Lol
I have a variety of reasons that I click "Like" to a post, besides the obvious reason, I sometimes use it for the following:

- To lure someone back to a thread even if I did not like their post or agree with them.
- Sometimes I "Like" a post written against what I am saying to confuse the poster.
- Occasionally, because their post is well written, I use it as a little gold star and has nothing to do with what they wrote.
- To acknowledge that I have read a response to a post of mine but show I do not care enough to reply.
- Every now and then I use it as a *wave* so that a familiar name knows I have read one of their posts.
- I deliberately misuse it randomly to devalue it.

As the title says, what other ways and reasons do you use the forum's Like button?

CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Various reasons. If they're funny, make a valid point, or they are someone I know.

Bring your possibles.

OP, I just 'liked' your post...

...but I don't know why.

I only like, cause the title of the thread tells me to give likes.

The same way I'd use the dislike button.

I left click it with my mouse.

Or just use my like script bookmarklet if I'm feeling generous.

Cannot define a Like post. You know it when you see it.

If your absurdist self posted something so ironical/stupid that it busted up the seriousnes, a Like.

If you're a general prick, but this time you're making a lot of sense, and I can't dispute it-- a Like.

If you're one of the posting crew, and known to continue the dialogue and/or be cool to other people, a Like.

Likes are like love. Love costs you nothing. But if you spread your love around too much, you might get burnt. Likes are precious, best to hold them tight, and give them only to the deserving.

Generally what i do when a post is good, makes me smile/laugh, well written and/or well and logically argumented, insults someone who i disagree with in a particular matter, is scipie, posts cats, is being specially evil, laughs at hs carebears, is good at space barbie online or likes to write about eve lore i check with my brain if the post is worth/good enough for me to go all the trouble of moving my arm to move the mouse on top of the like button to press my finger down to apply the like to the post.

tl;dr If the post is good and i'm not feeling lazy

Aye, Sea Turtles

I like a post if I agreed with it, if it made me laugh, if it was helpful to me, or if it linked to something good that I hadn't discovered before like new music.

I never use the like-button.

I don´t like anyone either, of course.
