What I don't 'like.'

[PigFish]

Seems to me, more and more that along with others I hit my like limit too often. Is there a reason that we cannot open the bandwidth on the 'like button.' a bit?

Thanks for considering! -Piggy

LOL. I use mine up every day!

I've actually had to go back to un-like something to like something else I liked more!

Mr. Piggy,

The problem is your heart is too BIG!   Your willingness to share your experience and knowledge and support of the FOH brothers and sisters is an inspiration.

Thank you for your participation in our shared hobby and our lives.

Best wishes,

Curtiss

there is another first world problem. can't give enough 'likes'.

i can honestly say that, to my knowledge, i have never given a single 'like' to anything in my life (but occasionally see emails where i have allegedly liked something - lies, i say). i see absolutely no point.

i did get roundly abused by a stranger once who had apparently "liked" something i had done. i have no idea if you could even do that. so he contacted me to tell me that i now had to 'like' something of his. and then told me what i could 'like'. could anything ever be more insincere than that? even if i had wanted to, i had not the slightest idea of how to do it.

from the tone of his final correspondence, he no longer liked me.

As I recall, I did not 'like' the like function when first installed on the forum. I have now forgotten the reason! I think ultimately, I conjured that it would be a means that people would actually post less, as no real interaction was required, just a push of a button, which does not 'inspire' forum talk.

I am happy to admit that I was wrong and like the function.

Try it Ken... you might like it. It is liberating. Lord knows, if we had a dislike button, you would have used it up by now!!!

You like Bruce enough said

It's always good to be liked more than not 

[Ken Gargett]

in posting this, i swear i am not trying to start any fights, but this is actually a thing? grown men and women are discussing whether they should be allowed to press a button saying they like something more often than they are permitted to do so currently?

i'm sure there are people to whom this seems all perfectly sane. i am not one of them. it is truly and completely beyond my comprehension.

this must be a stupid question, otherwise people far smarter than i would have asked it, but why is there a limit? do humans have a limited amount of "like"? i may well think it monumentally absurd to "like" something, as though we are all five-year-olds in the playground (and what i think of those who bother is best left unsaid), but i would "like" to think i would defend the right of people to do so (even if it is really really dumb).

why is there a limit? i am in favour of people being allowed to "like" as often as they want. should we have separate toilets for them? (okay, that might have been a smidge provocative but i'm surely allowed a tiny dig?).

You could have told him that you liked the way that at his age he still behaved like a spoiled little boy.

Did you like that ha ha did ya. Come on please like my reply.

The problem seems to be that the quality of content is way too high. We have two choices -

1. Write more crap posts

2. Lift the Like limit

I can only control the latter, I'll leave the former in less capable hands. I'll bump the limit to 30, 40 or 50 if that'll tickle more pickles. Let me know your preference.

Jason I never had you pegged as a pickle tickler.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[Warren]

Woo Hoo thanks for liking my post Baldy, you made my day.

Can you now do it another 20 or so times???

I'm very needy.

[Baldy]

LOL @Warren.  You'd be surprise how many people crave "likes".  Not so much on this forum but on other cigar forum, likes is a high school popularity contest.

Me, I'm old.  Don't have time for it.

[Dimmers]

i vote handing over full moderator+admin control to Ken #draintheswamp

Yes and then the winner could be banned for a whole month because they would probably become bloody annoying.

[Warren]

Right, I'm out a here. I've already been liked 3 times and it's getting embarrassing.

[Baldy]

Alternate fact:  I got 1.5 million likes today Woohoo!

think we can also implement Dislikes, but that ends up with hurt feelings and childish tantrums.

Mainly from Ken 

 

[OZCUBAN]

Maybe we should leave well enough alone lesson here be selective with your likes and or dislikes

[oliverdst]

For those who reached the 'like' limit, just quote and reply LIKE.
