    Likes, I have never seen so many likes. I'm not complaining bit it seems like every post every person makes gets liked by a certain set of people. The only thing I see as an issue is that I've seen servers on other sites start to run slow as a result of all the peripheral traffic aside from normal postings, and it gets hard to find which threads have replies when sifting through all of the likes in the alerts. On other sites I have witnessed the moderators ask members to limit likes to things that have really good content or outstanding advice...

    I'm not at all saying what should be done, just what my experience has been on other forums/boards.

    Thanks for reading.

    You can go to alert preferences and disable being notified of likes. That's what I did.

    I liked your post...just because it was about "likes" :)

    Actually the only concern I would have is if people get worried about not being "liked" and stop posting over something so petty. But if you get your feelings bent out of shape over that I think you have bigger issues.

    I really don't think this site will have any issues like that. We are pretty laid back...it's not my call but I say "like" away!

    Quite often I hit the like button instead of writing a reply that doesn't add much to the thread.
