I wonder what role the “like button” has played in the change in tone. It’s one feature I definitely use, but would choose to get rid of if I had the power. I think it can have a negative influence.

Yep. It don't take much looking to figure out HT is a good place. Great people too. Thick skin is required at times. I wouldn't change a thing. mtmuleyI’m pretty new but this place is one of the most civil I have found on the interwebs. Wealth of knowledge on all things hunting and conservation. A great central location for western hunting updates too. It’s nice to find a place somewhere between the usual echo chamber and a no holds barred royal rumble.
Becomes rather, tribal in certain settings. Outside that, I enjoy sharing a thumbs up for a good comment, etc... no matter the person.How so? Egging people on?

The devil”crats” made me do it.I think it's too easy to fall in to the trap of blaming our attitude and actions on outside influences, and to not take personal accountability.
I hate how preachy that makes me sound, but I believe it. I also know how guilty I can be of it.
The real value of Hunttalk is the way online interactions have led to real life relationships.The petty crap and ignorance certainly gets obnoxious. Some great characters I’ve come to know personally however, makes up for a lot of bs.
Yeah. Sometimes. If you pay attention, you can see tribal lines being drawn on certain topics by people’s “like” patterns. I wonder if it adds to the hostilities, to distill one’s thoughts on often highly nuanced topics to oversimplified symbols of approval or disapproval.How so? Egging people on?

Also, if I’m to be honest with myself, I’ve noticed it has had an influence on my own posting since it was added to the forum a year or so ago. Saying things I might not ordinarily say, because I think I might get a “like.” As if it actually means something. But that’s my own personal problem that, like @Randy11 said above, I need to take personal responsibility for and do some work on.
Like.I'll be paying attention to the way I am tempted to use the button now. Definite food for thought.
Negative or went down the crapper when they let anyone join. It used to be for college kids only (you have to have a .edu account). Those were the days a boobs and keg stands...I don't think it's a coincidence that Facebook went down the crapper when liked were introduced.
I totally agree with that, whilst it has only happened to me on one occasion I was pm'd for 'liking' a post and questioned why I dared to do it, it was an innocent 'like' but taken in the wrong way by the member concerned, that person is now on the ignore listI wonder what role the “like button” has played in the change in tone.
