Max2 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Add the Like/Dislike, also add the ignore button. Shake things up around here, we can always come back to this same path. I promise, the sky will not fall around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang guy Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 "Dislike" is bound to stir the pot worse than you've already seen it stirred. Agree wholeheartedly with this.... ... Those that think a persons post count reflects their knowledge or "value" are WRONG there are definitely people here with high post counts that spout BS consistently . If you post you should be able to defend your post or at least state that its an educated guess or only your opinion ! If you don't have the backbone to back up your remarks... ...and just as importantly, the integrity and courage to admit when you are wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted July 26, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) On the upgrade/downgrade button. We have a limited form of that now, the "best answer" button. Is that just for the OP to use? I don't think I have ever used that feature. I would try it out first first with just "upgrade" as the only option. I like idea of a poster asking for sincere help to be able to indicate what he thought was most helpful (best answer). I also like the idea of members being able to "reward" a useful and helpful answer by upgrading it. I would think that good answers would rise to the top and people can be lead by example. The person with the most "best answers" AND the person with the most upgrades should each win a free prize. A toaster would be nice. As to the like button in Hope, I used up my daily allotment of "likes" in Carl's Corner within 30 minutes of it opening. On the, hopefully, temporary loss of Ibiza. The loss of anyone under 30 on this forum should be alarming to anyone who wants the Klipsch brand to be strong and thrive. They are all potential lifetime consumers of Klipsch, and they are all going to have kids that will need earbuds and headphones. They pay money to take dates to the movies, creating more demand for new theaters and thus more demand for Pro Cinema products, which are made in Hope by the way. I would bet the CEA has good data on what the 20 to 25 and 25 to 35 demos will spend on audio gear and I am guessing it is probably 10x as much as the 65+ demo. That "kid" and all of his friends should be welcomed back on bended knee. As a matter of fact, Chad should create a private, members only forum called Under 30. They can all go there and ask anything they want without worrying about it. They can also make fun of all of us; about how out of touch we are; are locked into a set and inflexible view; and that those who are inflexible become less relevant with each passing day.

ZEUS121996 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I've been texting with IBIZA for a while today. He has plenty to do and no desire to chime in on anything. Maybe he will show up again some time like MM did, it's nice seeing him posting a little bit Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a number of times he will pick up on something that most of the older guys here just stare blankly at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Matthews Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Regarding the feature "Dislike," as I stated, it is too vague and will cause fights. A more apropos button would be a "Too Rude" button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbert Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Many boards have an "Ignore User" feature. Maybe the upgraded forum software will have that feature. It does. Does the Ignore User option include a Button that will have a Send Birdie Now Function??? Excellent idea, "R" rated emogi's..... Perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a best answer and would have all my daily quota of upgrade buttons if that feature was available.That response caused me to spew soda all over my keyboard as I could picture those blank stares. I will find the SNL sketch that came to mind as soon as I find it. Edited July 27, 2016 by dwilawyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Chad Posted July 28, 2016 Administrators Share Posted July 28, 2016 This thread served it's purpose, I think. I split off all the resulting talk about Texas schools and vodka into its own thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
