Feature idea: applaud a post
I can see why something like this makes sense for something like Facebook, where you might have hundreds of people reading a post and you don't want all of them Commenting, "Neat!" But most of the forums here - eg, the games - have, like, a handful of people, so even if they all like a post enough that they all want to call it out and say "That was awesome," it's not really a problem for them all to do that. All of them. All. I might not have emphasized that enough. All. Or I might be going overboard now. That's totally possible.
Anyway. -1 for me, too. I'm not a mod, but I am modest!
...Well. Sometimes.
Actually... that brings up another point. I am... at other times... not so humble, and sometimes feel like if there were an Applause button, everyone would naturally be clicking on it because my posts are so funny.*
The implementation of an actual Applause button could utterly destroy my self esteem.
*- Just so we're clear, this is not one of those times. This post is cute, but not, like, hilarious. Some of my posts are quite brilliant.
