Mike Friedman Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 A change to the reputation system (the 'likes' on forum posts) was made in order to keep in better line with the focus and vision of the forum. I could not find a way to continue to allow 'likes' in a specific subforum that just did not count towards a members overall likes count without removing them completely. I personally do not put a lot of stock in things like post counts, likes, and thanks on forums, but I know that some people do, especially when they are new to a forum. For that reason, the 'likes' option has been removed from the The Bar. If I find a better solution that can be implemented easily, we will do that. It is likely a permanent change. This change does not reflect any ill feelings towards that area of the forum or people that participate there. It is simply to better put the reputation system in line with what the majority of visitors are looking for here.

100DegreesC Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Makes sense. I PM'd Mike about this a month ago, so if anyone is ticked about the change, you can blame me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just one of those things that kept getting pushed off and then forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people come here and see the likes, they assume that the person knows what they're talking about. If the OT was anything like the WF OT the first few years I first got on that one, I might disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wunderkind Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I think we would all like to still see a Thanks button of some kind in The Bar, but just not have it count towards a user's totals, but if that is not an option, I am totally behind this idea.
