Suggestion - Like & Dis-like introduction in every thread and its replies

[Former Member]

Hello,

There's a suggestion for introducing like & dis-like function to every thread and replies to the thread posted in different SAP Community Network Forums.

Advantages;

1. Indication to both, the thread generator & answering members of how other community members think about stuff posted in the forums.

2. Tool for motivation and confidence building.

3. Prevention of redundant replies.

4. Also, further the counts of clicks can be converted/calculated in monitory terms such as points to generator or answerer for certain counts of likes on his posts.

Reference;

Similar function is already being used for posts & comments submitted in Facebook (Social networking site).

Hi,

Then people will thumb up or down based on flag. You can change the system but you canu2019t change the mentality of people. Whose idea to evaluate employees based on forum points ?

If forum is not the way you like, then like the way it is.

Cheers.

Dear Passing By,

I'ld have simply clicked dislike on your reply rather than saying anything.

I'm happy with the way SCN forums work. However, subject was just a suggestion/idea highlighted for the enhancement of the systems, would request you not to take it personally please.

Thanks,

Mohsin

Mohsin,

Nothing personal. When I say you, itu2019s not you you, itu2019s forum members rather (including myself). Actually, I pick up a sincere and constructive sense from your suggestion. But in my opinion your hope is dashed, unless miracle happens.

I believe the top-down approach is not gonna work; it should be bottom-up. It all starts from the attitude of forum users, every little thing would add up. If you hang around in forums long enough you may know full well, weu2019re going nowhere. Itu2019s not a pleasure to say that but itu2019s a fact.

Regards.

i'd have simply clicked "Like" on your post without saying anything.

Wait for the new SCN to be launched in the coming months. We have such "Like" options and much more to improve the overall social experience. I suggest you to follow the updates.
