I can't find where to post user feedback

I can't find where to post user feedback · by Zeta 1/7/2020, 09:23

So, I saw that The Godfather posted this in another topic:

The Godfather wrote:Hello,

Once user feedback is processed, we will attempt to post additional information to customize the Like and Dislike buttons (label, icon or image).

We will send small patches tomorrow normally (pop-up when a visitor clicks on one of the buttons to invite him to connect, visual patches...). I advise you to avoid any modification because in case of modified template, you will have to manually report the latest developments.

Thank you.

I was looking for where to post user feedback for this new "feature" but I can't seem to find the right location. Is there a specific topic or am I just supposed to make one? Where am I supposed to post "I've disabled this new like/dislike system on my forums but that doesn't help me here. Since this has been forced on me I think it would be a good idea to give individual users the option to disable the feature for their own topics and posts on forums where the like/dislike system is enabled. As it is now, I'm extremely uncomfortable posting at this support forum for fear of being mercilessly judged."?

A suggestion for what? Adding a user feedback section to this forum?

Hello,

Forumotion is not waiting for your preferences or ideas to give additional info to customize it.

The Godfather simply meant Forumotion had received bugs report and was solving them before offering info for customization.

If you disable option and still have buttons on your topics, that's a feedback
If you want to remove buttons from your own posts, that needs either a suggestion, or a topic in support area

It's not a feature suggestion. The "feature" already exists and has been, unfortunately, put into play. It's feedback on the "feature" that needs to be implemented. As it is now it makes for a very unwelcoming environment in this place where people are trying to find help for problems.

You can just deactivate if you do not want it. There is a No and Yes option in the AP for it. This was exact;y an old suggestion that Forumotin decided to add.

That only works at my own forums and I've already disabled the "feature" completely there. It doesn't help here. I've searched through the options in my preferences three times over and can't find anything to disable it on my posts and topics at this forum. That's what the "feature" needs, a way for individual users to disable it for their topics and posts on sites like this one where it's enabled. This is a support forum. People should feel comfortable posting their questions here without having to fear merciless judgement. I know I'm certainly not comfortable here right now.

Do you mean the support forum? If yes, you can not turn it off. Only administrators have access to the AP.

Most forums (non-Forumotion) I am a member of that has this feature does not have an profile option to turn it off.

Just don't care about it. We have many scripts running on this site

Yes, I know I can't turn it off here at the support forum. That's the problem and the main thing the feedback I'm trying to give relates to. Individual users really do need to have an option in their preferences to turn the like/dislike feature off for their topics and posts here at the support forums and any forum where it's enabled, but especially at the support forum. Having that feature activated here at a support forum make me very uncomfortable posting anything here because a support forum is meant to be a safe place to ask for help without being judged.

hello

the new like feature is not related to the reputation system
so how this system makes you feel unsafe its only like/dislike option ?
the dislike option is not showing names by the way

I have to agree, I do not like the dislike button on any forum. I really do not see the need for it on the support forum. The fact that users can dislike anonymously is even worse I think.

That said it is their forum and we have to respect their choices, but I would definitely support your suggestion/feedback that they consider removing it Smile

As for a safe place, it still is in my opinion even with this dislike button. I am sure if there were to be abuses with it by members, the staff here would deal with it Very Happy

Although I am sure it could be upsetting to see dislikes marked on your posts.

The topic was posted in the wrong section, so I have moved it to the correct section.

The like/dislike system allows for people to judge other people on this support forum. It turns a place into a battle ground for popularity instead of what it was meant to be. In this case, a place where people can get help for problems. Its presence here unnerves me.

On a side note, it took me a whole day just to find this topic...

There's two great ways to find a topic you have posted in or started.

1. If it is recent it will show up in the latest topic widget that you can find in the Portal

2. Click on your name at the top right and then click "my posts" or "my topics" Very Happy

I'd love to post feedback. Thanking forumotion. But I don't have 50 posts to be able to do that yet. I've been around forumotion for over a decade, but don't complain that much.

The support forum should be seen to use most of the new Features as they come in.
The like and dislike buttons are just away to like a post.

No one has ever used the Dislike button as far as i know.

I really don't understand what the problem is.

If you don't want to use it on the support forum then just don't use it. we are not going to remove it.
