Purpose of "Like" button

Without a contrasting dislike button, it really holds no purpose, in my opinion.

Dislike buttons frequently get used just for the sake of trolling.

Likes don't mean all that much either unless you see the Like count getting into the dozens if not hundreds. Even then, it's better for others to express why they agree (or disagree) in a reply.

In other forums, I usually consider like buttons a nuisance, especially in the WoW forum where it's needed to unlock certain privileges.

But in this forum, with its daily post limits, it's a nice way to say you like a post without wasting one of your daily posts if you don't have anything to add to that post.

To show agreement to a post...

I disagree. I feel like a dislike button would be very well utilized here.

The one poster had it right about Likes - it's used as an indicator to report to the devs as to which posts they should look at. a post in a thread with a great number of likes will hit their radar.

I wish more people would use them.
Instead of just silently agreeing with something they agree with, they’d rather voice it in their own words which essentially doesn’t actually help the feedback.

It has no purpose, much like these forums in general.

The same exact purpose It has on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and many other places. Nothing important
