Change the Like Button please.

[Krashport]

I would Like to suggest, Changing the "Like" button to an "Agree" Button on these forums.

I Would like to suggest, adding a "Disagree" Button to these Forums.

As to having an Agree or Disagree button just seems more fitting after all...

Generally, liking/agreeing doesn't necessitate a long comment/explanation, that's why the like button is there. If you don't like something, you're going to post why, so a dislike button is not needed.

No, I will not 100% of the time. Sometimes I will look for someone elses post that appeals to me then "LIke" them, That person can more or less not agree with the main OP so meaning it would be an Unlike.

A dislike button opens the door to bashing and slandering people without breaking forum rules (because you can just dislike all their posts instead of verbally hating on them) and is an extremely bad idea.

A negative, closed minded person can come into a thread, That doesn't "Like" Said person or topic and comment negatively with their 10 accounts and their buddies. Wonder why "Some" people worry about bashing and slandering its going to happen any which way you look at it. There are people out there that just don't like each other. Poeple also do things for kicks, Just have to look past that and grow up. There is really no reason for Square Enix to show the Like button, That we have now it just looks good.

Examples

Final fantasy XI is an outdated game. I Would like to suggest, A monthly discount seeing that we haven't gotten nor seen any new Content just remapping.

Like "5"

OMG!!! lul, That is a very bad idea! "If you're having money problems you shouldn't be paying for an MMORPG!

Like "59" <- Jake doesn't like Mary so they got all their buddies together to camp their thread. This Like is really an Unlike. So basically this is unliking someone in a liking way!

I don't know why some do not want a "Disagree" Button maybe their to afraid of not being agreed with and don't like confrontation.

edit: Will be editing this more when I'm sober.. maybe!

Where's the disagree button so I can disagree with the above post?

Oh, the irony.

I say we change the "Like" button to "Buy this Guy a Beer", and have a system where it bills you and mails a beer to the person.

(I just bought you a beer)

As did I (and bought you one as well).

I Would like to suggest, a "Disagree" Button to be adding on these Forums.

So people can just keep disagreeing with any post someone they dislike posts even if it's a good point, that adds nothing other than the Dev's ignoring it thinking people don't want it.

The reverse is true too. People keep "liking" posts by people they like and they form cliques. Even if the person has nothing of value to say, their post will get a "like" by someone who just likes that person, thus devs think it's a worthwhile post and it wastes time.

This is, of course, assuming the devs base any type of decision on such a small portion of the player bases "likes" to begin with.

Liking a post is less damaging and less likely to happen "just because someone likes you" then the opposite. You wont enter a topic that doesn't interest you too often because you like a poster. People will if they dislike them.

True, but why even have a "like" button? Why not have a report button that basically does the same thing, specifically for rating up posts containing opinions of things the "reporter" would also like to see added to the game? Stops the childish rate-ups for stupid off-topic things that the devs shouldn't have to waste time looking at like, "I like my coffee black and without sugar."

You know as well as I do, that certain people on this forum could post that one sentence, completely off-topic from anything else in the thread, and there would be someone who hits the like button, just because they think it's funny. I guess my point is that the current system seems fairly useless unless there is also a dislike button, unless the devs are using this to see popular opinions. If that's the only reason, they could easily hide the number of "likes", make it a "report to devs" button so people know it isn't for BS but actually to get the attentions of devs, and devs could have a more accurate portrayal of game-changes people like, verses crap that gets likes for being funny/ganging up/whatever.
