On Dai Davies saidNot as extensive a proposal in this post as in those above, but a simple (?) suggestion of likes/approval for posts. You see this on most sites. It also makes the site look busier as it shows that people are looking at posts!
Like 🙂 I agree, not everybody wants to make new posts with or without quoting the OP to show their approval or appreciation of a contribution.
I note that the S4S forum also seems to lack likes. I cannot think people on either would be motivated to post ‘clickbait’ so do not really see a reason why likes are omitted.
