"Likes" or "Points" or members
I'd like to offer a suggestion...How about having some sort of "points" for members ? I've seen it in other forums where other members can like other member's posts...Kind of like an appreciation for a post (rather than having to make a reply which can clog up space)...There have been many threads that I have read through as an observer where I would have liked to "like" or "give credit" to some posts which I could not...I would have like to let that person know my apprecciation rather than interrupting the thread with a message for that....Just my 2 cents...thanks, RB

Hmmm... I've been quoted a bunch of times, and mentioned a bunch of times (have the numbers been reset sometime?)
I take those Facebook style "likes" with a grain of salt. Actually, I try to shut off Facebook whenever possible.
Comments are nice (beyond the occasional +1)

Another site uses "reps" instead of likes or points....similar I guess.

Likes ... yes. I wish they'd include them.
Points ... no.

I dunno.
Have a look at the Yahoo answers site.
There, it seems like ”shooting the messenger” is VERY common.
Are we sure we are a so much nicer bunch here?

"Likes" or "Points" [for] members
Apropos of this thread, I once started a now-closed thread, “Bike Forums Hall of Fame.”
Not to nominate myself, or render a self-proposed ”like,” but I have posted on another now-closed thread:
I thought it would be nice to know, by popular acclaim, just who are the most savvy, knowledgeable, and reliable subscribers to Bike Forums.
After about 10 years here I have my preferences (and my own choices for the ones I consider “pills,” who are nonetheless fun to read).
I'd like to offer a suggestion...How about having some sort of "points" for members ? I've seen it in other forums where other members can like other member's posts...Kind of like an appreciation for a post (rather than having to make a reply which can clog up space)...
There have been many threads that I have read through as an observer where I would have liked to "like" or "give credit" to some posts which I could not...I would have like to let that person know my apprecciation rather than interrupting the thread with a message for that....Just my 2 cents...thanks,

Head over to MFP and see what they've got in their forum. Evidently they can change their "like" options to several different things. One of their choices is a little questionable (no one seems sure what it means) but others aren't bad.
