https://xenforo.com/community/resources/post-ratings-taking-likes-to-the-next-level.410/ I think it is just a cool feature that is on most forums
Yes! I have suggested this before, and I was told we could think about this farther down the road. This literally is a must have, and you just cannot stop using it. Though, I do suggest disabling the negative ratings, and doing the following combination: Like Agree Funny Winner Informative Friendly Optimistic Creative I wonder if its far enough down the road? I bet if we start getting some donations we can invest more into the forums.
At the beginning i thought it wasn't such a great idea cause people can respond negatively and that might make others upset or offended. Now that you mentioned that you can disable the negative ratings, it seems like a much better idea. It certainly is an interesting feature, I'm just not sure if it's needed.
I agree! Great feature, but in my personal opinion, I don't believe negative ratings should be removed. They don't mandatorily mean something bad, for example: 10 x agree / 7 x disagree These are just opinion, I understand people might feel bad if their post has 10+ disagree, but I believe they need to understand people likes and dislikes things, not everybody will agree with you, not everybody will share the same opinion as you, and that's normal, it isn't Just an opinion though, I also understand that this can be abused, ex: Aaaaand would require more effort from the staff to moderate, it has it downsides, but yeah in any way it is implemented, I feel like it's a nice idea!
This is just my opinion, but I like to talk and reply to other people, so for example if I post something and someone gives their opinion, I would like to talk more to them and fully involve them in the thread, rather than them just reading it and posting a thumbs up or a like. I don't disagree with this btw, I just prefer talking to people.
Don't quote me on this, but from what I understand @Tomas has setup the budget to a specific threshold. Since at this time we are not running off of donations. @Tomas runs everything out of his own pocket. As a result, this is considered a "luxury" item that is most likely not budgeted for. Just remember I don't know for sure, but this is my understanding.
Your right, it's not needed, but it is very nice. People love this add on, and you just can't stop using it. Yeah, I feel like this isn't something we should put our money in at this time. Though, if someone donated and put specifically for the money to go this, maybe we could get it?
Thread Locked. We are very happy to announce that we have plans in the very near future to buy this addon. I hope you all are excited and that you are sure to thank @Tomas for buying it for us. Cheers, The Minecraft Frontiers Team
