The Difference between Thanking and Liking (Upvoting)

[Goggwell 17.9k]

As the title says above, this is a thread which distinguishes the difference between thanking and liking.

 

 

Thanking 

 

Thanking a user means that you thank the thread starter for whatever he/she has posted. You can only thank a thread, not a post, comment or reply.

 

Thanking is mostly used for revealing the hidden content so you don't have to reply in order to unlock the download link.

 

 

 

Liking 

 

Liking, or upvoting, is when you like a post that a user has made. Unlike thanking, you can like anything. A post, a reply, a comment and a thread.

 

Liking is the most common form of appreciation for a user. Users generally love likes, so when you like a post, make sure you actually press that button with the 'up' arrow on it to give a like.

 

 

 

How to use Thanks and Likes

 

Like or thank a thread if it helped you. Don't just leave a comment saying Thanks! You can do that after you have liked or thanked the thread.

 

Like a post if you found it good, entertaining or informative.

 

Users love likes and thanks, as it helps them a lot. Please do not only say Thanks or Awesome, as it will not bring the user any happiness. Please give out Thanks and Likes.

 

 

Bonus: Rating Profiles

 

You can also rate a profile. Didn't you know?

 

From 1 - 5 stars, you can select any amount of stars from those numbers to rate a person's profile. A 5 for excellent, and 1 for poor. As usual.

 

 

Thank you for reading!
