'Likes' are s**t and are of no value unless ego is at a low.
Called it years ago and nothing's changed.
Stopped 'liking' anyone months ago and we'd all be better (the board would be better) for doing the same.

what a maverick......

 

[BlueView]

The discussion has turned to who’s liking who’s posts. The younger brigade must be cringing. Yuck.
Football please.

 

[HARKER]

I like posts that are either to the point, and or well crafted, whether I agree with them or not

You say that and you may want to believe that, but it's not really the case now, is it?

Look back on things and you'll see this to be true.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

I have no desire to lose anyone, as everyone has a right to be here and put their ideas forward without fear or favour.
'Likes' can sometime get in the way of this for reasons that don't need explaining here.

Having said that though, everyone also has to accept being put under the spotlight for what they've put forward.
No need to cower to anyone, or to afford extra credits to someone because of one reason or another.....and FFS...there are no leaders. What are we? Sheep?

Try to treat eaach post on it's merits and I'll give a like if it's an interesting idea expressed well. I don't like disrespect and the utter speed at which people are happy to bare teeth here. Dumb.

same - 2 well put together posts that present a case from opposite povs will often get a 'like' from me - although I must admit I mostly like posters who are struggling with their self-esteem..........seriously......

I don't need to look back, i never do

 

[thylacine60]

stay in the present - best place to rewrite history.........

 

[Accidental genius]

I give likes to thy just so he can maintain his top position on BF most reactions received.

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

I just like posts that I like....

 

[SammaGilberto]

Sadly, the s**t-talking season is almost over campaigners....next week we bounce the ball for FFS.

...pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to work

 

[ESKIE]

Nothing like a really good like IMO

 

[Bluella]

More often than not, I use the like button to acknowledge a post. We should have an acknowledge button. My use of the like button would drop significantly.

Head nod...

Likes are cleaner way of agreeing with somebody’s post. Much better than having good posts repeatedly quoted with a “This” or “+1”. I think the like function is actually pretty useful, nothing to do with ego.

This was the exact reason it was introduced, so posters didn't have to scroll through heaps of posts saying 'LOL' or 'I agree'.

 

[norway blue]

Liking a post means you agree and you don’t need to add . Imo .

Or you can like AND add as I just did.

If that is the case why is it necessary to have a cumulative total of likes below the posts tally in each poster's profile? It appeals to the narcisist in us all

I’m an occasional liker and like to like posts a fair few times. I’ve only added a few times and that was probs by accident. Love this board but it does get snarky. We all love Carlton .

Sometimes its also a way of saying thank you. For the link, pics, training report, point of view thats interesting, joke, missing a player (djholmes like)

And sometimes it's just narcissistic class clowns posting, desperately seeking to fill an emptiness in their life with the adulation of strangers...

Ummmmm......I mean......so I've heard....
