Are there any users of the LiveJournal blog server among the visitors of the “q&a” section?

Question

LiveJournal

If so, please note that the administration of LiveJournal and LiveJournal.Ru is thinking about introducing into LiveJournal the assessment of blog posts on the basis of "like" / "dislike".

And here's my question to you: what do you think about it?

I am curious to hear the opinion of those live journalists who are also Habrahabrovites - so they constantly deal with the system for evaluating blog posts by readers, which means they have experienced how it happens.

I must say right away: I have nothing to do with the administration of LiveJournal (and even treat it hostilely), so you can not be shy about me - and express your opinion about the innovation frankly, even if it is impartial.

Answer 2

No need.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Sitting.
I think this is relevant mainly for thousands of people, i.e. all sorts of radulovs, others and other swans. For the vast majority of users, this is neither cold nor hot.

Answer 5

I have a positive attitude, but only regarding the comments, probably, and no karma ... What would the current be possible to assess whether this particular comment of yours is supported or not ...
The main thing is that there would be no counters and ratings, otherwise the ass with topics will start

Answer 6

I agree that the author should be able to. but to make it a mandatory component of the post - no
