testusering

Hello

I noticed that you could like his own comment. Is this normal? How to avoid this?

Thank you

testusering Facebook-like behavior, I always assumed in a like system, you can like your own post. If you don't want a user to like their own post, you would have to create an extension that has this functionality.

Ralkage or fork the Likes extension to add the restriction. You could also submit a PR to add the feature.

I mentioned this before. Only funny people like their own posts. This isn't really important until a respect extension is generated. Maybe if the money extension counted likes as money, but I believe it only gives credit to posts and replys.

I wish there was a dislike button. I believe the Like feature is to prevent people spamming threads with 'thank you' posts. It aught to be called thanks instead of likes, because the majority the people that reply also tend to like the post they reply to.

A dislike button would probly encourage OP to ask why user disliked it, but would also help noobs figure out what they did wrong ;( before people like freddy, reamed them with a 4 paragraph thrashing) without having it explained to them.

0E800 A Facebook or Github-like "reactions" extension would be useful. I believe there's a GH issue for it, started by yours truly, and both myself and @datitisev attempted to make one. He got further than I did, until we realized the Flarum extension needed a total rewrite to handle the multiple states.
