Overuse of the Like button.

Some folks use it as a read/unread check mark it seems…like.

Did the forum every use a hosting software with chiclets? That gets super fun!

Plot twist: OP did this to boost his reactions count.

One of you clever Poindexters with computer skills needs to create a bot that goes through all topics on Bladeforums and "likes" every message.

Lets just have a "Like All" button!

Me in any thread with lots of pics

Maybe I’m just getting old and pedantic, but ........
Why do members go through a thread and hit the Like button on every post .
In my opinion it devalues the whole idea of the “Like” button .
Maybe there should be an “Appreciation and Thanks for Contributing “ button because that is what the “Like” seems to have turned into .

Depends on the thread. In a pic heavy thread when I like the knife and appreciate good photography I must 'reward' the poster as a form of positive feedback. In a discussion thread I 'like' to express my agreement. That's still better than writing a "me too" post.

I'd prefer a "Like Al" button...
So that, regardless of what's being discussed, you can remind people who the real star of "Home Improvement" was.

"That's a well composed photo of a very nice knife."..... "Why, thank you very much for that compliment, my good sir, and you, as well, display a most handsome knife on this day."..... "Thank you, my friend."

Like/reciprocal like.

We wouldn't want to be too warm and friendly, right?
"Likes" keep things from getting too... touchy feely.

This is also healthy when dealing with close proximity work place associates.

Yeah. I do that. If I read it but don't have anything to add

I can see both sides on the subject. Before the "like" option there were a few complaints that the What Traditional Are You Toting Today thread was too full of the same dozen people complimenting each other back and forth. On the other hand, that's kinda what that thread is for.
Now, someone's complaining about too much like button pushing. It's easy enough to just ignore that if one finds it annoying.

Not a chance if it's a photo of a Chinese knife.

This thread is one of the funniest I've read in a long while and I "liked" it. Thank you all for letting me "like" all your posts. Please have a "likable" rest of your day.
