Jump to unread Post a Commentcompletely different. No point in having a 'Like' system if people cant even thank the OP
Seems an obvious omission to me oO
Your deal reaches 100 percent..................end.
Your deal reaches 100 percent and 10 people have liked/thanked you for your submission.
Pretty obvious which one is going to motivate you to post more deals and be a more active member ?
Why have a like system ?

On deals I disagree. There is no 100% cap hottoshop the temp can keep rising. Why would you want to click hot and click like? What's the difference in meaning that you would want to do both on every deal you thing is good?

Yeah I worded my post badly although it should have been obvious that the 100 percent was just a plucked figure, what I meant was that the OP of a deal just sees a temp to indicate how his deals have been received.
Personally I'd like to be able to thank the OP of a deal through the like button, to me that's common courtesy, although I accept that one can always post a thanks in the actual thread.
Not sure I understand why there is a like system if it can't be used for the sites main function, posting deals ? I'm also quite happy to thank a deal poster in any way possible if they've helped me save money, why wouldn't I ??

couldnt agree more and cannot see how admin cant see it too.
its obvious that people would like to thank an OP by liking the deal. What exactly is the point of the like system without this?

Much like when you use to be able to leave rep to a deal poster to say thanks. I'd see the like feature on a deal posters deal as an appreciation of the time/effort they went to sharing the deal.
Without the facility to actually use the like system for something constructive like this it all seems rather redundant and as it stands the like facility is just like the old rep system with little groups sharing the wealth with each other.
Just take a look at the clicks for pet food thread........someone say's 'clicked' and it gets tons of likes.........somone replies 'well done' and it gets tons of likes. The system is no different to the rep abuse system you wished to get away from with the one exception being you can't actually use it for a legitimate purpose any longer.
Is there a situation where you would 'like' a deal but not think it is hot?
If the deal showed who voted hot would you still feel you needed a like button? Is it an attribution thing?

I just think it adds a more personal touch and would be more encouraging to the deal poster.
I don't see it as a must but also then fail to see what the point is in the like system and why it's here if not to be used in this manner.

Yes, if a "hot" vote is an entirely subjective vote on the product, cost, retailer, or any other attribute to the listing then you may not vote at all, but wish to show appreciation to the person listing the deal for bringing it to you attention or to the attention of others.
You do not need to justify why/how you have voted:

You may feel inclined to "Like" the deal thread in general though or show an appreciation of the time/effort spent compiling the information,
I would add a comment to say "Thank you", but not everybody is the same.
BFN,
fp.
Just to be clear I do agree 'like' should be on non-deal OPs.

But you really can't see why it should be on deal OP's ??
I have to admit I'm quite stunned and mystified by that. Your site though so I'll bow out.................
Edit. Bow out of the debate that is, bit to old to be sulking and throwing toys about , lol.

I think the personal support is a good reason for having it - for those of you who are strong members of the community I don't want to discourage you from posting thanks etc by this decision.
Maybe when clicking cold, it would perhaps minus a like?

I guess maybe OPs can put in a comment in post #2 saying CLICK LIKE IF YOU VOTE HOT
if you are planning on putting it in for all threads except deals then I cant see why you wouldnt put it in for deals as just as easy. Members are aware of the vote system so cant see the heat counts being affected at all. Especially as the heat icons are far more prominent.

good idea actually for the voting hot but we dont want to discourage people posting deals if they get minus for cold votes imho
.... and I can see how you could like the effort the poster has gone to even if the deal is a pretty poor one in the end.
Perhaps the way around it is to give all deal posters a number of 'likes' e.g. 5. It lacks the personal touch but maybe it's better than nothing? I think that each hot = like would distort the numbers horribly.
