Jacob van Heemskerck 66 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I noticed that you can like your own post's (like giving youself a high five) and it ads up to a good poster status, this is very wrong imo? Can you disable this to prevent mis-use? because i could just like all my post's (even if they are bad) and get a good poster status! I like this to be the judgement of other forum users.

Henry d'Esterre Darby 3,806 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 "Good Poster" status doesn't really mean anything on these forums. Posters are judged on the basis of their content, not the count of their likes. Link to post Share on other sites
William the Drake 903 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 But I must agree I've always been perplexed by my ability to "like" my own content. I mean, I wrote it so of course it's going to be brilliant. But it doesn't seem that the counter actually does anything other that give said person bragging rights.I must confess however that I pride myself in have a 90% like ratio Link to post Share on other sites
Powderhorn 2,626 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I just find it as a handy reference to see who (roughly) agrees with what you're saying in that post, thus negating the need to agree with yourself. Link to post Share on other sites
Brigand 767 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 It is a known issue and I agree, it is odd. Fortunately, it doesn't hurt anyone. The worst that can happen is that somebody is fooling themselves into believing they are 1 like more popular than they really are :-) ~Brigand Link to post Share on other sites
Jacob van Heemskerck 66 Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 "Good Poster" status doesn't really mean anything on these forums. Posters are judged on the basis of their content, not the count of their likes. It's not a big thing agree, but i like post's who have a good content and thus it's a judgement of their posted content. And if you look at someone's profile you can see if he made good post's, and worthy to look wat his good post's are. liking your own post's makes the ''like this'' a bit useless. and like a said, ''I like this to be the judgement of other forum users.'' please think about to remove this option if it's possible? if not, so be it. it's not a big thing. but for improvement for the forum it would be great? imo Link to post Share on other sites
