Why People Can't Like My Posts, And Why I Can't Like Others?!

Well,

i don't know why people don't see a like button in my threads and posts. And the same thing to me, i can't find this button.

So i don't know how some members here get those 3 likes, strange a little bit!

Waiting for your replies

Thanks

 

Because you are not an "established member".

There is a 'like' button under your post. The like button don't show under your own post.

 

Well, then explain to me how i'll get 3 likes from others that they are already established members. I mean the first one who became an established member, who is the one who liked him?

 

Ok, i guess i'll wait till i get 3 likes and be an established member.

 

good point raised. Well there is nothing much we can do, just have faith in the system and keep contributing.

 

@rahuldas14

, i think i should wait....

 

I too do not understand this. Am I an established member? I can not like anyone's posts. If I am not, why not? I have been here for years with good feedback etc.

 

No you are not.
Check out the link in post #2. It explains it.

 

seems ridiculous.. but a good way to get people to pay for a premium membership because the people who really love the site for it's information will never get the likes to actually post anything.

 

Considering Ive been helpful in almost all my posts. I guess

 

I'm beginning to think your stalking me Probably so.. I need to rethink a new contribution strategy..

 

LOL I agree I've been a member since 2010 (actually I had an account way before that but couldn't retrieve login so created a new account) but I never really posted much. Here lately I've been trying to get those three freakin' likes and I'm finding it super-difficult to achieve as well. I even laid out my entire SEO linking strategy for 2013 (surely that would get something, right?) and notta. Had a whole bunch of folks reply to thank me but nobody actually used the like button.

Check it out (hint hint ): https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/my-2013-linking-strategy.2631274

I think it's a little ridiculous that you have to be established in order to like a post. That means that the thousands of new members (the ones who probably need help the most) can't like a post when I help them out. All the established members think they are Gurus or something and won't bother to like a peon like me . Oh well, I guess maybe after I share everything I know and have nothing left to give I may have enough for those three likes, lol.

 

I also started this new system with no Likes. And my old feedback is better than yours. But I wasn't fettered with this, so keep positive and give contribution to this forum.

 

I think the whole 'like' thing is ridiculous.
Not everyone is here to contribute, some are here just to get info and to find partners or workers.
I wish I had something to contribute, but I do not. So, that means I am penalized because I am not here for what they think I should be here for. Kind of a strawman argument if you ask me.

Also, I would love to like some content on here, and boost other people's 'like' number, but am unable to do that.

 

# If you just want to get info, you don't need to be an established member (got 3 likes), you can read and reply all the threads here.
# If you want to find partners or workers, you can start a conversation through their threads.

 

Yes, that is my understanding as well, but what other limitations are there?
Am I able to list domains for sale? Or start threads looking for design work etc?
I was under the impression that there are some limitations to not having the 3 'likes'.
Cheers!

 

Yes, you must got 3 likes to do those things. If you can sell domain with good price here, or if you can find great design work with cheap price here, I think it's worth for you to take the premium membership.
This 3 likes rule is a great barrier to the spammers/scammers here who can easily make account(s) and start their threads with the old system.
