Liked for satirical purposes, again!

It serves my damn need to let people know their thoughts made me laugh, but, like all other aspects of Internet culture, it's most-effectively used for evil.

Why would anyone have a problem with liking posts here?? I don't get it, it doesn't stand out and I think it creates a better community to an extent.
There have been many times where I would have liked to hit a like button for someones post - glad to see it's here now.

You can disable "Likes" notifications in your User CP, under "Edit Options"

That said, it makes a forum like this feel more lively. Most people it seems use reddit and specific forums like this don't seem to be quite as popular. Maybe I'm wrong but that's how I perceive it. Plus, virtually everyone discusses serious issues on Twitter despite the character count limitation. Probably because they have "likes" and it's more connected. So having this feature makes it a little more competitive with other social media out there. And I agree, it's best not to have it in the Politics sub-forum.

But yes, I also had that in mind when I thinking over the pros/cons of the "like" button. I hate going into a bumped thread only to see "this" as a post. One more benefit for the like button.
