I think you're spot on with this, it's beyond annoying. If you visit the sub forums for DPS for example, I seeing likes being used in there as I expect was intended, to signal what is a good post and one that most people agree with, whilst other posts maybe get a like or two. This is how it should be, not everyone vying for likes because their ego demands it.

I've been around for awhile now, I don't post often. The amount of people I have seen go from being prominent forum posters to ghosts is quite sad and part of the reason they've gone is plainly because of how this forum functions. Good debates get ruined by people who want to post snarky comments and add nothing of value to a thread.

The other thing is peoples inability to argue their views without all hell breaking loose and it getting real nasty, real fast. There's lots of straw manning, lies and disingenuous comments being flung around constantly. The moderation of this forum is really lacking and it could do with a clean up and more active moderation honestly.
