.Timmy Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 They really are annoying and in my book, considered spam. I still don't get why IPS allows those types of posts. Most of them are just +1/-1 alone with no explanation on why the oppose or agree with the feature suggestion.If you want to show support for a specific feature suggestion, type it out thoroughly and justify your position - don't just add a "+1, I like this idea, too!" post.

.KX Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I think I usually write something to go along side my + and - 1's...but yeah, it can get annoying if people just say + or - 1 and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I was very tempted to just post "+1" but I wasn't sure if anyone would see the funny side.Yes, I think Charles even said himself at one point that this was extremely annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antony Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I think I usually write something to go along side my + and - 1's...but yeah, it can get annoying if people just say + or - 1 and nothing else.So do I. Though I admit I do have a few +/- 1 posts. This is usually when there is a worthy feature suggestion that is being ignored by the rest of the community and I feel a need to draw everyone's attention to it. I'll be the first to admit though that I should be less lazy and write a constructive post rather than just 'plus oneing' these feature suggestions. What really annoys me is when people 'plus one' every feature suggestion that they can find - this is really just bumping up postcounts.Perhaps we should be making our feature suggestion topics with polls attatched if we want to reduce the amount of +/- 1s?

theclub Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I see nothing wrong with them, I certainly don't see how they can annoy people, this is the internet, not real life.When someone makes a suggestion, and members are posting to agree or disagree, a +1 or -1 is a neat, succinct way of expressing their preference, and should be encouraged, I'm not interested in all your boring reasons, just your vote.+1 me if you agree. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they like the idea they should give some feedback on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think about it, it doesn't really make it easy to tell how many people agree or disagree with a suggestion - the people looking at it must read through an entire thread and count the "+" or "-" replies to determine the final counts. In all actuality, it would probably be far more useful if there were less people posting, but they all had a valuable insight into why or why not it is a good idea. Alternatively, a Poll would be a better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphzlaw1 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I was very tempted to just post "+1" but I wasn't sure if anyone would see the funny side.I had the same thought right after the initial post was posted, but didn't wanna get booed off the forum.
