• The regular administrative staff are taking a vacation, and in the meantime, Biigoh is taking over. See here for more information.
  • A notice about Rule 3 regarding sites hosting pirated/unauthorized content has been made. Please see here for details.
  • Staff is working to deal with the problem of synonymous tags. See here for more information and to suggest tag mergers.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Proposal: expand palette of Like buttons with (icon) as follows...
- Headpat (hand)
- Lick (tongue)
- Poke (extended finger)
- Touch Inappropriately (pinching fingers)
- Meow (catgirl)

This will allow QQ members to express their affection in ways that are more forum-appropriate.
 
I know we are lewd and all, but it might make some members uncomfortable.

'Like' is boring, but it's reasonably value-neutral and work for most purpose. Very practical.

Well, okay. Catgirl can stay. Mostly because nobody agreed what it means. The rest, though...
 
Yeah I like the ambiguity of 'like' myself. Maybe I like the content, maybe I like the effort, maybe I like the ideas raised, etc. It helps flag the interesting posts in a thread if I'm browsing and lightly encourage whatever the person was doing without thinking too hard about the message sent like with a multiple-option system.

Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
There are many cases where I keep wishing for a SV-esque "hugs" (when someone describes their real-life troubles, there usually isn't much to "like" in there), but ideas along the lines of what the OP proposed (i.e. just differently-flavoured varieties of "like") are unlikely to be particularly useful.
