Minuses Be Gone!
...because the world is better with a little less negativity.
Starting now, Unity Forums and later Dolphin Forums will no longer have "minus" button. Instead, there's only a "like" button (sounds familiar? ;) ) and "bury" link. The "bury" link hides the post for the viewer, but doesn't affect the post's total score. So, the idea is: don't like it? - skip it. Report link is still there of course, but it won't affect the total score either.
Oh, and the same is planned for every other piece of content around here. Like it or not, you'd have to either like it, or skip it.
Why?
Many social networking gorillas figured it out some time ago... Negative votes are useless - they either feed trolls or discourage good posters. They do no good. Facebook doesn't have "dislike", Digg doesn't have "undigg", and most of the commenting system now dropped minuses for good.
We clearly realised how evil minuses are when we found some "contestants" of our Birthday Competition voting-down their rivals. Sheer disgrace.
And...
we nulled all "minuses" for Unity Forums. Something similar will soon happen with comments, and posts.
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.
if this going to be add on the new forum for Dolphin 7.0.3
See, how bad they are.

2. The "how to build a Facebook clone" is like a workshop. You're not supposed to build a Facebook clone, but you're offered a structured tutorial on how to transform your site and utilise Dolphin package and Unity extensions to reach your goal.
I haven't found any registered trademark for "Like" but that doesn't mean that Facebook hasn't listed it as see more
However, they list their trademarks on their terms of service. You can also find the scope of the trademark "Wall" at the www.uspto.gov.
My concern is that site owners have a lot invested in this product. The more anyone adds similar terminiology or functions the possibility that they can be pursued by Facebook as they become more and more aggressive in pursuit of intellectual property infringement.
I'm not sure if anyone here has the money to show a see more
Rather see more
