Chess.com implementing the "like/dislike button"?

Wow, who would've expected that sort of thing from Elubas?

Heck, I think they're sort of funny. 

You have to look deeper into it Clifton. You'll know when you see it.

Nope.  Afraid that's not working.

Maybe a good idea for the Blogs and Articles ?

Hmm, my memory needs to be refreshed it seems.

                              Hmmmm . . . . 

I saw sometime ago, where there used to be a browser addon, this allowed you to annotate web pages, and only people with the addon would see these annotations.

Maybe we could have something like that. That way it doesn't affect anything on the actual web pages, and we can, for our benefit simply, click on a post or thread as spam, and on our own browser it won't be any longer visible. However, ther real pages won't be in anyway affected.

This can be extended, by simply having an option in the app-addon with say,'what others are saying'. Just to see, well, other peoples vote. So if someone votes up a troll post, it wouldn't matter, because we can simply look and mark it spam, and we no longer see it. Everything happens on the client side.

This can be extended to 'people we want to read', and 'people we don't want to read'.

So if we see someone all the time just posting spam, we can, on our side hide their posts. Again, they won't know, nor would anybody else.

Because the problem that has been pointed out is that a good post can be disliked, and a trash post can be liked. By not marking the actual pages, this behavior is prevented.

We know what we like, we just mark it, like. And we just might do something like share statistics with friend. So people whose opinion we value, we can see what they are reading, and they can see ours.

But the basic idea is that it won't give the trolls any further attention.

I kept clicking "nope" on Denver's post. Not sure if it registered.

You should put the thread under Site Help and Suggestions.

And also, instead of tallying up likes and dislikes, it should follow the formula g=x-y

g = how good a thread supposedly is based on people's opinions

x = number of likes

y = number of dislikes

Interesting point.  And lets not leave out the Meh button.

Anything like this is better than what is currently here.

And then we doubtless get to see a whole bunch of lame threads getting lauded to the skies.  Yeah, good plan.

Gross. Imagine the Parham trolls (from days of yore) pumping up their threads' ratings as really positive, while bashing everyone else's threads.  

that will keep you busy.

This could be an excellent idea just for tactics trainer, for the comments on the tactics.

-1 for anyone who posts how easy the tactic is, and how awesome he is for posting his 100% score in big red letters. They can continue to boast if they feel good about it, and we can vote them down and hopefully make them hidden.

This could make it easier to have good discussions relevant to the tactic. Everytime I get a notification for new comments on a tactic I'm following, there is a 50% It's just a new score poster.

Yes, ChessTempo has this exact feature & it's very useful.

oh gawd fb all over again.

"the roy lopez is good opening, lyke if u agree"

"boby fisher is die, 1 like=1 respekt"

Actually the biggest problem with Facebook is that it's utter and hopeless crap, which does not respect much of anything.
