I'd just like the email notifications to work again.
One alternative would be to leave it as it is. People 'don't see what's wrong' with a 'like' system, but what would the point of it be?I agree. While this May amount to a popularity contest a positive-only system would work better than any alternative.
How the hell is a bunch of people saying "yeah dude, tell em" less circlejerky than "this post was liked by 3 people" ?? Those posts are a useless waste of space. Likes allow you to show your agreement and appreciation without cluttering the thread.All vote systems do is lead to circlejerks.
If you really think someone made a good contribution make a text post telling them.

EXCUSE ME?Im not sure if a post in OT could ever be labelled a "good contribution".
How is liking someone's mod or guide a circlejerkI was thinking of posts more outside of OT, like good explanations of how to mod things, or someone posting some sort of guide. Im not sure if a post in OT could ever be labelled a "good contribution".
