Suggestion Hard To Get Likes, Because..

I have one question regarding this. Can a new-bee like any other member's thread if the thread is helpfull to him? if yes then how??

 

Thanks.

one more question. new-bee has not the permission to post thread in all the categories except 4/5 categories. then how can he get like to establish member??

 

Well, were done too many changes here, everybody is talking about old iTrader / Feedback, new system with likes, but also alot of members were stopped using DP because of this kind of new rules. Also, there is a completely new design, honestly, I don't like it too much. There are too many changes who completely changed DP and all these new changes have a big impact, unfortunaly is a negative impact for alot of users.

Now, I don't know if what I think matter for you, but:

• New likes system was unfair for many users. I know, seller / buyer iTrader doesn't matter for you, but I'm sure there are at least 20% from users only for this section. If you don't care about them, about what they think and what happened with their work here (iTrader reputation, etc), you will lost at least half from them.
• New design is pretty nice, but there are a lot of undone work. For example, all buttons (Answer, Quote, Edit, Report, etc) are just small links. Maybe it's funny, but first time when I saw this new design, I searched few seconds to find them. Change these links with some nice buttons, the design looks pretty nice, but there are alot of bad things and I miss old design. Was "old", but was better structured.

P.S: Sorry for my English.

 

I have spent a lot of time in the DP, the Forum has become my main source of income, especially link sales but since the new rules into effect, until now I have not been able to offer a product that I wanted to sell because it needs 3 likes to be able to create your first thread. This really makes me broke...I'm still confused.

 

I think I will choose to go for 3 likes, I will struggle for it because I work alone...not with a company or group so for premium membership is too hard for me this time...thanks for your quick reply

 

This move to the Likes system is stupid and clearly was not well-thought out. I'd love to know what percentage of users no longer have access to the BST section. I'm guessing over 80% now? It will probably be dead within a year.

Maybe if it wasn't so strict and everyone was able to like people's posts then it wouldnt be too bad. But as it is now I would gladly welcome back the previous iTrader system we had. Could just be a marketing gimmick to get more premium member subscribers too.

 

You know what is funny, me and another super moderator just infracted 1 member today for asking for DP likes on his account/possible paying money. It's amazing how far people will go just to get 3 likes.

 

It is fair suggestion if people sell something here and make money, then some of them could afford to get a premium membership. However, if I am a BUYER, then it is unfair. I only want to buy services and do not have time to spend hours on the forum to contribute to the community. To make it fair, I believe there should be different rules for sellers and buyers.

 

It will be much harder to get likes now becuase only people how can give out likes have more than 3 likes, what is the point to help noobs when they can not even give out likes and established members are not gonna give out likes to noobs. They way the like system is setup is fail city

 

I am not a seller likes are the dumbest thing on most forums no one use it rating threads is used 20 times more. Asking people to post a lot more or buying a premium is just to much most people do not have 2 to 4 hrs a day to spend on this forum. I think the likes should be changed look at the posts saying the new likes rule is to much

 

Actually I find it much easier to get likes/karma now, not that I particularly need it.

The thing is that now this sort of reputation actually has some value and it's not just some pretty green boxes anymore.

Case in point, over 600+ posts before the change got me 38 likes. 5 posts after the change got me 4.

My advice for those that really need likes is: just try to find a topic you really know and then post in threads related to it. Be insightful, be detailed and don't be afraid to go against the general consensus if you know better.

Cheers,
