New Feature Idea: Adding a '+1' Feature

[theljstaff]

Hello!

As noted in our news post a few days ago about the redesign, we want to get better about asking for your feedback on new feature ideas or upcoming changes prior to rolling them out. We'll be reviving this lj_feedback community as part of that endeavor, and this 'new feature idea' post will get things started. (We're still monitoring the redesign post

Definitely for comments, don't care about posts. Yesterday I was online as the most recent News post went online and got there when there were no comments, typed a reasonably lengthed response and it ended up being 2nd comment.

Most of the replies to that have been +1, with no extra content, it'd be nice to ahve them separated out, as anyone +1ing isn't engaging in a discussion or asking me q question, etc.

+1

Agree 100% I kinda find it hard to follow a thread when 80% of the replies are just +1 or 'Ditto'. Having a +1 button would make news posts and a lot of community posts easier to read.

+1

I agree, having the +1 is really just a tidier version of the stream of YES and THIS comments.
