Thanking someone for a like?

[chilerelleno]

I didn't know this is a popularity contest.
Which clique is the cool one?

Well...I'm SOOOO POPULAR around here, (as I Flip my long flowing Hair Back) that I Simply could not address ALL the likes I get every minute of every day, and Stay SOOOO POPULAR! I mean, C'mon (scoffs) you " Less " than Popular people, just don't know what tremendous Effort goes in to being, SOOOO POPULAR!......JJ

Thanks for All the likes I ever got...

Lmao!
And just for your tremendous effort you put forth being so popular... you even get a participation award!

I don't necessarily think we should do away with the facebook-esque Likes and associated emoticons.

I would like to see the Point system come back in some shape or form.
It meant a lot when somebody gave you a Point.
And getting more than a handful of points on a thread was almost as good as a ride on the Carousel.

Well said. I've been saying that ever since the new Forum format came out. But since that accomplished absolutely NOTHING, I just gave up on it.

What is the proper etiquette for thanking someone when they give you a like? A private message, responding in the

I'll have you know, 30 years ago, I had a full head of Dark Brown Hair. NOW, not full, just Salt and Pepper with a lot of White. My kids tell me my hair is White enough and I'm FAT enough to play Santa at the Old Folks Home...Dang wise azz kids!...JJ

What's weird to me, when I look in the mirror, I see some white, but 75% my original color from younger days.
When the Mrs. looks at me she swears it's all as white as a sheet. Someone's a little color blind. Hope it's not me. LOL.

In agree with the points system...

What irritates me is when my notifications gets filled with new posts.. Go and look at these new post and all's it is a "Thanks for the Like" ... It use to be people would do that just to get their post count up so that they could say.. "Ha HAAA.. I have more post than you do" ...

 

[chef jimmyj]

It's still like that for Some!
I admit, I find myself hitting Like for every post I find effects me in some way. Interesting, Appealing, Funny or Sad...JJ

I think the like button is easier to hit & I find myself hitting it all the time too. Those old point system was a lot different, I don’t know why, but we never gave points unless the thread or comment was something special. So in my opinion the like system is just a distraction. It really doesn’t mean as much as the old point system. I guess that is why I don’t usually thank anybody for a like, unless it’s a comment on a thread I started. Actually I appreciate all the likes I have gotten for answers to questions, way more than the one’s that I have gotten for a thread I created.

Thanks for the like

A member once asked, " What can I get with my Points? " My favorite answer was, " 1000 points and $7 will get you a Coffee at Starbucks! "...JJ

After reading this thread I feel like I should give a like to every post...but I wont.

 

[Bearcarver]

I only Thank people for the Likes they give me on a Thread I started., and I add it to the bottom of my Thank You for their comment itself.

I never make a separate post just to thank someone for a "Like", unless it was on a thread I started.

I give "likes" to stuff I think is important to the forum members...

This post was shamefully written just to generate more likes for the poster.

If I post a thread and someone responds to it in some fashion. Then I'll try my best to let them know that I read it and appreciate it.

If someone likes a comment I made on someone else's thread. Then chances are I won't respond to it because they enjoyed, agreed with, found something I wrote helpful.

I like threads if I find them entertaining, well presented, helpful, or different. I'll also like a newbies thread to help give them some confidence in posting.

It was a very good question that was asked! Hard to know what to do when you're new. I've been a member for awhile but was a lurker for a long time. So I remember the point system as a lurker but not sure I understood it at the time, now I do, even tho it's not used anymore. I can understand why it was liked in the old format, not sure if it can be added back to this format or not...I kinda like the idea but it's up to the people in charge, they do alot to make this forum what it is, which I'm very grateful to them for what they do. I will say I don't have Facebook, never have, never will. SMF is my facebook. As far as likes go...if I post a thread and someone likes but doesn't write a comment I try to say thank you to all those people. Guess just kinda watched what other members did when I was a newbie. Now in posts others have started and someone makes a comment that I like or agree with I'll give em a like. If a newbie posts something I will usually give them a like, unless they are doing something in an unsafe manner (as in curing or food safety). We were all newbies once and need a little confidence.

That's my 15 cents worth anyways!

As far as hair color goes... I grew up a bleach blond farm boy! As I got older hair color got a little darker. Still a full head of hair but my wife commented a few years ago I was getting white hairs (damn kids lol). I said nope, they are just really blond! But then again I have a bit of a belly so now my story is... I'm a well rounded, distinguished individual (with my whitish hairs)
