this would be cool if it didnt come with a negative counterpart would cut down on "same" posts and best of all, in threads like "screenshots" and "videos" and etc in the ssf2 section it would at a glance tell you how good the content is according the community which i think is SWEET i definitely agree with having both buttons being a bad thing because it could be used as a venue to bully users/troll someone you dont like, but "like" or "plus" only would be cool. plz |

I don't really see the benefits you posted as being that significant and I worry about the idea of people making safe, pandering, garbage posts just for the likes a la Reddit |

Exactly. However, having a downvote button to push those posts back down balances it out if people actually use it on them. (Unlike on Reddit) All in all though it's a s*** system that's made even s*** if you only let people vote posts up. |

Can't assume we would use it any better than the average Redditor would |

It's an idea that's good for the SSF2 section like you said, but pointless at best and f*** stupid at worst for the rest of the forums If it was only in the SSF2 section then sure, otherwise lmao f*** no |

i think it'd be good for the ssf2 section but i don't think it'd work as well in other sections of the forums, yeah |

unlike reddit, we could elect for a system without a cumulative tally for your account. no upvote whoring, you'll get a post with a +4 ranking or something that will be irrelevant and forgotten shortly. just like most spam section threads. |

If implemented I will go on a quest to "like" every post on the forum |

Fun idea, but the problem with this is that phpBB's infrastucture isn't optimized for an upvotes system. Since support for phpBB customizations has been dwindling recently I doubt we can implement this in any stable way. Locking
