with the new addition of the up/down voting thing I would like to propose that the OB collectively ignore this option. This is not a board based on popularity or clicks.

If you like a thread then visit it and participate in the discussion. If you dont like a thread/poster stay out of their threads and don't reply. The current system of threads falling in order based on number of replies seems to work very well.

So does the liking feature effect where a thread is on the page?

This is something new I suppose?

I post from my phone most of the time and haven't seen anything about it.

I agree. This ain't about popularity. It's about how to be a man whether you like it or not. :Judge to the face of up/down voting:

i am assuming that soon, the like feature will only apply to the replies within a thread and push the highest "upvoted" reply to the top, such as how youtube does it. hopefully that is as far as it goes

I tried to vote this up AND down, but apparently you can't do that. I'll vote your next reply down, just to make up for it.

Yeah, just noticed it while reading the rant. The like button is now replaced with up/down voting.

I'm sure these will mostly be ignored in the coming months, much like the thumbs up feature was quickly forgotten.

I disagree with this new feature. It can corrupt our posting by making it so that we feel more self conscious about whats being posted. Liberal mindset has taken over. It's not fair to just call someone a German dickbag DIAF anymore. Voting this way will be bad for business.

There is no integrity on tigerdroppings. I started coming to this site about a year ago and it has gone downhill since I've been on. People don't take anything serious on here, hence the downvotes to the OP. There are a bunch of kids on here that don't have a life and don't have anything better to do than sit around on the interwebs all day and make smartass comments. They refer to one another like they're all best friends, but half of them have never even met! From time to time you get a decent thread with decent advice, but inevitably the kids are going to hijack the thread and try to start shite and troll. That's all tigerdroppings will ever be.

ETA: Let the downvotes begin...but secretly alot of you agree with this post.
