, Chinese. Where did you get the idea that French was the second most spoken language. Google is your friend.

    It was thought in Europe school curriculum for the most part of the previous century as a second language.. slowly transitioning to English more & more till it fell out to the 2nd place & then replaced by German.
