Can we get a new comment Button?

MaryAnne

I'd like to see a new comment button readers can click on... along with the Insightful, LOL, and Awesome button.

Something that says "Interesting!" or "Thought Provoking!" or at least "Thoughtful!"

Any chance of adding one?

OneLifeForm

Insightful and Awesome kind of covers all three of those suggestions

I wanted to see a "Booooooooooooo!" icon too, just in case we were in the mood to heckle a little.

Yes in a way they do.... but sometimes comments need more thought, and/or more explanation before they can be declared "awesome" or "insightful".
Especially if one is talking about something more from a personal perception than written in stone obvious.... (kinda like my suggestion for a new button) But in the meantime, it's always nice to acknowledge and be acknowledged with a quick *click* even if there's not time to discuss.

Yeah sometimes I'm like, "that was funny, but not LOL funny". Sometimes I'm like "that was awesome, but probably not as awesome as you think it is" and sometimes I'm like, "that was Awesightful", but there is no way to recognize both simultaneously. Sigh. "Sighsightful"?

MaryAnne

Hey I kind of figured out the difference between a new "Interesting!" button and the ones we have already....

Interesting! would be a way to acknowledge a comment that is just that... interesting.
Doesn't mean I agree with the poster, or even disagree with them.
It would take more thought, but as it stands now, the comment is "interesting" and worth further consideration; or maybe just interesting enough to keep it this side of "crazeeeee" ?



PS:

Maybe an "I smell Bullshit!" button, too?
Ok, I can see where that one might be going too far.

I suggest making added use of the emoticons with a suitable remark....

:hair: ..."Well, I'll be damned".....!!

I want a "crickets" button. I want it to actually make the sound of crickets.

I'm less concerned about semantics than I am about keeping it simple.

No negative reactions, either. That's what flagging is for. Be nice.
