The conversation has begun on the introduction of likes to ASF.I can see Annes point - to an extent. What it does do, IMO is create a incentive for people to get likes and ticks. Frankly that is just human. Rewarding good behaviour in a classroom. Acknowledging someones good idea or hard work in a project. Encouraging a friend who is having a bumpy time for whatever reason. They are all human ways of encouraging others.What I have seen elsewhere, which might be considered, is changing "like" to "respect" . I suggest it can work as well and takes in the comments made by other posters recognising they use likes to acknowledge the thought people have put into posts or their willingness to post on a topic even if they don't necessarily agree.______________________PS There can certainly be a downside to wanting likes. Dark, nasty forums can encourage and reward people for being more and more nasty as well as nice.
