I also agree that forum admins should put more focus on the "like" feature and less focus on post counts. Another example of this is the medals displayed by character's names now. These too are tied to post count which is redundant because the post count is already displayed in the same area. A better idea would be to award medals based on "likes" recieved.

The "like" feature is much more difficult to abuse and is generally a better indicator of post and poster quality than post count.
