I'm not sure myself, as Staff didn't decide this (as far as I know), it happened with the upgrade. So I assume it includes such as informative, sad, etc. Only positive ratings are counted, such as like, heart, optimistic.

New Frubal?

Yes, but only if we add a slippery-slope frubal as well.
<yawn> yet another frubal </yawn>
The faithful have long imposed their
faith upon the unwilling.
The reverse is far far less the case.
But does it really matter?
If you guys want a religious sympathy frubal,
& oppose a secular one, it's fine by me.
We have plenty of furballs already.
I don't know about you, but my "wow," "sad," and "angry" frubals are neutral only because I keep a poker face while nonchalantly clicking them!
(I've never given an "angry" rating, though, mainly because it basically never matches how I actually feel.)
If you feel religion is being imposed on you on a forum called 'religious forums' I don't really know what to say.
Dang....they've become less useful to me.

I do not want to debate about the effectiveness of intercessory prayer. I would think that the more of us that could use this the better. As simply "praying for you" it could easily be used as a smug "I will pray for you" more often than a supporting one.
You needn't say anything.
I see RF as being far broader than
religion, nor is it only for believers.
The same argument happened on
The History Channel forums, ie,
it was less about history, & more
about religion & especially politics.
Labels of things seldom determine
what they are.
This has never been my position here. I never said I was opposed to a secular one, though I can understand how this could be inferred given my challenges to those that want a secular one and oppose a religious one.
My position based on the feedback in this thread is to have both a prayer frubal and a care/well wishes similar to the one @sun rise suggested in the thread.
I had to rate this post "useful," just because.
But its primary audience is religious people. I fail to see how that can be argued against, given the demographic here. Adding one religious rating for the majority of users hardly seems imposing, especially when one is not forced to use it.
I didn't say it was.
I wanted to indicate that it's no big deal.
That would be useful.
I've nothing to add.
If they added that, there'd be no limitYes, but only if we add a slippery-slope frubal as well.
to the number of arcane frubals added.
If I said "well, today I plan on going to the woods and wrestling a tiger to the ground" a religious person might say they'll pray for me. A secular person might say "I hope it goes well!" (well wishes)
(A sane person might try to talk me out of it, and an opportunist would shoot a video, but that's a topic for another thread.)
I won't be happy until the entire page is hidden by a frubal pop-up when I hover over the like button.
Great! Now we need a "can I watch?" frubal.
I'd sell tickets.
But I'd also bring a 1st aid kit because I care.
Good idea. we'll get that tiger patched up in no time.
