Ability to brohoof in Private Messages

[Lisa 5,553]

I was wondering if we could be granted the ability to brohoof private messages.

 

I would like this added because usually when I'm chatting with someone, and they bring up a good point, or just something I like/agree with, I want to brohoof their message as a sign of saying "Yes" or "okay" or something along those lines.

 

I believe it would just be faster, and another way for people to earn brohoofs (brohooves?).

 

 

Thank you, if this is implemented. c:

Nice idea. I've frequently wanted to brohoof some of the PMs I've been sent. Furthermore, this would also allow users to acknowledge a message in the event that there is nothing more to say, which helps to prevent the awkward conversation terminations that sometimes occur.

I'm against it. There could be potentially too much abuse with the brohoof system (spamming likes left and right in PMs (I can still remember we had a PM 1000 replies long)), and if moderators tried to check those who are spamming the likes/brohoofs, that'd be a privacy... abuse. While it may be an escape for "awkward conversations", in my oppinion, we need to embrace those awkward moments and somehow fix them, not avoid them by "brohoofing" a PM reply and leaving.

 

(and I'm curious, what's the point of gaining brohoofs faster?)

But then again,

One on one messaging doesn't have a character limit, so 'having nothing more to say' is rather irrelevant since you can just type a one word 'okay :)' or something. They're also private, which, as mentioned above, could raise issues all its' own. I'll be honest, I'm not seeing the point in this other than it being a 'Nice to have' little side project that would take very low priority, if it were considered. I personally don't think it's worth it.

I'm gonna have to agree with CD and Anonymous, I think it could possibly be abused even if it would be nice. However even then you can just say something simple in a PM and get the conversation ended or whatever needs doing anyways. Heck if you really wanted you could just go like *Brohoof*.

 

I think it would end up being a bit more trouble then its worth. So while its a cool and nice thing to have, it just has a bunch of extra risks and stuff involved that make it to risky I think.

Nice idea, I thought it would be cool to be able to brohoof through status updates and blogs as well.

It's a pretty good idea I guess. But I agree with @Anonymous~ on this one. It's a good idea but I personally, would much rather have the ability to brohoof status updates and status comments.

You could just have it so brohoofs in PM don't count towards anything, if that's even possible. Though I would personally prefer to have the ability to brohoof status updates and such before anything, as the others have mentioned. Just my thoughts
