Hello everyone,

The 'Like' button has been live for a week now, so it's time to gauge response.

Whether 'Like' stays or goes is entirely up to you. Please complete the poll below, which will be open until Wednesday afternoon (12th June). Your decision will be final!

Thanks,

Daniel Haynes

    How about if we're not bother either way but we think that the button is pointless without alerts to tell people that their post has been 'liked'?
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I've liked you back just because I liked that you liked my like post. o:)

    Agree that an alert with it would be useful

    Just an observation. There are effectively 2 options for keeping it, but only one option to lose it.
    I'd have thought a simple "keep" or "lose" might have simpler.

    I don't see any "moaning" only observations and ideas.

    Well you know what they say, you can please all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time. :p

    I like things that go fast 
'Cause I know that good things don't ever last 
I like believing in what I want to 
Don't like no one to tell me what to do 
And I like the times that we've had 
But I couldn't tell you what's good or bad 
I'm only hoping that you understand 
This feeling that I'm feeling when I'm holding your hand
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    So there are two options with the vote “keep it”, and only one with “it’s got to go”.
    I realise, the editors don’t have to have studied statistics or mathematics or, indeed, psychology. But seriously, Two options for Yes and one for No???
    Why not one each?

    Manipulative ... deceitful ...? Credit Daniel with enough wisdom to come to a balanced judgement.
