New site feature for the lazy asses

A while back I posted a story about getting you all to comment more (which received 0 comments) so I know people are reading these spectacular posts. Commenting also gives me feedback on the things I do post. The number of comments did improve but there are still some readers that aren’t commenting, according to the stats. The stats don’t give me feedback though.

So to make things easier then commenting I’ve added a vote system below each post, the – + buttons. If you like or dislike a post just click the – + button to move the score of a post up or down. This lets me know people are reading and gives me some feedback.

You can only vote once for each post and after you do it will display the stats for that particular post. Give it try, and please try to do this if you are not going to comment. Comments are still very much appreciated.

    Forcing people to comment usually means that users aren’t interested in the site in the first place.

    All I am asking (not forcing) is that the people that are coming back give me some feedback. You’re a returning users yourself so something must be interesting here.

    I read plenty of sites that have commenting but I hardly ever comment because its just a pain to enter your information each time you want to comment and your not going to comment to say something simple like “good post.” With a button people can easily let me know good post or bad post without having to make a silly comment. If people want to add to the comments then that option is still there and as I said very much appreciated.

    ok, maybe I am not a lazy ***, but I must be a dumb ***- because I don’t see the + or – signs below the story

    Hmm. It should be there. I just tested it in Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari.
