Will you agree or like a post by someone you don't like?

[King'sPawn]

Heeey there....guy....

Have we met before?

No. Want to be friends?

Edit: I was just trying to be silly

No. Want to be friends?

Hover over your name top right of your screen, select preferences>disable avatars

Thanks!! Worked.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Nah as a general rule I refuse to like a post by @Max Money

It's a matter of principle. There's a group of others who are just like me.

@Disclose @BonMorrison @SeidoN @PeterSidorkiewicz @M.C.G. 31 @Cor @Emperoreddy and...uhh...the rest!

 

[Field of Dreams]

Agreed. What I did was take a simple piece of cardboard and cut it 2 inches wide. Now whenever I come on the boards I just hand the cardboard over my left side of my screen to block out the avatars. It works amazing and I feel now I can respond without any bias.

LOL actually though?

yea man. Getting rid of the avatars is actually very freeing. Love that movie by the way. One of Costners better movies. That and Tin Cup.

Once I start to recognize a username as being argumentative or, as you called it, an enemy, I just click "ignore."

 

[Disclose]

this thread is indeed about @Max Money ....

 

[Fear]

I never like any posts because I feel the like system is bad for HF as a whole. It encourages memes/low effort responses instead of thoughtful posts. I don't want HF to become like /r/hockey

 

[Bounces R Way]

A good post is a good post, doesn't really matter to me who it came from or what team they cheer for. Most of the better discussions I've read on here is when posters disagree with the content of each other's posts and formulate sound arguments as to why. Would be a pretty boring place if all anybody did was agree on everything. Most of the worst discussions devolve into some variation of "You're a _____ fan so your opinion is invalid.", there's gotta be better things to do with your time than carry out grudges on the internet.

More like MaxFunny....looking that is!!!

 

[SeidoN]

sure

except @Max Money of course

 

[stampedingviking]

Certainly. Will read the post then look at the poster.

The problem with putting people on ignore is the stupid way the board hides posts, there can be whole swathes of conversation missing which makes some threads utter nonsense.

 

[oXo Cube]

I probably would never like a post from someone I actively dislike, but my threshold for disliking someone is a hell of a lot higher than some disagreements on a hockey forum.

As such, there have only been a few posters like that in my history on the board, and as you might expect none of them made a habit of posting anything worth a like to begin with.

 

[member 300185]

If a post makes good points why would any one not?

Right? But it happens a thousand times a day here.

 

[King'sPawn]

I like that idea!

Even if you don't like me, you like the idea of being friends with me? Hurray!

I get that. But you should consider "liking" posts that are actually thoughtful hockey posts, not just low effort/memes. Then maybe others will notice it got likes, and pay it more attention.

Not really sure who Max Money is, what team does he cheer for? He seems disliked but all of his posts cant be bad can they?

I think a combination of both makes for a good poster.

You never like anything??!!?

Hey man, like farming can be difficult if you stay away from the low hanging fruit:

Melnyk, dorion, tire fires, Oilers related stuff, Leafs victims/haters, villages, player tendencies (licking, whining/embellishing, cup checking - no names required), being "fleeced", doing the "fleecing".

There are opportunities for thoughful memes/jokes...dont let my post distract you from the fact that Chiarelli wasnt explictly mentioned...he's fair game in the low hanging fruit department. Please pick him. (Bold/italic/underlined)

Chiarelli in the low hanging fruit department.....

what makes you think I don't like you?

i swear if he makes a good post. we ask someone to quote it. and we like that post instead.

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

I genuinely cannot fathom how petty a grown adult would have to be to not be able to differentiate liking an opinion to liking a person, especially on something as unimportant as a hockey forum.

 

[member 300185]

Certainly. Will read the post then look at the poster.

Good point. I have 2 guys on my ignore list. I think I will undo that.

 

[Allan92]

I actually never look at usernames when I read the boards.

There's very few posters I'd know of or recognise
