Are likes really that impressive in this era?

[Dan]

You look around in the current climate and there a dime a dozen now. Cribb's filling his boots, Athlai seems to get one every post, *****'s having a ball, Jono gets a few having been dropped from Cricket Chat three times!!.. Spark in this current series vs Blocky, Heef has a few in absentia...a youngster like Moss has twenty three in eleven posts and what can be said about that like fest in CC when everyone ripped into WW's weird theories?!!

I wonder if there will soon come a time when a like will become the new AWTA? because it just seems to be far too easy for posters these days.

Hehe. I just tried to make a similar joke in the real thread.

TBF I give a lot of likes so I believe that has inflated the average like-rate a decent amount.

Some posters are definitely flat-track bullies when it comes to likes.

 

[cnerd123]

Likes against WW and Blocky should be discounted from statistical discussions IMO.

 

[sledger]

Should adopt a first like average theory imo.

 

[Cabinet96]

The India in Australia tour thread has over 1,700 likes. Flat track bullying by all involved.

 

[cnerd123]

Should likes scored by posters while they are still teenagers count for more, considering many posters aren't even good enough to debut at that same age? What about for the older posters who have peaked at the age when normal posters retire? Do you hold it against a poster for retiring at their peak instead of playing through the eventual decline (ex - Benchmark).

 

[Cabinet96]

We shouldn't reward members who debuted post like introduction simply for having better posts to likes ratios. It would be wrong to hold it against members who were toiling away for years making quality posts without getting the recognition they deserve.

I think we have to arrive at a system to segregate likes from people of the same country as the poster and away posters. Too many home town heroes filling their boots itbt.

I mean when you are from a country like South Africa, with it's green pitches, hot babes and lack of posters, you end up getting far less home likes than anyone else simply because you're batting at the toughest place in the world and there are no home posters to like your posts, this needs to be addressed.

It's so appropriate that many Indian posters leak likes for free no matter who the opposition is and a poster from the breezy archipelago can't score likes to save his life.

Have the mods discovered any evidence of like for like agreements yet - if so what level of infraction will like-fixing be?

 

[GIMH]

I hold the record for giving out likes to pre-like era posts and I'm pretty proud of that.

 

[sledger]

Not received any of those for a while. Sort yourself out.

 

[GIMH]

Me not being alone in a foreign country with stacks of time to kill will do that

BeeGee is the Ishant Sharma of likes.

Typical shandy-drinker cop out, imo.

 

[cpr]

The problem for some of us is that although we get off to a good start, converting the into the likes is tough, and the halves aren't recorded anywhere

 

[Daemon]

New Zealanders definitely should have an asterisk next to their likes imo. How can the likes of Flem have over a thousand likes?

On a much happier note, I've just realised I'm pretty close to that milestone myself and in all likelihood I'll reach there in the next week or so. Wonder how I'm going to celebrate.

we need to implement a likesguru so we can get all the stats. home and away records, who they score likes from and against, thread situation etc
