@rawTOP I'd like to chime in on this. I've been on this forum for nearly seven years. It's true I mostly lurk, but I swear I used to "Upvote" and "Like" posts. Recently, I lost the ability to do that, which I thought was a glitch until, well, now.
First: this is your site. You control the vertical and the horizontal (and *that's* a dated reference!). So however you want to do it, you do it. Someday, when I am more comfortable posting here, I may. But until then, I did like having the ability to participate in the community, albeit in a limited way. It would be nice if the bar to giving someone a "Like" were lowered.
My two cents. 🙂
