This forum is better than the official forum in a few different ways, but I am surprised there is no like button for posts.

Why would we want a like button? People will just ignore the unliked and unpopular opinions and skip half the thread before posting, will just diminish quality (hah) more.

That doesn't seem to be a problem at all in the official forum, liked comments wouldn't be pushed to the top or anything. I guess its just instinctual for me to want to show I agree with a post.

+1

Is anyone else seeing the irony in this?

A like button removes the need for posts like this that express approval but don't say anything else and just take up space.

I'd rather have proper ignore button.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

+1 for the like.
there are numerous likes I do not express, simply in order to not spam the forum.

being liked is nice after all.

Yeah you can already post a +1 on someone's thread, that's close enough to a like. Besides, this isn't Facebook

While everyone else is going +1 or no need I feel like I should a decent explanation why.

Ultimately ideas should be evaluated for what they are rather than their popularity. Popularity contests have their place, but a lot of the things talked about here are better dealt with objectively than subjectively.

I think most of us know that "liking" a post is open to abuse. Whilst posters avidly pursue Axis/Allied 'fanboi' clubs, I am not in favour of this additional sparring tool

This is not a beauty parade- not with you uglies, anyway.
