Guest Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I notice our site is now keeping track of "likes" per day....Even seems to have some sort of contest, where informs who "won" the most likes per day, on a given day. So, two questions: First, are we supposed to be posting for the purpose of getting likes? And the more important, Second, what other information is this site now collecting (and possibly sharing)?

Guest Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Oh, PS to the mods, why didn't you reset the likes and such? Happened last time the site got updated for a new appearance, so I kinda figured it would happen again. Doesn't really matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you supposed to be posting valuable content for others to enjoy? Yes. Are you supposed to be posting crud in order to get people to like your posts? Probably not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell, "likes" mostly reflect who posts the most pictures. Not that other content isn't "liked," but "likes" on posts with photos far outweigh legitimate posts regarding valuable information. Not complaining, I often "like" them too, but I haven't found the "like" option to reflect quality of posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 FWIW, I 'like' the new look. Good job, admins! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet, I post a ton of rumor stuff and that is probably how I get most of my likes. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splinx Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Yeah i have but its not the same. A small box with the last 5 new posts was one of the most looked at things for me to keep up to date with the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm coming for you... If you haven't noticed, I'm not exactly very competitive. I'd be happy to not be one of main posters for this site if it was because the others were just posting more often. Though, for post padding, it just counts the posts and the likes, not the length of the post or reason for the likes. Should be pretty easy to generate lots of likes or posts, in a quick manner, if this is some sort of competition and you really want that.

Jay Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 It's just trivial fun that came with the board upgrade. There is no deeper intent Pax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
