FabSwingers.com forum: Idea for forums

I often wonder how many people have an opinion on a post in the forums but don't want to comment on it as it may change the way people view them or cause some bad feeling.

On some forums, there are buttons you can click on to agree or disagree (or like or dislike) with a comment. The BBC has an up and down arrow you can click on to give your feeling about what someone has posted.

When the button is clicked on, it adds to to the vote count (+ or -) but nobody can see who clicked what button, so it's anonymous.

It would allow people to show their opposition to a post without having to make a post themselves which often seems to degenerate in a slanging match. It would also allow people who make posts to better gauge the reaction to the opinions they have.

Any opinions?

Exactly. I think sometimes people want to show they agree with posts, without everybody knowing they agree!
