ahhh, thats great! I thought he meant the one on the top of the thread.... thanks for this info...
but your likes can actually show how helpful you have been over the years to GBAtemp. but then thats like saying once you answer a topic or topic is not used anymore it should be just deleted.
well in fact it can help someone else years later. who might have a niche problem with say a Wii or a NDS in the future or any other console.
its like keeping records of our past, but the modding/hacking scene like ours.

It can also be a rather misleading indicator since people who were much more active before the likes were introduced have a much lower post/like ratio.
Not to mention that you can get your post liked for just about anything.

thats just life and technology really. maybe a new feature might come in one day and makes us look like noobs. like discord app, but i still like the shoutbox more even tho its the same 5 people in it.

Likes and/or featured posts *theoretically* should be an indicator of helpfulness but unfortunately, it doesn't quite translate in reality. We have seen time and time again succumb to the bandwagon mentality and it's not just restricted to the temp.
I tend to delete a lot of off topic, image only, or one word posts even if they have a lot of likes. I tend to be a bit harsher with my delete button than the rest of the staff but that is no need to cry. To avoid your likes from going missing, I suggest not posting in threads likely to be deleted, as well as avoiding posts that violate rules. Whether it be off topic or a reactionary post, just don't do it. Be helpful or harvest your likes from the EoF by actually being funny.
Just be glad I dont go in and set your likes to 0 again
In the words of our wise former staff member, " I am kind"

Maybe these go hand in hand but i wish you could see all the comments that you "liked" from other people's post on your page profile so you can go back to them for reference purposes.
Remember when GBAtemp likes meant something? Me neither.
i wouldnt worry. Its not losing your ability to post, its just some likes dissapearing? maybe a bug? or a drunk admin?
