Suggestion: Starring Posts?

[asianeko]

Hey! I'm not sure if this is something you can implement or not, but I really wish we had it! It's a system to show support to a post. For example, Becky posts about how nervous she is about going on a trip. Sasha mentions in reply that she thinks going on the trip is a wonderful idea. In addition to posting on the thread as well, you could "star" Sasha's post, showing that you agree with what she says.

I'm terrible at explaining this, but a good way to see it is to visit another site I frequent, abovetopsecret.com. Here is a link to a thread using the star system.

If you log in, you will find blue stars at the top of some posts.

I think it could help in supporting others

Kind of like "liking" a post or comment on Facebook?

[asianeko]

Yeah, I guess it's along those same lines.

I like this idea as well, as I've FREQUENTLY read a post on a thread and thought, "Man, I wish I could 'like' what they said like I can on Facebook!"

There's a "rate thread" button at the top of the thread, but it isn't the same.....we should contact the admin!

Agreed!
