I posted earlier that I like the like button and I was in a hurry. The main reason is I think mostly it's good for people to get that feeling that someone likes what ever has been posted by the poster. Commonalities help bring people together. When I first joined bf, I was discouraged by the forum to comment in certain threads, like sale posts (understandably). I realize I could have commented in another way if I wanted to.(PM) Take for example the guy who is making some object (a knife) who has done alot of work to produce what he learned and labored over. Then he puts it up for sale. Then, a week goes by and another and eventually he reposts w/ reduced price. It's defeating personally to think "no one likes it" But now it's easy to simply hit like. People need to have things to boost confidence. One like out of 600 views is better than none.
Sometimes people may not have a good understanding of what is acceptable or not, and so they may post words that are inappropriate into a thread , thinking it's funny. When really it may be harmful. A simple "don't like" button could be useful to assist those "younger" persons who need to learn what is or is not nice to say.
Like buttons in the real world like in google or fb who are trying w/ much intention and a specific agenda are using those likes of ours in conjuction with all our combined online activity to produce algorithums that sell products and win presidential elections that shape society world wide.
Everybody likes to get a like , and somebody deserves a don't like.
I listed 4 possible responses in the poll. If you took the time to read this please select one.
I scheduled this poll to run 4 weeks.
Thank you Bladeforums for the "like button"

The ignore feature with this new software has improved immensely. It's made some people here, irrelevant, non entities, complete nobodies...pretty much what they were before the advent of the internet.
