REQUEST: Option for "Likes" as there is for "Rating" (or convert rating to likes)
I've noticed the downloads "Rating" is hardly ever used. Not sure if this is true for others but with hundreds of downloads daily on my site I'm still not seeing much use of it.
I know myself I was a little confused by the use of "Rating" as the name for the option. When I think "Rating" I think of a number between 1-10. When in actuality the option is more of a "Like / Dislike" option. Users are very familiar with the term "Like" and are use to seeing it and using it online. I tried to just rename "rating" phrases to "likes" hoping to get more users to use the option. It works to a point but currently the actual way the option buttons work doesn't exactly support a "Likes" system but I'm sure it could with a few small changes.
My request is to add support for a "Likes" system. I personally would just like to see users able to select the like option (as they can currently for rating). I don't see the need to support a dislike (ability to negate another users like) but others might. Once a user selects like (+) allow them to unlike (-) the download. Very similar to what the "Rating" options is currently doing but I think with the slight change it would be an option that is used more.
Not sure if you would be more interested in converting the current "Rating" option or adding a completely new "Like" option.
