Why not just have a single "like" if the plan is to stick with it? Can't see the sense in aggregating as Ginny said.

The problem with just having Like is someone puts a post on saying Sack Hurst and 12 people "like" it, then it gives a totally false impression. But if 12 people approve of it and 9 people disapprove of it (i.e. +3 in the new system) then it tells a totally different story. The reason for giving an aggregate score is to show whether the community broadly agrees or disagrees with a post.

Why not have a forum vote, for and against?  Let democracy decide it's fate

I think that for this forum the aggregate idea is a bad one Rob. The old system at least gave the poster an idea of whether his/her opinion had registered in the minds of fellow posters even if the red crosses were in the majority. An aggregate gives no feedback at all. A zero could be because there are 20 ticks and 20 crosses or 0 ticks and 0 crosses.

I know a lot of sites like the GT do use aggregate scoring but for the Fishy we should have what suits us not change for the sake of uniformity with other sites.

Just get rid !!! They create Bias , they may think a poster is talking rubbish because of the x
Spot on for me.Like mentioned before why not get rid of the rep thing as well and just have a rating for a single post thats not  accumalative.For me the fishy would be a much better site for for it .Incidentally this is how a lot of other footy sites work as well

Show me an example of how you think it should work.

If 12 people approved and 9 people disapproved, I think most of us would be capable of working out which number was higher as displayed previously in the tick/cross boxes. Without the need for this tricky bit of maths to be done for us.

Appreciate you're looking at ways to improve the site Rob but I don't think this needed altering.

Look at the" football forum more than a game "Robb.Probably the football forum with the most traffic and this is how they do it.Single like for a thread and to be fair you could add  a dislike button as well to get a measure of the view point amongst the fans but I dont think accumulative is the way to go.Apart from that Robb its a good site for us fans and I appreciate the work that goes into it

Some of you may have noticed that we now show the net number of ticks and crosses of each post (i.e. a tick is +1 and a cross is -1) rather than the number of of each type of vote. So if a post received 4 ticks and 3 crosses it will have a score of +1.

Make sure you refresh the page to get the latest CSS as I have changed the layout recently.


Why fix it when it aint broke  
And it gives you less feedback

Put it back to how it used to be. An aggregate score is useless.
