In the IGS I use it as a means of 'liking' a post that my character would like. Quality of posting does not really enter into it, nor does the level of amusement it gives me as a player. I don;t see the need to click 'like' on many threads about Intaki or Caldari politics, since my character could not give a toss about them. Even though I may have enjoyed reading them myself. In a way we have things like Facebook in real life and the like button concept and the Google+ version of +1 has emerged for reasons. I don't see why such reasons would not exist in eve either so I see no need to view it totally as ooc.

I understand people might want to click the like button to to encourage better forum posting habits, but I personally don't see it being effective in encouragement since other people click it for different reasons, myself being one of those other people.

Of course anywhere else on the forum I click it when I agree with a subject or a post gave me a giggle.

If I ever were to use the IGS, I'd use the function IC.

This. If I were to pres butan, I'd be doing it IC on the IGS. Elsewhere would be different.

I supposedly have a like here or there, but I've only posted to the new forum once. And despite being logged in and having notifications and stuff turned on, I still can't see any of that info.

I can begin to see the merit of using it as an IC function.

I still feel it is primarily OOC myself, but I guess that may or may not change in the future.

Heh, I just noticed that the "likes" under the profile names are the total likes the character has accumulated, not how many likes they earned from that one post. I guess they really are trying to encourage forum warfare and popularity contests.

[Malcolm Khross]

Right, which was my original issue with it.

[Makkal]

The majority of my likes are IC, and I assume that a like is from the PC and not necessarily the player.

I endorse your necroposting of Malcolm and Kaleigh guests forms.

[Rok-Yuni]

in my opinion...
OOC, always OOC...

if it was IC, and enforced as such, certain individuals would have far less, and others far more...
Not only that, I think the likes are across all the boards, so if you get 100 likes in the like and get likes thread. you look popular on the IGS

[Makkal]

I endorse your necroposting of Malcolm and Kaleigh guests forms.

Why thank you.

I'm liking all these threads being dug up so people who maybe hadn't seen them before have a chance to check them out.
