Hi,

Small feature which I think would be kinda cool. Liking a run, very similar to liking a forum post. Not on the leaderboards itself of course, but after clicking on a run. Example:

'Submitted by X' 'Verified by Y' 'Liked by n players'

Cheers :)

I think that this has been discussed before, and I believe that it was decided that people could just tell the runner on Twitch or somewhere that they liked their run. Meanwhile, site coders/staff could focus more on things that might take preference or be more necessary to the site. cough cough message system cough cough

I agree that there are more important and impactful features under development.

Doesn't mean a like button isn't a good idea. Just means it's a low priority idea.

I love the idea of positivity through likes.

The practical result of this will be that the only runs that get a substantial number of likes are the WR runs, which will reinforce the idea in the minds of many that their runs aren't worth anything if they're not WR.

I think this would actually have a net negative impact on the community.

I must agree with JayJane4 and Drakodan and many things others have said. I must add though, the runs are connected to sites that already have that stuff. For example, most runs are from YouTube, which already has a like button. So adding one to speedrun.com wouldn't make much sense. I still don't see why not though!

I think a like button for runs would be harmless, unlike a comments system tied to runs.
