The off topic thread 4.0

[SM]

I am actually convinced that the bot (“Someone” has been reading my posts about him (?) lately and has been liking and unliking my posts at a far higher rate than before I said anything.

That’s not even half of it. Maybe I am being used as some sort of weird science experiment by the mods.

As I've said previously, it happens to me too. It's just a glitch.

Damn, I totally missed your post up there. I do wonder if a mod can do something about it now that they’re aware of it.

Why don't you just tell Chief.

Do posters really care about likes?

 

[Loonerty]

Think it's an issue Chief is aware of. From memory it was a Tapatalk thing.

Its not a matter of caring about likes, it’s a matter of it being a bit of an annoying glitch.

For example, I am on tapatalk and that’s all I use for this site (the web browser doesn’t actually seem to have this issue, as Loonerty said, so I should probably just use that but it’s a comfort thing too) and when I go to my notifications I might get someone who has quoted a post of mine that I can click into to read the post but I first have to scroll down past the system that has glitched and given me a bunch of fake likes.

I suppose it’s a silly thing to talk about when I am still getting to all the relevant quotes. But yeah, it has nothing to do with caring about likes, because you know, I am older than 10 years old

People who care about likes are insecure losers. Like if you agree.

Why would a forum even have a like system? Bigfooty is the only forum I’ve been on to have it. Its always been a social media thing.

Its a method where someone can agree with something but not clog up the message board with posts such as “yep I agree”

That is a good point.

 

[SM]

That is a good point.

Didn't really need to reply mate, should have just liked his post. Now you've clogged up the thread.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

That is a good point.

I thought so too

Yep, i agree.

Don't agree.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Too much fishing for likes in here

Ya caught me

Yep I agree

 

[bok_party]

Not any different to reddit really

 

[WealstoneRaider]

I get a sense of validation when I receive a like. It gives me purpose, strength and the will to carry on. They sustain me

 

[glenferry23]

One like = one prayer.

 

[Cruyff14]

If this posts gets 10,000 likes I will legally change my name to Superman.

 

[moomba]

It’s funny really, most well constructed, thought out posts will get far less likes than a copy and pasted meme. If anything the like function dumbs down forums etc

 

[RPCB]

Didn't really need to reply mate, should have just liked his post. Now you've clogged up the thread.

I will take it under consideration for next time.

 

[RPCB]

I love good points. They are the best.

If someone else likes your post first, then I will.

That’s a clogging.
