Soo... there have been a number of times on this site that I have gone to press the "like" button (like on facebook) but find it isn't there LoL

I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in adding that feature? It would be great for those threads and posts and journals where you agree with waht the person said, or think the joke they made was funny... but really don't have anything to add...

i don't like those. its just "adding nothing" x10

yes. they do have a thing where you can rate someones journal. how depressing is that. you go to your journal and someone gave it a not so good rating. for me everything I write is inspirational to me.

Oh I don't like the idea of rating someone's journal.. that's not cool.

I'd be pretty hurt if I put one of my poems in my journal and someone rated it poorly.. I'd also be pissed cuz it's no one else's place to tell me when my feelings are good or not

DS used to have a 'rating' thing for posts. I think a couple of the options were "moving", "creative" -- long story short people were using them to be snarky. If they thought someone was lying, they'd rate the post 'creative', etc.

Sooooo, we've had some issues with stuff like that ***sigh***

There are some really good hugs we can give that carry a similar message!

Sometimes I like to PM a person telling them about something they posted and how it really helped me.

Yeh I do that too, Pep

Sometimes there are things I want to say or ask that I'm not sure the person would want said or asked in public... or sometimes I feel they just need something more personal and from the heart than a public reply to a thread

Or what about just having the option of being able to give a HUG in a post?

deleted_user 12/19/2009

I like to pm people to but now it kinda sucks that so many are set to private... like mine, I have to because of my ex coming on and dragging all my posts and journals to court but I add anyone from my groups that asks me.

No I don't like it either
