BKF new feature - post voting thumbs up/down

[Pandora]

Interesting...


LAZ must've disabled the "Approve / Disapprove" "Thumbs up / Thumbs Down" option for my user name as I dont see it anywhere for any of my postings any longer. ?? Now the question becomes - Anyone else been disabled too? am I the "bad seed" of the bunch? or... is it because I requested it? Oh God..awful thought.. maybe I'm gonna get banned? *gasping for air*

Laz?? You around?

[ccsjoe]

Pandora,

I've never been able to see the thumbs up/down on my posts, only on other people's posts if that what you're talking about. I see it as an option for your post that I am replying to. I'll even click on you...lol


PS: See, I did click you...LOL

You're not allowed to vote on your own postings. Now that would be unfortunate and cause excessive abuse.

Laz must be updating something again cause now I only get the option to vote thumbs up....thumbs down is gone?

[Pandora]

Yeah - I get that... however even when not logged in..and reading... it shows nothing for me, and my posts arent being "logged" so to speak - *points to the 509*

Watch.. now it will change LOL *EDIT* See... made a liar out of me LMAO - it changed :/

*gasp* To be banished from BKF.. now THAT is a horrid thought! Better keep the box locked from now on

[ccsjoe]

LOL pandora...ooops, the thumbs up is now a word.....

LOL joe.... really? I've been able to see it on my own up until earlier this morning - or around noon time. Strange.

I don't think you can give your own posts thumbs up.... That would ruin the popularity contest....lol

Yes, I'm reading everything guys. Thanks for you inputs and opinion, as long as its constructive ...

I removed the thumbs down. The purpose of helpful answers is to find the most "helpful answers", so I don't see a point in negative ratings.

When new people come and join the community, they may click on http://www.bkforum.com/helpfulanswers.php and see a list of the highest rated posts. Clearly some posts contain a lot more insight and value than others; using this system everybody can quickly find and read some of the most insightful posts on BKForum.

Helpful Answers is not a popularity contest, it is a system to help people find and read what is deemed most valuable by the community.

Hey Laz,

Again, I am appreciative of your efforts. I just hope this works out as you envision and does not become diluted in a hotbed of personality disorders (how's this for diplomatic??). This is way too helpful and valuable for that. I only ask that you continue monitoring closely and be ready to pull the plug on some of the enhancements if need be. I understand this is not a free site, duh, and traffic drives $$, but please don't let the integrity of the spirit that makes this the valuable, supportive resource it is become compromised.

Thank you Laz Keep up the great work!

[tobee43]

yes, laz, i think this is a much better way of doing it. (especially for me... one who apparently, because of my LOUD posts..has a tendency to attract strolling trollers! ) LOL!!

so thumbs up to the thumbs down!
