Maybe we don't need such rules - and instead we just encourage you to let others know their attitude or actions toward you are not appreciated? Might fall on deaf ears tho
It's a shame we don't have a proper block function, as that would solve 99% of the biggest problems Mods face.

Just thought - works well on Facebook too
. How it work on Facebook (and the other forum) is that the names also appear. I like it a lot to be honest with you.

As for facebook, you can't dislike posts, only like them. Which is kind of stupid. If you're going to have one, you should have the other. That's like saying "You can only LIKE posts, but if you dislike them, tough patooties!" LOL

There have been so many posts on here that I have liked and there has been no way for me to let the poster know.
I wouldn't like to see a 'Dislike' option as that could be used in a detrimental way!

I agree.
As for disliking a post you could say a lack of 'likes' is more or less the same thing - either the post isn't anything special or you don't agree with it.
