Namepros made a change today that has been a long time coming. For some it’s trivial, others they wish to see it disappear and for others it’s about time.
When someone comments on Namepros, members could like, dislike or thank. Much debate took place for years on whether disagree is more palatable than dislike.
Members were taking dislike personally, some send other members private messages, “Why did you dislike my post?”
Paul Buonopane The CTO at Namepros made the change today adding agree and disagree. You can thank someone for a post, such as bringing up a controversial topic but also disagree with the premise. Thereby adding layers to the conversation.
Now some forums and blogs did away with like/dislike, some making the point that if you want to support something, make a comment supporting it. If you don’t support something, make a well constructed argument against it.
Others are quick to point out most people are too lazy for that.
One forum I read had a member state,
Focusing on the toxic “like/dislike” mindset only causes circle jerking and encourages people to just shit post funny things for likes instead of adding constructively.
Another forum said people just abused it and only posted for likes, many times off topic posting.
They’ll all be moved to a single icon soon, but there will likely be even more options under that single icon (7 options).
You don’t have to use them all, but they’re available if you want to express yourself in a way that you couldn’t otherwise.
More coming soon.
If you are going to have the ability for this social interaction, I think the 7 option idea is best.
Does a Disagree take a Like away?
No you can do both.
Thanks Raymond
I use to dislike everything i didn’t agree with. I was one of the first to do it quite a bit. Forum is full of lies (which are allowed to persist, unless they are lies against epik ofc.) Anyways yea, LOTS SHUNNED me for it, like wow…what snowflakes!
PLENTY to disagree with. I would of been speaking out against CV domains from the start too. Sure i’d been reported by many crybabies for that too.
Epik coddles the impressionable crybabies though. You can’t even call a pro an IDIOT in pm for spreading blatant lies. That’s right, a pro retorts ACTUAL fact with his own LIES – You PM him that he’s an IDIOT, and YOU ARE THE ONE THAT GETS BANNED. Right? You just have to bend over and ‘accept the pro authority and BS falsehoods!’ – ECHO CHAMBER!!
There’s nothing you can do, epik moderates to only what suits their agenda. Their pros are the ones telling the lies…what a stain!
Have fun on your liar / propaganda forum everyone! Don’t get disliked 🙂 They don’t like opposing views there.
When i dislike to say disagree they cried. No other way to convey “disagree”!
Finally. Long overdue.
