POLL: Do you want a Like button? Poll has ended!

Who is TFG?????

I'm fairly confident that laffite is referring to Donald Trump aka "The Former Guy".

OK. Thanks. Abbreviations drive me up the wall!

When does the vote end today? Or is it already over? Today is my last day online for awhile. I might not be able to know till next year!

Hibi,

The poll vote ends today at 11:45 a.m. Pacific Standard Time.

Rats! I'll be gone by then.

Ah yes, we're both Ohioans, so we're both facing the same extreme winter storm that arrives tonight.

I do not believe the current votes of only 16 people are sufficient to change the manner in which this site has functioned since it began.

I totally disagree. This is a great site which has been reinvigorated by us refugees from the TCM site. If you looked at the most recent posts in the categories when we joined, they were years -- sometimes more than a decade -- old. The moderators of this board have already made some adjustments, to account for best practices on boards such as this, related to design, etc. The addition of a "like" button would just be another step in that direction, a step which those who don't want to use it, don't have to.

Yep. I'm leaving early and I'm off tomw through next year. Oh, well, I'll find out eventually!

If you look at the vast majority of recent posters, we are all people who joined this board within the last couple of months.

AGREE! This place was dead before we "refugees" brought it to life again! LOL.

Can posters double vote? Will it prevent voter fraud???

The only way that members could double-vote is if they have two SSO identities (which, to be fully transparent and to honor fully disclosure, I have -- accidentally).

Members can, however, change their votes, which seems to have happened in at least one case today.

The poll has ended.

The decision to add a Like button now rests with the SSO administrators and moderators.

a step which those who don't want to use it, don't have to.

Those who demand a: 'Like' button are quite free to go to: FaceSpace, Twitterings, Instaslut or any other trashy site which currently uses them. There is no objective reason to have one here.

The site was being used as an archive by members. It was quite fine at that. I remember no recruitment drive nor any promises made to attract new members. The admins went to great lengths to accommodate the influx of people desperately seeking refuge. This is how you repay their generosity of spirit?

It is quite uncivilized to enter someone's home as a guest and instantly start demanding they plaster their walls with posters of nude freaks, that rap performed by convicted criminals be played loudly all night and that a flagpole be installed on the front lawn so you can fly your hammer and sickle. What you are demanding is the online equivalent to those.

Y'all should be thankful that I am not an: Admin because I would likely ban several of those who agitate for this issue. The most I can do as a member is fear what asinine demands you will make next, devirginize my: 'Foe' list and hope that you soon tire of being trolls here and go to your kindred spirit's site where any old lung disease can become god.
