[QUOTE="Administrator, post: 1013674, member: 1"] I don't think it's quite dislike - it's more of a 'I don't agree', I'll clarify that tomorrow. Are you using in grey? Its under your username? [IMG]http://puu.sh/m3Sze/5879824f8d.png[/IMG] That's not intended. The intention is to actually understand what people think. A like isn't always appropriate - so it's more like thanks, like, optimistic, i don't agree, etc - I will clarify tomorrow. It's not about segregation, it's about cohesion. It's about improving health and in this case it's about seeing past the label (we're a community, it's not about labels) - realising that the label is *[B]really[/B]* useful to giving you context about what you're reading. For example, if a newly diagnosed member with T1D came in and received info from someone who had prediabetes in a thread. It's unlikely, granted - point being that it's useful to know who you're speaking to and putting it under the username kinda makes sense. There's an option for Private in the settings, too. (In an online community though, I do think there's a benefit to showing that. For example, if someone claims to be a doctor - at the moment you'd only know he was a Newbie.) It's for Family member (it was 'A family member has diabetes' but there's a character limit as there's not much space there). Private is in. :) Online? Posts, likes, engagements, etc. Agreed - that's why it's a community. Ont hat note, there's something else we'd like to try, which is allowing members who have been banned in the past being allowed to rejoin (if a permanent ban is/was served). Currently, they're unable to use the forum (unless they go to the trouble of creating another account with a different email, etc - which does happen) and it makes sense that a community showed compassion like that. Plus, if you contributed to the forum, it makes sense that you'd continue from where you were once banned... we're just talking to the mods about it and will have something ready for 2016. See, the Dislike button (or the I don't agree button) would have been perfect right now :) [/QUOTE]
