i didnt found anything after using the searcher

Have you ever asked yourself what people think about your diaries? what if people could vote if they like it? well my suggestion is to add a voting system to diaries
here are some visual example:

option 1

Option 2

i don't see the use in this, since you can just post a feed about it asking people since if you have people reading your diary, they probably have you friended.

I'm voting no support for now for the following reasons:

1. It's possible not everyone would want people to vote on their diaries. Some of them might just be for recording their accomplishments on PH and are mostly for them alone (thus, the opinion of others doesn't matter). Some users might use them to vent out feelings or more personal matters and voting your opinion on them would not always be appropriate.

Therefore, this being an option you can enable or disable would be a must if you ask me.

2. Disliking is a very bad idea. I don't think anyone would like it very much if they vent out their bad day or gush about a good day in their diary and in comes someone to dislike it. I don't see this leading to anything but hurt feelings, especially on a site where we have a lot of young users. A dislike button would be a prime method for bullying/harassment as well.

In the end, I can see how a like (or a heart like in feeds) could let people know who reads their diary entries and be a nice thing to show support. I'd be indifferent to that. However, in my humble opinion, any form of disliking absolutely needs to go and enabling liking needs to be optional.

I voted it wouldn't affect me, but i'd say a solid no to this feature. The only way to avoid problems would be to make voting on ur diary optional, otherwise I think it would happen as Finhawk said. Solid no unless its optional.

I do not support.
Liking and disliking diaries could 'become war', and many rude messages might go around :<
'HAH! My diary has much more likes that yours, stupid, just delete it!'
'I'm so unpopular I don't have any likes, only dislikes... Just hate me I am such a loser :('
Liking diaries aren't really a problem, but disliking is the bit I don't like.

a smol TL;DR: just liking no disliking
