I for one am not against someone posting how he or she feels in response to what someone else posted — even if it is a only a ^, a
, or a +1.
In my opinion,
feedback is a gift. If someone is willing to take the time and effort to post something — whether it is in agreement or in opposition in response to content which was posted by a fellow FlyerTalk member — I find that far more valuable than a “like”; and the person can also express himself or herself in virtually any way he or she chooses.
In viewing the “like” system over at
Milepoint — which has been in place for almost four years now — the amount of “likes” the content receives does not sway my opinion about the content of what was “liked”; so I find it to have little value.
After giving this proposal some thought, while I am open to trying out this idea on FlyerTalk and giving it a chance — I could be wrong, after all; and it would not be the first time that has happened — I am not in favor of it for the reason I cited.
