The vb Org Like System

[New Joe]

So why is it set up like this:

You must 'Like' someone else's post before liking any more by **username**

It's a free world, let us spread our love the way we want it and not be limited...
Thanks...

I just got:

"You must 'Like' someone else's post before liking any more by New Joe"

Hear Hear.

This is the problem, I don't want to be limited, if i like someones post I want to like them, a few time today I wanted to like a few members but got that silly message.

I also don't see the point in liking random posts which I don't really want to like just so I can like the other person I wanted to like,,,,

Doh!

IIRC, that is because the Likes system on here, actually is adding to the reputation.

but was does the rep system do it does not give anyone extra permissions

Nope, it's just a status thing.

Yeah, I brought this up recently, too. I always thought that was kinda odd to have it limited that way. I could understand if our Like statuses were tallied and displayed in some way, but all we seem to get is a list of the last ten Likes received and given on our profile. Like's aren't used as form of status on any website I know of, so it feels a little counterintuitive to the premise to have it that way here.

Your total likes are shown when you click on the username. I don't know how you would use them as a form of status though. I guess you could have bars like you do for regular reputation.

I never even noticed that.
