    Possible add-on I could add to the forum:
    http://www.xfteam.info/threads/post-ratings-taking-likes-to-the-next-level-v1-0-2.1393/

    It would basically flesh out the 'like' system with a bunch of alternative tags (that can be whatever I decide to set up). I would most likely use something like: 'Informative, Useful, Funny, Agree, Disagree, Like' if I was going to set it up.

    The following screenshot gives a little example of one of the screens, but you can see them all if you create an account on that site I linked:

    Not a fan personally, it could be done well, but the likes are already kind of enough? I mean the entire reasoning for like systems in the first place is usually just to show that you agree with something to cut down on one word "quote" - This or "Haha oh man this shit for real bro" posts that provide nothing at all but to say "I agree with you!".

    If it is added, they should have really good titles, so that'll probably take a while, as well as much better graphics for it. :<

    It's zany but i'm not sure it's a zany I like. Maybe we could test it for a little and hold a poll after a week or something.

    Does this include a dislike button? I really want one of those!

    It could do but personally I think that sort of thing isn't a good idea for a forum.
    The most negative thing I'd allow is a 'disagree' button.

    Well, as long as I can show my distaste without having to explain it.

    This and the 5 / super crying button would be nice for levels of like/dislike.

    I think it would be a good idea, but just so long as it retains the quick Like'ing ability. If you don't want to bother with specifics, it should still be possible to give someone a quick overall 'Like' without having to select from some drop-down list or however this works.

    Also, I agree that a Dislike option would foster a lot of negativity between forumers.
    (at least, more negativity than is already fostered on a daily basis XD)
