heloman1 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 How come it i that people read your post and then just leave a Like? Surely, if you were attracted by the title and then had look, you could be moved to leave a comment! Mystified 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Kay Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 If there’s nothing I can say that’s constructive, I leave a like. I can’t see the point in just posting "nice build" or "lovely" or "great". 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see the point in just posting "nice build" or "lovely" or "great". I can go along with that. It is nice when someone spends extra time to personally compliment your work - what they liked, what they didn't, what I cocked up, etc. . My ego likes to be padded every now and then, and constructive padding is the best. Otherwise a "like" is just fine. Cheers, Bill 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Maybe a generational or a cultural thing where it is sufficient to acknowledge someone's input and show ones appreciation for it by marking as a 'Like' without using up bandwith with effusive blandness. Although with a slight change of tack I do wonder why some posters ask what are often quite detailed questions and when others take the time to give their answers the original poster does not even acknowledge the response with a 'Like' which again might merely be a generational or cultural thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Sorry. Just left a like. Couldn’t resist despite trying hard. Well not that hard 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherry268 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Also depends on where you are viewing it. Not always easy to write when you are phone but easy to like And I quite often view at work and can't write a comment If somebody has liked it at least they are acknowledging they have looked at it But I also agree with the comment regarding acknowledgement of information I'm sad enough to thank people when they send me an E mail with information and that is unusual 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinChipmunkfan Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 There can be any number of reasons why a person leaves a like or a comment. I frequently use both. The website is about being positive helpful and supportive so comments of encouragement and appreciation are fine, just as comments that add relevant technical or historical information or just some personal anecdote are fine. If someone has done a model really well why not offer congratulations. Especially in my case when I recognise it is better than anything I could produce. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cngaero Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I too use both. Each have their own place within the forum. Surely either is better that no acknowledgement at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
