DonnyTJS Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) Evening All A few months back, when this new, bells-&-whistles version of the board was in its infancy, there was some discussion about whether the 'like' feature should be resurrected after a previous, disastrous attempt years ago (you could also 'dislike' posts in that version and it all ended in tantrums and tears - thanks Phart). I was agin it, due to the likelihood of normal message-board discourse being distorted by a flood of vacuous 'like-bait' posts (and because I knew I wouldn't be very popular). How wrong I was (apart from my relative lack of popularity). Instead of the board being awash with like-bait, we seem to be witnessing a wholly unexpected phenomenon - an Old-Firm-esque-of-yore domination of the TAMB league table by DoonTheSlope and Ormond. Now, I can think of three possible explanations for this: 1. Ormond and DTS continuously post fucking superb stuff that simply leaves the rest of us in the shade. 2. They have cunningly registered under alternative user-names with the sole purpose of liking themselves into a masturbatory orgy of apparent popularity. 3. There's a behind-the-scenes mutual liking going on that is quite frankly gay. And of course I don't mean 'gay' in the politically incorrect sense of mild disparagement; I mean full-on, mano-a-mano indulgence in the-love-that-once-dared-not-speak-its-name gay. Weighing up the probabilities, I think it's most likely option 1, in which case the rest of us need to up the quality of our posts. But I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise ... Edit: Perhaps we could have a poll? Edited January 29, 2018 by DonnyTJS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hey i just showed the flaws in the system by using it to instigate drama. Also nice disguised "give me likes" post. I reckon option 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Hibs Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) I wish the Admins of the site would spend less time sorting logos and like buttons, and actually set up forums for our competitive away games we have planned. Almost a week gone since Nations League fixtures were announce, and still no sub-forums. Edited January 29, 2018 by Brummie Hibs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormond Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 @TAMB1 Can you enable a way to find out who, in particular clicks the likes/laughy faces, etc on our posts?

phart Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Mods, don't do that. Anonymously is the best way and the way it was set up. Plus folk aren't as popular as they think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
