Cant believe it already at 15 likes took me 11 years to get 10 and 5 mins to get 5 more, I will have to put some serious time into a really interesting and useful post I am now addicted to being liked. .............................
I remember a time, not to long ago, when we could downvote posts on the internet, but that time has passed and since been replaced with fake positivity.
OP, almost 2 days needed here on my side to guess the true reason why do you want your likes count to be freezed: it's 69!... you, you... you pervert!!!
I knew what he meant right away since I'm old lol. We used to use that term all the time when I was a kid (20's).
What is "like"?... and there's a button for it? All I know is after 13 year's and 500 posts I would LIKE to kick Superman's ass still ; ) Hilbert, can you make an "unlike" button just for me? I would rule at that : )
A small or 1/2 like would be pretty useful. There are many times I want to show a little appreciation for a post but dont want to go full credit. No doubt this doesnt deserve a full like... my point is made It could be implemented without much change in the code or storage. ie double everyones current like count and display half that. This keeps the status quo. The Like button becomes 2 likes in the database (1 real like) and a new "Like it a little" button is 1 like in the database (1/2 a real like). Use a 2 colour code for which type of like when displaying names. Overcomplicated stuff is not so good but this is quite easy.
Rumor has it that this is like a cave with like riches of likes and by entering this cave you'll likely get likable by many like minded Gurus alike. (this post made no sense)
