not sure where to post this but it’s becoming more than obvious what a farce they are.

Why? I like being able to tell someone that they said something I enjoyed reading.

I don’t see them as a farce so much unless they are used to goad. They are convenient and many of us use them but I tend to think that cut off conversation that could be had. Most of us take the lazy way out. I’m guilty of it myself.

Quantum reps was the same thing.

I agree with Plover. It's really the only way that the community is allowed to signify the quality of certain posts, and it gives a great deal of information about how many voices reflect a certain viewpoint.

I remember that. Then there was the blessing thing.

Sorry. I found it funny and had to use the funny button.

There should then be a sorry button and a disagree button so the full spectrum of opinions is available. Those who disagree are not being represented unless they post as such.

Well people can posts their reactions, can they not? Depending on the forum.

If you are not happy, just don't use the buttons, and then the rest of us can enjoy them.

Just as they can post as to why they agree. Convenience for some is the answer?

It was a reminder as to the cliques that are pretty mindless imho

True. I don’t think any of us are really losing any sleep over it. My only concern is it tends to limit conversation when you could post your reaction to a post instead of pushing a button and moving on to the next topic.
