I agree. Get rid of the like button. Superfluous nonsense. It adds nothing of substance to the boards

I sure hope none of you ever made a "+1" post. Should I go go through your post history and check? :baiting:

At the moment, I'm neutral on the "like" button.

+1 is a quick and easy way to put my 2c in and say "I agree with this". 

 

I havent tested it out, but I don't see names attached to the likes. Seems rather pointless to me. I have no problem with it, though. But I WOULD like a dislike button to balance things out. Otherwise, every thread becomes a knob slobbing fest.

I just don't like it because it adds just even MORE stuff and text to an already busy design. 

Now you have the post, Like This, Quote, Sig Lines. 

If they keep it, there should be an option to turn it off if you don't want to see it. 2c

That sounds fair (thumbsu  Maybe add an option to hide it in the same settings area where you can turn sigs on/off?

Don't like it, don't use it? (shrug)  How many posts don't add substance around here...just sayin'

Maybe we should be looking to add substance to the boards, not Facebook-like nonsense. (shrug) 

Oh boy, look at me, I liked a post. That really brings my day and life into focus.

It's really meaningless.

And it's visually the most prominent thing in the entire quote box area.

This is like an attempt at Facebook junior, which really isn't a good thing.

The Like button notifies your Facebook friends of a post. In this format does it do anything?

I can see CGC keeping it if they are looking to monetize it somehow. Not sure how they'd do that at this point though.
