The Like System

Hey,

Got some pretty fun stuff to announce today. For quite a while we've been thinking of ways that MMOCCForum could create a better partnership and tighter integration with developing MMOs.

Our solution is our newly developed 'Like' system. The like system replaces the reputation system, and users can Like any post that they think contributes to the forum. But the key to the Like system, is that we plan to partner with MMOs to exchange Likes for in-game benefits/rewards.

In return all partnering MMOs will get an expanded Forums section, such as BittyBay, and it will further encourage MMOCCF users to participate within your community.

We think this will be a mutually beneficial agreement, that will benefit all our users!

If you'd be interested in including your MMO with the Like system then please PM either Willy, Jason or myself and we'll sort something out . You can offer anything to exchange the likes for. Perhaps early beta access if your game isn't released, exclusive in-game items if it's open, or exchanging likes for in-game currency.

This system has been developed especially, and we will be working with MMOs to ensure that it doesn't get abused. We've added some limits in already, such as you need to have at least 5 posts to like posts. Also users can only like 10 posts per day. The like system will also be moderated to ensure the system isn't abused!

We hope you'll be as excited for this feature as we are!

How about if people dislike something? Pretty cool feature.

The like system is to reward users for thoughtful post content. We think this will be more effective than punishing users who are not going to learn anyway.

So what happens? You like someone's post, and they get rewarded in games such as Bittybay with (lets say) 1 bit.

You'd need a way to link accounts then right?

We have an API, that allows MMO's to deduct likes. MMO's can implement it however they like.

This is awesome, I think 10 people should test out this feature on my post.. just to be sure it works.

Very cool feature!

This may be a bug on my side of the fence or maybe something you can do to improve this -

When I like a post, the number of likes disappears.

P.s the far right 'Likes Received' I didn't even notice at plain sight.

I'll take care of it tomorrow. Also guys, if you have 10 or more likes you can enjoy MF ad free!

I like this idea, definitely a much unique method than seeing the "Thanks" button on other forums... which is getting very repetitive.
