Ode for Patrick Latter *Like*
-
Dear Mr Latter
Just what is the matter?
You have such a nice, smiley face *Like*
Are you a bot?
But then, perhaps not.
And ‘spammer’ seems equally rude –
I withdraw the latter
(And ‘mad as a hatter’)
Don’t sue, Mr Latter, cool dude.
Perhaps if you read all the posts that you ‘Like’,
(And it does seem rather a lot)
We might not suspect
That you don’t really like
But just ‘Like’ in return for a hit.
Perhaps I’m too cynical
Is that what you think?
Please don’t go off in a huff.
It’s just that you seem to like everything under the sun including the kitchen sink, and posts about doughnuts and engineering.
– Sorry, that line didn’t scan
But I have a plan
(Should that be ‘idea’ in this thread?)
The next time your finger
Is tempted to linger
And you want to click 10,000 ‘Likes’
Spare a thought for us too
Especially those who’re new
And don’t raise our hopes oh so high.
Don’t follow our blogs and ‘Like’ every post
‘Cos we feel a bit used if you do.My other idea
(For staff now to hear)
Is to give us the power to block.
So please let us erase
All the ‘Likes’ we don’t like
And unfollow the follows as well.
Just a small task.
Is it too much to ask?
Here’s hoping…
And WordPress – you rock.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Oh, man this is great! This guy’s gonna become a WordPress legend — our very own Bigfoot or La Llorona!
And if there’s a petition in support of “Like” blocking, let me know where I can sign.

Hi wordwatch!
I love this approach to petition an opt-out option to the “Like” feature. May I share/tweet this?
Cheers!

No it is NOT cool. You know that and I’m asking you to stop the griever or troll behaviors and silly griever troll questions now.
-
Pardon me? You accuse me of being a troll, yet again?
What is your problem, I am responding to posts and trying to help.
Be careful If I were you.
-
This thread is not a support thread so claiming you were trying to help is not believable. You posted a griever troll question with an asinine He he and you didn’t expect to be responded to as if you were a griever troll. How odd.
-
First off
Lets just get back to facts here, before I wrote my He he comment, not that it matters really, You, yes, you accused me of being a troll, why?
Secondly, if you allow a poem or blog to be written here then surely it is fair game for others?
-
No, it’s not. That poem is actually in response to a technical support issue, so it belongs here. And it’s not publicizing the poster’s blog, it’s just addressing the issue of spam Likes.
If you want to publicize your blog, do it at http://bloggersunion.wordpress.com/2012/09/08/whats-your-latest-blog-post-about-i-have/ or your posts will be marked as spam and you’ll probably get a little enforced time-out from the forum.
