I just want to put in another plug for the middle finger option that Bob V. suggested.

And in our user profile it can keep a running tabulation of how many times someone shot us the middle finger.

"This user has been shot the rod 527 times in 14 posts" .. etc..

So I see the thumbs down choice is now gone, and just the like or thumbs up thumb is there.

I don't like the thumbs up or down. Making it more like Facebook is counter productive. Everything Facebook does is not good and should not be copied: tread gently when it comes to intellectual property. If you don't have something good to say don't post it. Thumbs down will only lead to negative feelings. I feel this entire post is thumbs down.

So a newbie with 100 likes on their car feels good. I don't really see it used as a doomsday evil weapon on the car sites. I am surprised at the opinions against here, it is so common anymore.

Once again I find myself in agreement with bird72.

I've been wishing for a thumbs up kind of feature as it's really handy to be able to just give a good post a bit of a boost rather than having to copy it then write "well said" or "I agree" or "that's right" or "right on" or .... whatever. Doing that clutters up a thread a lot more than just hitting the like/thumbs up button. This works well on other car forums I belong to. Nothing says you have to use it if you don't like it.

I do like the idea of the middle finger button... LOL!
