celebrating a member
I dont think this should be a feature.
I have read the comment that was noted by the person of the username and to be honest
there were a few comments that were 'responsive' and 'supportive'. I would go as far
to say 2 comments were written to express they had 'been' in the situation, which is hard
for many to say.
If it remains a 'feature' I think it should be directed to 'information' a person contributes
eg. articles, titles of books, links to sites, health information etc
Dont get me wrong. I'm not moaning because a person was celebrated. I just thought that there are many comments on this forum where contributors are empathetic, informative and sincere.
Perhaps a feature where there are 2 icons with warm symbols or warm smiles or something
that people can click to show what they think if they don't want to comment. The 'Like' icon is kind
of ambiguous. It might not be cost effective with website fee's and all but just a thought.
A icon for - validation, courage, support, hearing you...Oh I dunno the list is endless but if it is feasible and cost effective 'throw it out' into public space to gauge response.
I've not been here long so perhaps there may be a day allotted to 'celebrate' the work of moderators, community guides that we see on the forum. Commods day (silly pun there if you know the word) tho may not be appropriate because of what the real word means...its a silly wordy word is all. Where contributors can acknowledge the good work they do.
