    Social media has altered the minds of the minions to make them think "like" buttons are an accurate indicator of value or worth when the opposite tends to be the case.

    I’d argue that a supercilious attitude is more of an issue on the forums compared to reaction buttons.

    People are using these buttons to determine their self worth and their contributions when the opposite is generally the case.

    People need to get off the social media mindset and just have a discussion that stands on it's own merits.
    ...
    Educate yourself, don't determine your worth based on "likes" or "agrees".

    Did you address that last sentence at me?
    If yes, why do you think you have any frelling idea what I "determine my worth" on?
    If no, then who exactly do you mean? Do you know the people posting here so well?
    If you're not talking to anyone specifically, it might help to word your posts like that.
    Because the way you write this, it sounds like you're seeing yourself as my self-appointed (and self-righteous) therapist / preacher. Which you are definitely and emphatically not.

    No thanks. Let's not have another YouTube removing the dislikes button scenario here, please. A forum is a place for public opinion, for better or worse, and reactions are a part of that.

    Plot twist,

    OP made post to gain rank approval by others.

    No. Try reading my posts. There is a valid reason for the request.

    Social media has altered the minds of the minions to make them think "like" buttons are an accurate indicator of value or worth when the opposite tends to be the case.

    Which demonstrates they have a value even if that value does not have a true measurement. As such they are likely to remain and not cause an actual problem.

    why... not just make it more friendly to the public and let everyone know about it,, beacuse there is alot people confussed about things.. and these forms are for the game.. so why not let people join.. and let them have own thoughts and feelings on things,, people want to change and dettroy things,, well change it like a character Facebook lol

    What is needed is a return of the Disagree button, and a rep system so that posts with silly opinions can be downvoted to Oblivion.

    That would be fine if users can delete their own posts.
    But at that point id ask myself , why not use reddit instead.

    I was initially going to post "meh" as that has the merit of a wet fart in a discussion, but then I took the time to read this entire diatribe, from beginning to end, evaluate all the statements made in support and against the idea, and deduced that adding a substantial post of some merit would only help to further the idea that this issue matters in any way, shape or form.

    Meh.
