"Like" Button On Forums and Comments

How about adding a "Like" button to forums, and comments. People can like a comment, or forum post/topic, and then sort all posts on a topic, comments in a post, or all of the topics in scratch, to find the most "Liked" topic (That's not closed).

Sorry if this has already been submitted.

Re: "Like" Button On Forums and Comments

I like that idea! There shouldn't be a dislike though.
Would the comment go to the top of all the other ones?

Well, you could sort through the comments by how many likes it has, and maybe the top two or three liked would be at the top. Sort of like on youtube.

Great idea! And maybe comments with a too low rating could be counted as spam and will not show up, like on YouTube?

I'm not sure about that, because what if a user says something positive, but the it gets removed because trolls dislike it?

Re: "Like" Button On Forums and Comments

I was thinking this! If you made a funny comment someone could like it instead of going, "haha i like this"

I don't think that would work because I'm sure many topics/posts wont get a like, even though they may be really good. They should probably just be further down the screen. Here's how I think it should be set up:


Username: elfin8er                                                                 Likes: 4  (link to like)

Topic Body



Username: elfin8er                                                                 Likes: 3 (link to like)

Topic Body



There are more posts, but they have been hidden due to not having any likes. Click HERE to show them. To disable/enable this feature, click HERE.






Or:







Top Posts (In some kind of bold text)

Username: elfin8er                                                                 Likes: 4  (link to like)

Topic Body



Username: elfin8er                                                                 Likes: 3 (link to like)

Topic Body



Less Liked Posts



Then at the top, there could be something like


[ sort posts by v ]

Most Liked
Date Created
Username

I'm not sure about that, because what if a user says something positive, but the it gets removed because trolls dislike it?

But I mean if, say, ten people disliked it then it would be removed. I agree, people would start targeting other users and disliking all their comments if it only took one dislike for it to be removed.

Re: "Like" Button On Forums and Comments

Maybe not removed, but rather hidden. What if a troll makes multiple accounts to try and get a post deleted. It's not likely, but could happen.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Like, on YouTube, it comes up with "Flagged as spam" or something, and there's an option to show it. I didn't mean it would be permanently deleted, because I agree, that would be a silly idea.

I was saying that you can choose how to sort them (author, likes, dislikes, date written ect)

Re: "Like" Button On Forums and Comments

Hey guys,

If you want this to be added then go here: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=85150it is a topic about a new php forum, because scratch use a forum made by somebody else they can't add this themselves, however some scratchers who specialise in coming up with (and creating) new things for scratch have targeted the forum so  if you want this added add a comment to the topic: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=85150

Like on the MCforums?

Maybe topics with a high number of likes should travel down the page slower.
