im an admin on a ~15k users gaming community.a drop in the ocean compared to mmo-c but...
after one month of this we removed it.. put it back in after a while.after another week we restricted the option to moderators(and higher) only.

people will thumbs up their 'friends' and thumbs down people they don't like, regardless of what they post.

I mentioned recently but will again...I was a moderator on a board (all of the forums) for several years. It was a very active board and at some point we introduced a like button. The likes went sky high and the responses to posts plummeted. I think that it discourages discourse and moves conversations into the facebook mode.

Just my ole phart 2 centavos worth.
