Applies to:Website
Status: Open
Issue hasn't been assigned a status value.
Feature Suggestion: Like/Dislike buttons

Information: Just like the Yea/Nay buttons, but it's for the Feature page.

The Like/Dislike buttons would be like the ones on Facebook. Where if you click Like it shows your name in small print at the bottom of the suggestion saying you like this feature/support this feature. Vise-versa with Disliking.

This feature would be handy for people who like(or dislike) suggestions and would like to support their opinion without spamming up the comments page with comments such as "great idea!" or "this idea sucks".

They would be shown such like:
Likes: Magicbeast20, Bob, and Jimmy.
Dislikes: Loser1, Timmy, and Sandy.

If the size of the Likes/Dislikes got too large there could be a more button after about 7-8 names. Which would then show the rest of the list.

Example:
Likes: Magicbeast20, Bob, Jim, Sandy, Timmy...(more)

Likes: Magicbeast20, Bob, Jim, Sandy, Timmy, Bob1, Lolperson, and Bot.

For an additional feature likers/dislikers who are BYOND Members their name would be able to be clicked on, which would then link the clicker to their byond page.

I think this'd be great, solely because of the spam reason, and sorting through all of the 'yeah, I support this' comments to find useful information or additions could get rather annoying.

I love this idea, however, I think you should not make non-members names clickable to, if they want to look them up, they will do so regardless, just make the site usable.

HOWEVER, you didn't seem to say anything about a counter, it might be good to know how many people like/dislike WITHOUT having to count each and every name in the list.

You don't have to show names either, and I think you maybe shouldn't even, people wanting to stay annonymous should be able to voice their opinion on things too, while staying annonymous.

At the least, if it does show name, maybe a setting to hide your name, although im not sure how much use it would see, as I wouldn't use it.
