That sounds like a cool idea, but I wouldn't like it if it were like Reddit where the best liked posts are at the top.

I wouldn't like that either. But if you couldd just like it that would be swell

Agreed.

I also wouldn't like it if there was a total score for each individual poster, posts should be judged on their own merits.

Forever and a day ago (long before Reddit was a thing), someone suggested they should tie an approval system here to karma, so if a user gets a set number of likes they gain extra karma from it. But while that's an interesting idea in theory, it's sort of ruined by the fact that karma is absolutely meaningless anyway.

That only works if there is no downvote button.

When anonymous downvoting is a thing it's just stupid. I'm not here to make people happy damn it.

Depends what was said. I wouldn't like your posts just for the sake of it and certainly wouldn't play favourites. Liking is serious business.

There is a case to be made for likes promoting groupthink/circlejerk thoughts which are so prevalent on reddit. That said, I'd be fine if the criteria were like this:

A.) No dislike button
B.) You can see who likes what
--Also possible, but not necessary: Seeing a user's "active likes" on their profile, akin to active posts.
C.) Number of likes does not affect post order
D.) Limited number of likes per 24 hours. Maybe 5 or 10? Something small though. You want to make them count.

tbh, I can't see how anybody would actually want that given the clique-ish and vapid nature of those systems.

Your dislike button is just you hoping to win arguments by not replying and hoping the other party forgets

Amen. I don't think we need to copy off Reddit, in this aspect. And besides, when this idea was considered on the board Site Suggestions and also (now defunct) The Future of GameFAQs, it's repeatedly been rejected. I still think this isn't something that should be adopted for the message boards here, and my view hasn't changed.

This right here. It's what makes places like Imgur an overwhelming haven of bigotry. Where any idea that doesn't conform gets shut down immediately. At least with Reddit and Youtube the individual subreddits and videos can cater to different ideas and communities. And Youtube's dislike button is nonfunctional which actually helps as well.

There are plenty of people here with terrible opinions, but I'm still happy that they all have a somewhat equal voice.
