Love it buttons - anonymous or not?

MuppetFan

KG think that sufficient people have made a case about "Love It" being anonymous so that people can feel comfortable "liking" something. Here is an anonymous poll that will give us those who didn't write a PM about it.

And it even says under the poll, no one will know how you vote.

We should direct people to this poll somehow so more people can weigh in

Maybe we need the candy van again?  @AddieL73

Has anyone else been "loving" as many of the posts supporting removing anonymity on it as much as they can? 

ETA - corrected my typos

peekaboo2011

Yes.

Also - MUPPET FOR KNOT GOD

You got my vote!  Why in the hell would I like something if nobody can see that I liked it?

FYI, I just loved your poll.

I announced it over on NEY.

She can be our poster child. Every post she has gets a bunch of love its.

Yesterday I was amused by one post with a ton of "stickers" on it because I saw all Tarra's avatars together.

Also, I keep thinking about the person's comment from the other day about "a sticker for you, and a sticker for you" when I love a bunch of things and it makes me giggle. I can't imagine how one thing we've given lots of appreciative comments about is seen as a problem.

Is this English?

Cross-post the poll among all the major boards (including Reception and WP, since those are big ones with lots of newb traffic) to get a better sample.

No, I suck. I hate it when I do that. I'm going too fast sometimes and I don't even have an ipad to blame it on.

Not gonna lie, that van is pretty creepy. 

I really want candy now.

I said this over on NEY but I think you should be able to see who has loved and flagged your post.

Agreed!

Blue & White

I don't support anonymity. Isn't that the whole reason it's "easier" to bully people online than before the Internet?

I want to see who loves me! And who flags me. Because frankly, I deserve to be informed.

AddieCake

Allie, the van is creepy, but you got in it!  Good girl.

If that poll really does show that more people want it annonymous, then I won't bring it up again.  I'm even fine with the people who are saying they want it to be private.  I just think the KGs listening to the two people who voted no is a little ridiculous.

I think that neither flags nor loves should be anonymous, and if this decision remains in place, I've got little enough invested in here.  Unlike a lot of regs, I've only been around since January and haven't made any lasting friendships.

Then again, I'm pretty sure that the purpose of @KnotPorscha, @KnotJackie, and @KnotIrene's decision is to drive out those of us who actually try to give real advice to brides instead of going all "OMGZ itz ur day!  u shuld totes hav a cash bar!"

peekaboo2011

I would just like to point out that if we did a Chi Square test right now, it would point out that our test results are significant and the majority of TK does not want flags/loves to be anonymous.  As soon as I finish my email listing, I'd be happy to give you a p-value.

I did lol at this, but it truly makes me so sad if it's true. Back in my lurking days of 2011, TK boards (well the old TK) totally set my ass straight. I am forever grateful that I was a great hostess to my guests thanks to advice found on the old TK boards.

But I can "OMGZ totes have a head table and separate couples!!" with the best of them, if that's the game we're playing here.

brielleinlove

@itzMS, I just loved your post.

I think we should post to a thread every time we love something so that people can know who loved them.

AddieCake

I agree with you, MS. It was from lurking a much rougher TK a couple years ago that I learned how to be a good hostess AND how not to make a fool of myself when I first started posting here this year.

My last idea of validating all bad ideas for a day backfired, so I have another. What if all of the regs just stop responding to any posts for a day?  It will serve two purposes. 1. Special snowflakes will feel more special since everyone agrees with them and their bad ideas. 2. It will know KGs that this place will be dead without the regs.

AddieCake

I'm certainly in. 

ETA: Excellent point, Linger. I was thinking that yesterday. The board went from dead to hopping instantly, which will draw in new people soon enough.

Agreed, Stage.  We would have to promote it across the major international boards, and I'd be willing to bet a lot of them won't care.

Yeah, that's the problem. Everyone would have to be on board with it or it wouldn't work.

Swazzle

I can pretty much guarantee that NEY would be up for this.

Bring on the love!!

I really like this idea, but instead of just not posting, maybe we should not visit the site for an entire day. This way we wouldn't be contributing page views either. 

I'd be productive in real life again that day.

Grr. It won't let me click outside the box.  I agree with this.  We would have to be completely gone.  And all of the regs would have to be.
