They like your post if you give quality answers, if they like what you said in general and maybe if you just add to the contribution. Don't ask directly for people to like your posts, but instead say "Please leave a like if I have answered a question, or helped in anyway." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People will either like your post or not like your post. There is nothing more irritating than peeps begging for likes. So just say your stuff an leave it as that I say. It's not a competition.

However people will like your post if they want to and if not then they won't, as that is right, but there is no harm in having that on your signature. @Preston_bodhi_343 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just trying to help. This forum seems to be same as TLD forum only more relaxed on what you say. Edited February 9, 2017 by nicko2u Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried to remove the bottom one and make it to a URL link instead but the max is 3 and so the other ones are as the links instead. I wanted to make them all links; like also add the links to the Q&A's too but it is not possible as i said I maxed out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Thank god, reputation and number of posts are not related. I think that all internet forums would be infinitely better if posts count was completely removed. I can't think of anything possitive about this number, but I can easily think of a number of bad side effects. People make a competition of anything that has numbers, and that is bad for a forum, like all that single-word-posts that clutters threads, like that stupid sense of entitlement feeling like "I've written three gazillion posts, therefore I'm right and you are wrong", and I could probably go on. On the contrary, I would leave the 'likes'. Only likes but no reference to total posts count. That would encourage members to write quality and and try at least to come up with help or to bring something new to the conversation.
