Currently no thumbs down though Len so I'm sure Afka and Lookie have thought about that and I don't think the idea is to ask posters to leave if they don't get enough thumbs up...hope not anyway or me and you might be in trouble.LenGlover said:Facebook et al are closed books to me but, unless I've got it wildly wrong, I can see potential for "ganging up" on individual posters by a tag team of opponents.
If oofing people off the forum is to be based on such criteria then diversity of opinion could quickly disappear down the tube.0 -

Just like 20+ years ago.1 -
I'm worried that there is now a "Best of..." section - isn't that something bands do before they break up ?0

No strong feelings about the system yet. Only thing I will say is that flicking down on a smart phone it is very easy to hit one of the new icons by mistake.0

In my younger and more vulnerable years I was probably one of the worst when it came to making provocative posts just to get a response. So I’m 100% behind this change. I “like” it.0

Not sure I like the "sponsored by" adverts appearing every few posts - but assume the site earns money for doing that?2

What's a promote? Got one for the Reading match thread so is it like a sticky?0

hi @cafc-west. was going to mention it once i got to work.cafc-west said:Not sure I like the "sponsored by" adverts appearing every few posts - but assume the site earns money for doing that?
These are independent from the Reactions, just when making changes we thought we'd roll them out at the same time.
We said last year that the costs of running the site was getting ridiculous and running into thousands a year now, so we've been looking into ways to try and reduce / cover that. We have held off on this for as long as possible but can't really anymore. We'll soon be providing a way users can make a donation to running costs if they wish, and we'll trial the ads and hope that this doesn't negatively impact on your experience of the site too heavily, if much at all.
We'll be monitoring effectiveness, tweaking frequency / position etc, and seeking feedback, but ads on the web are something people are a lot more used to than when we started 7 years ago, so am hopeful they won't be an issue. Whether they'll be any good is another matter !
Just as a reassurance, this is a credited Google programme so you'll never click through to anything dodgy!
Cheers all0 -
Cheers for the feedback and makes sense to contribute to the ever increasing costs. What I'd suggest is what a lot of the apps providers offer, i.e. pay an annual subscription to CL for, say £5.00 per year, and get an ad-free experience.AFKABartram said:

That was the first approach we wanted to take (though with the likely take up, i doubt we would cover costs at that level).
However, its not as straight forward in effectively splitting the site (ads for some, not for others) as we would have hoped and will take some development work, which we'll look to do some point next year (depending on finances!)
It definitely remains high on the options list though0
