Well then, I believe you have your answer.
The like button is the same as that post.No, I could see what you were trying to do a mile away when you asked about whether I thought the post was spam.
To clarify, the result of clicking a like/rate button is not the same as making a post. I do not believe you can easily compare them. Furthermore, because I was expecting this kind of reply, I made sure to include an extra point about useless posts clogging up the forum/post page. A like/rate button clearly does not do that (again, because it's not a post), but you didn't address this.
Bottom line is - Like buttons add nothing to the discussion.
I had no intent to mislead you in any way. I was merely pointing out the fact that if anyone posted that '*like*, *dislike*' as a comment, it would be viewed as spam. Both, like/dislike posts and like buttons leave no real merit for a forum's purpose - to discuss.
That said, they would never aid in a thread's longevity, for no bump is attributed to the thread, same as a poll vote (which I feel is wrong, votes should bump threads).
Again, it is a thread / discussion killer.
Had we a like / dislike button in place, you and I would not have had this little stroll down what ifs lane now would we?
