The oldest feature on the Slope of Hope is our custom-made comments system, which is where the community gathers 365/24/7. Everyone is welcome to Like and Dislike comments, and the sum total of those +1’s and -1’s is shown beneath any comments that have any Likes or Dislikes.
For many years, I and I alone have been able to see who, precisely, was doing the clicking. Over those same years, I’ve been asked repeatedly to allow the same visibility to everyone, not just me. If I had half a brain, I’d make this a paid-members-only benefit, but for now, after incessant prodding from you folks, I’ve decided to relent and allow it. All you have to do is click on the sum total.
When I asked my engineer to make this change, his immediately reaction was, “So you want everyone fighting with each other?” Yeah, I know, right? That’s why I’ve avoided it this long.
But…………..you asked for it! Hopefully it does more good than harm, and also hopefully you’ll see how responsive I am to your requests, even if it takes years of needling to get me to take action.
Be nice to each other, all right?
