Is it possible to add a +1 button?

to avoid high-score mentality.

Thanks, that’s the term I was looking for.

I agree that quotes are a space problem. Quotes should probably link back to the original post after a certain number of “nests”

We do have a nesting limit in place, it’s currently at 5. Last time I checked it was working.

Hmmmm…. add a “- 1” button also.

Hi there, definitely not a –1 button, this isn’t Reddit and I don’t want it to turn into a contest where people try to make the wittiest (i.e. most inflammatory and insulting) comments in search of an upvote, or where unpopular opinions get downvoted even if they’re perfectly in line with the rules. Reddit seems to bring out the worst in many many users, and I’m convinced that there’s something in their up/down voting system that triggers that herd mentality.

Total agreement with that

Damn, I was caught in the act of exaggeration
OK, but I think that it’s still too much.

@CollectEverything

I think if this feature was added you would see far more upvotes/awards than you see thank-you comments now. I have a feeling that a lot of people want to express thanks but avoid posting to threads they are not initially involved in out of courtesy.

The positive feedback could help members who contribute a lot of useful information to feel appreciated. This should encourage more high-quality posts. Careful implementation of this feature would be key. For example, you could hide the exact count of “likes” or awards to avoid high-score mentality.

Edit: Started writing this before you updated your post. I agree that quotes are a space problem. Quotes should probably link back to the original post after a certain number of “nests”

Yes that’s possible.

Maybe a comment rating system could be one-sided, like youtube. They show only upvotes.

OK, I can reduce it. Maybe to 3?

Yep, that’s what I’m thinking too. The technical implementation might be very challenging though, that’s why I haven’t definitively committed to implementing it yet.

How about a "x1" button?

That way you don't add one or subtract one--you can only multiply by one.

We do have an x0 button though, it’s labelled Report. :innocent:

Is it possible to adjust the amount of padding given to quotes? Even those tiny quotes you nested take up tons of space relative to how much text is actually present.

Sorry for replying to the wrong post. Didn’t want to quote that gigantic nest haha

I don’t really want to become more like Reddit.

Please don’t turn this forum into yet another social media platform

You don’t need to please everyone for your opinion to be valid. It’s a flashlight forum where political discussions are not allowed.

I think you should read more of the thread before commenting.
