Society is moving in the wrong direction anyway. "Buttons" are part of this. Interaction, the human element in general, is already too often reduced to "being liked" or not – with a simple click. I consider this "self-expression", the  reduction to feelings, to be really harmful. There should be no place for ratings in a forum like this. Good conversations and appreciative interaction will not come about through evaluations and a supposedly increased sense of self-worth ascribed by others. I find buttons seriously socio-politically dangerous and have therefore never used them. I would be delighted if the forum could do without them again in future.

A like button or flag doesnt mean evaluation in general.

As a moderator I had readed ALL the forum twice. First time without the Like flag sorting everything as DieHard requested. And after that spent weeks giving likes to every post that were useful, leads to something or is innovative in its info or informative in a good way.

I would be terrible dissapointed if the like button isnt implemented again. Knezzen promised that would try to implement it almost since the begining of my cry. And now ask for your validation.

I beg every user that sees the like button as the evil to consider just Ignore the button if you consider it harmfull (to you).

There is no "Dislike" button. I would consider it harmfull. But a Like flag here doesnt mean the same harmfull thing that on FB or Insta.

Please try to see the like button with new Eyes and without toxic connotations

On the other hand, having "Like" button and at the same time having no likes below your post is even more demotivating - why post if nobody likes it? Keep the information for yourself and your mouth shut. Or better go elsewhere.. 

If I had a "working" Like button...

 proper manners and making an intelligent question or curious discovery ensures a like from 3 or 4 users within hours.

You have to really screw a conversation to have no likes.

Love it!.

Now that is your second software or app maybe you could make a post about your develop environment or the limits of RealBasic 3.5.2 in porting free/leaked  software.

Example: I said something interesting  (to me) in my post, but aBc explained his thoughts more deeply than I.

Postíng " I agree with you aBc" takes one more reply to this post and a reader has to go further down to follów the real conversation. A like button would had made this threath shorter and more concise. And the like button would make this same reply  unnecesary.
