Like button for forum?
pwhodges:
I am not writing this; the option I have available is a single "Like" button. I can choose whether to show the count only on the posts which are liked, or also to show each user's likes in their profile, or next to all their posts. I would only consider the first, because scoring people is the possibly harmful usage.
lepetitfromage:
I'm a fan of putting a "like" button next to each post and only showing the likes on that particular post. I've also had a number of instances where I've wanted to let the poster know that I support them but did not have anything of value to add to the conversation (also, a lot of times I will see that the conversation moved on and I didn't feel the need to revert back to it simply to add a "me too").
I agree that the scoring isn't helpful in any way and neither is keeping track of each members' likes.
bhtooefr:
And showing the likes on the post only is, IMO, the reasonable way to go.
Omega Entity:
Agreed with the above. There's no legitimate use for an ongoing tally. All I'd want is the notice on the post itself.

And this is an excellent example of just that. Since I only look in once or twice a day (soon to drop off again) I'd "like" to be able to acknowledge a comment without derailing.
It's starting to sound like we've reached a consensus, but it's ultimately an admin decision, of course.
