{Vanity} Are the admins considering a comment rating system update?

We already have one. If your post isn’t liked you are called every name in the book and some names that haven’t appeared in any book yet.

I like your post.

Suuure...If you want to rate a post you have to donate. It's fine just the way it is.

Sounds like a quick route to groupthink.

Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Nope.

[OwenKellogg]

It would make sense if only the Classes of 97, 98, and 99 were able to “Like” something.

[MinuteGal]

No, thanks.

Life is complicated enough as it is.

There exists an informal ratings system already.

If you look out your window and see a no chrome black car with heavily tinted windows, that’s probably a sign your comment was maybe o.k. but don’t do it again.

If they spend a few minutes under the hood of your car it probably means they’re undecided. You’ll know real quick.

If your friends bring a gift for the kids to play on, say a clunker on cinder blocks, why...You move to Freeper Keeper.

Hope this helps.

While I don’t support a “like” function on FR, I would like to suggest some kind of Facebook presence, if only to notify when FR is suffering a hack attack or whatever...

I understand the hesitation, but what if they didn’t the number of replies on a certain thread wasn’t shown? Would there be people saying leave it alone, or scanning for high activity posts is the easy way out, or don’t let other people influence which stories you think are the most important?

I think there is some here that want to keep things the same for the sake of being a die-hard freerepublic loyalist. Don’t get me wrong. I love this place, I just get the feeling freerepublic is sensitive to criticism. (Case in point if I’m banned for just posting this comment.)

No. I like FR the way it is. It’s the best on the Net.

Or, to quote H. Rider Haggard in King Solomon's Mines:

Good responded nobly to the tax upon his inventive faculties. Never before had I the faintest conception of the breadth and depth and heights of a naval officer's objurgatory powers. For ten minutes he went on without stopping, and he scarcely ever repeated himself.

Cheers!

Just a guess, but adding this code to a custom programmed software system might be quite time consuming and expensive. If you send in an extra $15,000 or $20,000 to the current Freepathon you might be able to get it done.

[reaganaut]

I can see a lot of potential for abuse and considering how hot under the collar we get around here, which is a good thing, I think a ratings system is a bad idea.

[trisham]

LOL!

[libertarian27]

I do miss the ‘view count’ on the Posts.

(we don’t need a ‘like’ button)

You end up with posts posted just to get a thumbs up. It ends up being a one liner competition.
