Mystery liker
Comments
-
I am with Furball above. I log on and have a look at CT occasionally and if I am reading a thread and see something that I agree withe or like what someone is saying I will like and perhaps comment - too scared to do much more when you see some threads
I
was unaware that if I liked a particular comment that it meant a star for me - was unaware of the meaning of stars. I might be the mystery liked
without
knowing that. Apologies if I am. Elaine0 -
Dont fret about it Elaine Its a foible of this blooming system not something we on here can choose to do or not do !
You carry on using the C T as you wish to, just like the rest of us
As for the "Stars" they are a meaningless irrelevance and of no real value except to the folks who want to leave the Universe & see stars of their own !!

Don't worry Elaine unfortunately like much of CT it's much ado about nothing

I do think we should be able to see who has 'liked) a post by clicking the words '8 people liked this' (or however many) - a bit like you can do on Facebook. It would make it a bit more obvious to identify a serial 'liker' and might deter a serial liker,
if he/she knew they would be very easily spotted.I do think it is nice to get likes - everyone likes to be appreciated - but perhaps they ought not to count towards 'stars'.

I don't have problem with the recipient. If they get a 'like' they have earned it. The "liker" has done nothing.

The only way you can like a post is by opening up a discussion and reading what has been written there. Some comments are quite long and can take a long time to read. Other comments are shorter. However, the overall discussion is often quite lengthy, so that anyone who likes would have to spend a lot of time going through the various posts before they could click the like button. If you like a post you just get one point. I think those who have taken the trouble to read and understand what has been written and have clicked the like button as an acknowledgement of that, surely deserve to receive the one point that they have earned. The like also serves as a reminder of where you got to in reading a discussion, so that you don't re-read what you have already read.

Not really Malc.To a serial 'liker', its just a case of opening the pages and click, click, click, click, no intention of reading the content or having an interest in the topic.0 -
Likes" can be abused by Cliques to support fellow clique members. We have seen "likes" being awarded to a post with no text just a smiley. So it would appear that it is the name which is being liked not the post.
Best to discontinue Likes as it is obviously being abused.

I have noticed that a fair proportion of my posts receive mutiple likes and even a significant number of my relatively bland posts have received a single 'like'. I can't decide if I have a secret clique or whether it is the quality of the posts.
The single ones suggest that, rather spookily, I am being stalked by a serial 'liker'. 0 -

Either that or your posts are particularly amusing or interesting CY lol
I notice I don't get too many likes on my posts so they
must be boring haha0 -
Wonder how many stars have been earned on this subject which has been flogged to death
Write your comments here...Yes it's certainly a subject that has been raised and discussed before and then dropped and then raised again. I also can't see how anything new is being said about this that hasn't already been said before.

Nearly fell off my chair at that one Malcolm as the Sunday Departures Thread, for one, has said everything that can be said many times over.

Does a comment, no matter how short, earn more points than a "like"?
If so, maybe it's "more productive" to put a comment like "+1" etc, if points matter to you.
...Just checked Goldie (by clicking on the line of stars under an avatar for info)...a like is one point a reply including +1 is five points.
