Zimmy Zeta Battle Force Industries Tactical Invader Syndicate 843	Posted - 2012.02.17 18:12:00 - [31] - Quote By the way..does anybody know who the hero was that gave Lyris Nairn his 10.000th like? -.-
Tippia Sunshine and Lollipops 4933	Posted - 2012.02.17 18:19:00 - [32] - Quote Likes are like SP: the total is completely meaningless, but people try to assign meaning to it anyway (either by thinking of it as epeen or as some measure of GÇ£unfairnessGÇ¥). What matters is where they're placed and why. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥ If not, contact Miss DSA to shed your wardecs.

Though I do see it as a way of quitely making friends/contacts my purpose in that wouldn't be a bigger like count on A.n.other Intraweebs Forum but a genuine interest in people. YOU MUST THINK FIRST....

They charged one and let the other one off.
Grey Stormshadow draketrain Confederation of xXPIZZAXx 927	Posted - 2012.02.17 18:20:00 - [35] - Quote I'm sure you all are aware that it is possible to use automated script to increase likes count. Those scripts are available from this same forum and CPP employees are making jokes in same thread, so it can't be very bannable action either :) The total count is more or less a joke, but as someone said earlier - it may give rough idea how active/old poster someone has been. I would prefer to see post count and character age for this purpose though. Get

WeeellGÇª would that really happen without a dislike count? I just think that if people are that concerned about their stats compared to the point they're supposed to make (but aren't, out of fear of stats loss), then the point in question was probably not worth making to begin with, so that kind of discouragement sounds rather encouraging.

Petrus Blackshell Rifterlings 506	Posted - 2012.02.17 19:03:00 - [58] - Quote Hmm... like-post ratio (LPR) is unfair. Those who were derping around the forums since the beginning of time (see: Liang) have a definite disadvantage, as none of their old posts can be "liked" and eve-search is too good about seamless integration.

Valei Khurelem 330	Posted - 2012.02.17 19:08:00 - [59] - Quote Likes and Dislikes are essentially a form of anonymous peer pressure, with no one to argue with or show themselves people who frankly aren't very socially adept are going to ferret around for posts that get them more likes than others and so on. I think my general opinion on the likes/dislikes is it really does kill the conversation. "don't get us wrong, we don't want to screw new players, on the contrary. The core problem here is that tech 1 frigates and cruisers should be appealing enough to be viable platforms in both PvE and PvP." -á - CCP Ytterbium

Sorry? I couldn't hear you over the sound of my 1,89 That counting method just favors younger posters. Tippia has been an "enthusiastic poster" for years before the like-system was even in place, while you younglings barely talk at all and are only a year or two old. For example at your current posting speed you'd have to post for more than 40 years to even catch up to Tippia's current post count. If you want the system to actually mean something, it should only count posts made after the like system was implemented.
