And yet it appears that didn't happen so common sense prevailed.

You can keep your passive aggressive likes to yourself...

What do we all think? There seems to some consensus of opinion that, if Scope consider what has been said above, that either we shouldn't have any reaction buttons at all, or perhaps just one or 2. What Ami has said makes a lot of sense to me; you can't respond to all 3 current options, so simplify it down to one or 2 (if we have to).Altho, as Mike intimates, there was some discussion earlier this year, I think it was in general about a member contributing, hopefully positively (& they might have been a member for a while), & tho 'likes' may have been mentioned, I admit to not remembering these specifically. I'm not aware of a single member being racist, tho a few new members on occasion have unfortunately become abusive. Everyone should be moderated equally, but, if we put our trust in the Scope team, they will moderate to the best of their ability, & weigh up the 'pros' & 'cons' too; that's also hopefully part of the equation.....things are not always black & white, unless they're facts!0

Unfortunately i have occasionally clicked by mistake and ended up as 'liking' a post I certainly didn't!Username_removed said:Yes, you simply hover over before doing your own.0 -
I suggested a unhelpful button not in a negative lots of sites ask was this helpful what is the point of people saying similar things if the information isn't helping if we were to say the information was unhelpful people get in trouble not everything is helpful and as people said people take time to write things so if it's not helpful isn't it better to say so ????

A forum is real life so would you go round saying to people because of a comment outside when your out or on the phone or hsve a meeting would you continously tell people I like it its awesome sometimes things said on here dint match what realy happens in life not being nasty or rude0

I wish I'd known that!Username_removed said:
A second click sorts that. However, one might ask where those instructions are on the site given the differing IT skills people inevitably have.calcotti said:

Sorry but an unhelpful button would be extremely rude and very disrespectful to members who spend so much time helping others. If someone doesn't like a comment there's the "flag" button where it can be reported discreetly.

I don't think any member here posts a comment that they think is unhelpful. A member might post info that is inaccurate or misleading, in which case a member of the Scope team, or other members, try to correct the misinformation.How would a new member react if an 'Unhelpful' button was used for their post? Surely better to give a reply instead.As mentioned above, many members give advice, so again surely it's better if a member doesn't understand the advice given, to say so, rather than use an 'unhelpful' button.And of course such an 'unhelpful' button wouldn't be misused. The removal of the 'Spam' button was a welcome relief, I don't think we need any buttons that can be perceived negatively.Is life so short that we can't text a few words, but have to rely on buttons to express what we mean?1

So is it just better to say that the information isn't helpful if it isn't ?? If I typed a response to someone i would want to know if it was helpful vice versa if I was given information that wasn't helpful I would say it wasn't because if you don't there would be lots of comments similar
Isn't it better to say the information isn't helpful then I supose it could be explained why when people type people read things in a different way so give advice thst the poster isn't realy asking for then threads go wrong because people get frustrated0 -
Sometimes the advice that's given is fact and not someones opinion. For this reason there's not much that can be done if someone disagrees.... there's also a flag button that you can use if you don't like the advice that was given.

You can hover over it on PC as above. But because it's a 'hover' function, it doesn't work on touchscreen mobile devices.Justcheckingin15 said:Just wondering...Can we actually 'see' who has liked a post?1 -
This is the main reason I use reaction buttons. If I don't have a wordy 'response', and a single word 'thanks' just looks sarcastic...being able to click a like or thanks shows the poster that you've read and appreciated their post.Cress said:
I agree, sometimes you're not up to engaging and a thanks button is at least something.
In a similar vane, I often read a post where someone has had an awful experience, I can't offer any advice on their topic, and maybe others can't either, but want them to know that the post has been read and thought about rather than just letting it drop down the page with no replies because no-one knows how to help. I have no idea if that feeling can be condensed into a single word!
As with others, I think the Awesome button is pretty irrelevant. I have used it in the past as a replacement for the 'funny' button that I use on other forums but it doesn't really fit. I know this is a more 'serious' forum due to the subject but people still regularly make jokes which lighten the mood and currently there's no reaction to 'share' in that humour... I guess some (most?) will complain that it would be used for negative reasons though. So it looks like the safest option is just to have a 'thanks' button... Insightful doesn't seem necessary alongside thanks (though it does have relevance if we stick with 'like').0 -
Its all just suggestions that scope asked for, at end of the day they'll make their own minds up. I don't really have any ideas apart from if it ain't broke don't fix it lol.0

I do understand it seems there is a communication block all I am trying to say is if information isn't helpful thst has been given that we can say it isn't helpful instead of others going down the same line of advice0

No communication block here. An unhelpful button would be extremely rude and i'm not the only person to think this.
