Have disabled the “Like” comments feature, after previously trying it with Like/Dislike, then disabling Dislike. Few were using it; bit of a waste of time for a site like this I suspect.
Like or dislike a comment? Leave an actual response instead!

Do not like (or dislike)

Glad to see you came around :). Ah well, we don’t learn anything without expermenting first hey.
Like it!
It was worth a try but I really found no urge to bother rating other’s comments.
Better off without it, better to show your opinion by making a comment about it! On the same track, does anyone ever “grade” videos or articles on other sites with the star system? Never bothered with that either, myself!!
Like.
Dislike. Although they were a little clunky looking.
I find the concept of like/dislike way too simplistic to be useful.
I may disagree with your comment, but find it highly entertaining so I read it anyway. (Much of what Jeremy Clarkson writes would fall into that category.) So is that “like” or “dislike”? I’d say it deserves a “like”. But if I rate your comment with a “like”, would you then infer from my rating that I agree with you?
If we must have one-click ratings for the lazy or time-poor, rather than comments, then let’s have two types of ratings per comment: “Agree? Y/N” and “Entertained? Y/N”. But then, what if I only partly agree with you? Yes/no is still too simplistic…
All in all, I’d rather respond with a comment.
