Interesting perspectives. I wonder what the rest of the regular members think.

It's an efficient way to show support of an idea when you have nothing to say but "I agree". Some are more verbose than others and probably enjoy writing it out long form.
If you're putting in a like button, how about adding a turd emoji button for someone writing bs. >:D

Like buttons don't come with a requirement for use. It doesn't seem to me like the layout is too cluttered and they won't fit.

Out of the thousands of posts/comments I've read there have only been a handful (<15) that I actually wished there had been a like button. The LIKE icon that was briefly displayed was pretty ugly and detracting to be honest. It kinda grated on my nerves....visually speaking. The Thumbs Up or Down icons are a bit more subtle, especially in a gray or translucent color to fit the color skin of the forum.
The one obvious advantage to a Like option on a post is that a reader can use that means to offer their support or acknowledgement to a comment that won't trigger the message thread to be reposted in the Recent Topics column like what happens if you actually create a reply with even just a +1 or ^^^what he said comment.
I do a fair amount of revisiting a thread when it was posted as new, i.e. changed, but find only a sideline support comment added that didn't contribute to its message value for me.
Just my 2¢
