it doesnt really matter at all at the end of the day, i dont see whats the point of removing, more cons than pros

I somewhat agree with this, it will help with people not making alts to boost the status. But sadly:

I’ve come back in support of this. I’ve had 3 of my posts get the same amount of likes, with most every person liking it being a visitor.

How did you get a custom background for the devforums? I am unable to get that
I do agree that visitors annoyingly like your posts

Just my own Discourse theme poorly ported to normal css and made a userstyle. It doesn’t work perfectly (the background has to scale full with, and other small general issues), but besides that it looks nice. It includes removing all sass functions (@if, @function, etc) and replacing them with normal code. Full width is a bit messed up on here but it works ok if you’re fine with glitches)

I don’t listen to people depending on stats, but rather, also does that person who liked 4 of my posts like me??? (user is @DexterAndDad315)
that is called “Abuse”, I was able to achieve that on my alt named imagebugtestforums and almost did the same behavior to myself (so I don’t get suspended)
also I don’t think that you can give yourself compliments, Using alt accounts to boost your likes is done by various members, and that is against the forum rules

No. They run out of likes within an hour.
I also find it ironic that many likes HERE are from visitors.

it’s soooooo true that visitors are liking posts on a feature request against visitors liking posts, and they run out of likes within an hour

Yeah. I’ve always wondered why they like posts so much. Too bad they cannot tell us…

they like the topic and every reply, AND they abuse the like system to a certain person (like how my friend liked a lot of posts of his main using an alt account)

Yeah, when I was still a visitor I liked posts since I couldn’t respond to anything and still wanted to show my agreement or express that something helped. Believe it or not, not all visitors abuse likes rather use them for valid reasons!
also how do I see you everywhere lol

I don’t see the purpose of this post? I can’t think of any reason why or how someone can abuse liking posts, and what you will gain by restricting visitors from liking posts that they like?

there will be more members than visitors (people at 2017 disagreed with the idea)
also i joined the forums at 2022, and became a member at july without liking a single post

You are not answering the question, did you even think this through before creating the post? What harm is caused by allowing visitors? Who cares how many visitors or members there are, we’re both humans who are learning to be better devs through the dev forum.
(congratulations for not liking a single post 
, do you want a medal for that?)

what is the question anyways? not all visitors are unique people, some are alts (like my alt account named @imagebugtestforums), also I saw a regular making an alt account here named @NarbraWalters, also some members do troll here (like how @slvcs posted pictures of blood and gore in public categories), the harm is caused by clogging notifications and boosting their likes, i don’t want to have 1 million likes recieved, this isn’t social media, also don’t talk that $%^& like you rich in profit

Exactly the point why you shouldn’t care. This post is so petty.

If you’re genuinely annoyed by something so harmless and stupid then leave. You obviously aren’t mature enough to be here, let alone have social media. It’s just likes dude, doesn’t affect shit.

I totally agree, I kind of support this, but I mostly don’t. Its very annoying having your notifications flooded with people who are guests liking your post.
