Rename "Thanks"

Archive: 19 posts


I haven't been here this long, but I noticed the "Thanks" button is also used if people post something funny or they agree with someone's opinion. What abot changing the "Thanks" to "Like" or "Thumbs Up" so it fits better?
Sorry if this was already suggested and declined, a quick search returned nothing.

It has actually been discussed before, only once IIRC, and that was a while ago.
However, I believe the general response to it last time (which I agree with) was that people saw it as saying "Thanks for the laugh"
"Thanks" was also seen as more personal than just "Like" or a thumbs up.

Thanking for a post is totally different from liking a post. But I have to admit that I'd prefer "like".2011-03-27 15:01:00

It boils down to the same thing whether it says Thanks or Like or whatever anyway. 2011-03-27 15:14:00

Likes and thumbs up are for Youtube. If we had a like system, there may just be a dislike option along too. This in turn will have people disliking each other on the fly. The system fine to me. Thanks just seems nicer in my opinion.2011-03-27 16:14:00

Oh please, I think we all get enough "Likes" From Facebook. And in a way, it gives this Place a bit of a personality.

Of course, that's something that's in control by the people who made/make V-Bulletin, right?

Nah, admins can change the name and what it says underneath a thanked post. On LittleBigLand.com we call it Kudos.

Didn't we used to have a system where people could have their rep go into the red, due to something along the lines of a "thumbs down" system?2011-03-28 00:33:00

Aye, I actually made a thread like this a while back.
Seems if they didn't do it back then, so I doubt they'll do it now, tho.

How about Mazel Tov and Oy Vey?

I think Thanks is all right. Kudos is fine too and basically it means the same:

1) Thank you for making my point come better out with your post.
2) Thank you for contributing with a reflected opinion to this discussion that is getting out of hand.
3) Thank you for helping me.
4) Thank you for making me aware of a create aspect I wasn't aware of.
5) Thank you for making me lol.

And sometimes...

6) Thank you for being a total troll.

You got them all but you forgot the most common one...

7) Thank you for being mean, un-friendly and making others look like idiots

anyway
You know...now that I think about it, in LBP2 we got the "YAY" "BOO" thing...Wouldnt that pretty cool if it was incorporated here on lbpc? idk just thinking out loud, just saying.

Anyway Thanks does sound nicer than Like etc...well like I said in number 7 it depends exactly how you use it.

Kudos is more generic and sounds cooler. :3

That is all.
