| I have noticed that there are no like button for post or threads. If someone makes a post or thread there should be a like button to indicate that his/hers post was liked. Why don't we have one in here? Most forums have something like this |

| So what will happen?! You want to prove that no one reads my posts :( |
| Have you ever been on any other forums? It helps us to monitor if our post/threads are being effective or not. I have post a ton of responses and i have no idea if anyone read or even likes my comments. |

Well, the forums I were or I am, for all of them people which are friends with each other like each other comments no matter how good/bad they are and superior users (mods and well-known users) always have more likes and this discourages me from continuing to discuss... Also like button system will encourage elitism somehow |
| Then there will be no valuable discussion, someones just gonna say the popular opinion and they're going to get the likes and it'll just turn into a dick measuring contest. Social media is already bad enough, and so is MAL, so let's not mix the two. |
  Don't worry about being lame now, you were always lame anyway!  |

Social media is already bad enough, and so is MAL, so let's not mix the two. I don't think so. It is a measuring rod just to know if what we are saying is reaching anyone. You are definitely wrong there for sure. I don't think you have been on any other forums because 99% of them have it. It is located where the quote button is and anyone can just either quote you or like what you are saying, simple as that there |

Also like button system will encourage elitism somehow I don't think so. it never promotes elitism or superiority. That there is just wrong thinking altogether. I like to see if i connected with someone from what my comment said. It encourages me to continue to respond to other peoples threads or post |

Hatred said: TanyaTheEvill said: You must not have any experience in other forums then, because most of them have it yeah i know they do which is why i don't want the mal forums to have it. Well i do and i think it is an excellent idea for these forums. Hopefully an admin will take notice and see the need for it. This idea that it cause elitism or superiority is not normal thinking |

Yes there is a need for it in these forums. I never seen so much hostility over a subject before in any forums and trust me i am in a lot and not just anime related. |

Also if your posts are worth to read I'm assure people eventually will read them. Like I always read Pullman and romagia's posts on Anime Discussion... |

Thank you, i can understand that it is a great idea to discuss subjects and make friends that way. You make a very valid point |

| You talk so much about "other forums", why dont you just stay there ? They seems much better than MAL. |

We don't need people like you who is so disrespectful. No where did i say they were better. But what i am saying that this idea will make mal better |

| if so posts will get 'compared' by the amount of likes they receive and many people might be discouraged to post anything if their posts receive few to no likes |

The idea would be the the person would get a notification that Bob likes your comment. However if the amount of likes is shown it only means that what the person said is connecting and it helps others to think along those terms on how to connect or say things that are positive. |

| AniList has this and I find it really useful. I use it when I agree with someone's opinion but don't have anything to add myself (on MAL you'd have to quote the person and get past the 30char limit forcing yourself to write something, which is stupid), or when I want to just thank someone without writing it. You know, the second one isn't actually a problem on AniList, because there's no character limit and you can just write 'thanks'. It'd actually be more useful on MAL than it is on AniList. |

I am for this too- if it's only the like button. That in particular works out well on other forums I use. |
papsoshea said: No it doesn't encourage laziness, I don't want to write some forced text when I just want to show my appreciation instead of actively taking part in discussion, I sometimes want to avoid nitpicking from other people who might quote me further and thus force me to participate, and it also feels weird to me to suddenly move a public conversation to private just to say 'thanks'. If there needs to be a character limit, at least make it five chars.fuyuki said: AniList has this and I find it really useful.

You know, the second one isn't actually a problem on AniList, because there's no character limit and you can just write 'thanks.' If there was no character limit, it would encourage laziness and less discussion as you explained above — short answers, "thanks" or your typical "yes" and "no" comments that flood threads in other forums. If you agree with someone's opinion, let them know why. If you want to thank them, let them know on their wall. Forums would first get messy with short answer threads followed by low activity. ahneeme said: I know there's a lot of new users here but MAL used to be riddled with circlejerk threads like this one- https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=612175&show=0 consisting of quote towers and gif reactions, "^ye" "muh nigga" "jelly?" "problem?" This is an old thread, the forum has new rules nowadays (x vs y threads aren't allowed now). Mods generally get rid of those shitpost threads nowadays. and while you can surpass with character limit by posting random shit You get banned if it looks too obvious, though. I was banned once for a week. |

| Don't really see how it adds anything meaningful beyond adding an easier means to have your ego stroked. |
TanyaTheEvill said: Why don't you just leave mal for good. We don't need people like you And who the fuck are you to telling me that MAL dont need users like me ? Are you MAL staff ? It does not make MAL better it make MAL the same circlejerk trash can as r/anime is. @Ardanaz i think its time to lock this thread, this was suggested billion times. |
