after thinking about it some more, I wouldn't mind it really. As long as it's discrete and you can see who liked what comment. This would prevent any reckless liking.

You do realized I dropped it after Kantor clarified, right? (you even quoted my post) and then I said my opinion stands by my first reason. Ill bold and underline. So, what are you going on about? Trolling with a "like" button?

Well we'll have to chalk this whole thing up to a misunderstanding. When you said that you stood by your first reason, I thought you meant the "it will only encourage attention whoring, and trolling" part as your first reason. And I thought to myself, how can one troll with a like button.

But since you only meant the attention whoring this whole debate is invalid.

How can the mod team be divided? I thought there was only, like, 4 mods? O.o

I voted in favour of the like button. Perhaps a system to promote to the front page the most upvoted posts would be nice as well. But like buttons do encourage conversation, and it encourages people who put work into something, or trying something new. No dislike button, though. That's a good plan.

Any group of people can be divided, no matter how small.

There are seven mods.

Very true. But, like you, I see no real cons, so long as it doesn't turn into a like-fest. 

And 7 mods? I only see you, Montanahatchet, Barozi and Torillian active. And Machina left, so he doesn't do it anymore.

Really can't think of the other three. Is that bad? Don't think so...

Twesterm, sega4life, and (the boss) axumblade.

How could I forget axumblade? *facepalm*

But Twesterm isn't that active anymore, and I can't remember sega4life. The current mod team is pretty good, though, so you must be doing something right!

Yes, I remember now
