Why is it some threads do not seem to have the “like” feature available. . .

And yet when you go through the thread, some comments do have a “thumbs up” or “like” posted by other members?
 
It’s not in the exchange. And I also thought it had something to do with it maybe being just the mods but some of the likes are from regular members not mods.
 
I just noticed this in the feedback section and looking back I think it's all mods that are leaving thumbs up and similar. I'm not envious or anything but I guess now that it's pointed out I'm curious why we can't leave a thumbs up or whatever if you're still free to comment??? You can burp but you better not fart... 🤷‍♂️
 
Some threads that have been moved from one location to another may have likes transferred with the posts. There are a few different reasons why likes may or not be available in posts in different locations.

I’m only asking out of curiosity, really don’t care about it one way or the other. . .

Never thought of that. That makes sense, thanks. . .

Because we can remove a post, but we have to get the member to remove an emoji...or threaten them with bodily harm if they don't.

(Not to be taken too literally.)
 
I think sellers were complaining that readers would post silly emojis in their threads, affecting sales.
Let's say you post a thread selling a Buck 110 for $600, and you get everybody posting shocked or laughing emojis, basically saying you are asking too much, without actually typing this and practically ignoring the no comments in the for sale threads rule.

Makes sense and yet I get both points of view.

I believe that is part of the reason. The reactions were disabled in the knife maker for sale section as well, and a few makers said they felt reactions should be kept in that section. They were resinstated there.

I’m aware of the reasoning behind it in the sales section. As I said before I wasn’t talking about a sales thread. It’s in the feedback section - kind of ironic now that I think about it. . . 😂

Irony is a violation of the terms of service....or a visit to the cooler will be in store.

Good Bad & Ugly is part of the Exchange section.
