The 'Like' button option is a joke

    I just 'liked' the same post 6 times in a row.

    What a joke Simon. Sort it out!

    I believe Simon once explained that multiple hits still count as one.

    You know that life is more than a like button, right?

    The joke is on you, unfortunately. No matter how many times you click the like counter it only records one for your account.

    But at least you can get your jollies or frustrations out manic-clicking to see the count go up 😀

    Wow, a number on your screen went up 6 times !!!

    ... you'll find it didn't go up on anyone else's though.

    It's one of those cases where the effort to ensure visual consistency across devices just isn't worth the development effort or extra runtime cost. Who would it "help", other than someone determined to like the same things umpteen times in a row?

    Sometimes it's useful being able to flag people who are trying to abuse the system. Maybe at some point their likes or dislikes stop being counted at all. Well, just on everyone else's screens of course ;)

    I just 'liked' the same post 6 times in a row - why did you do that? That's retarded.

    I only disliked your OP once.

    As we are all guests on a site that doesn't cost us anything to join or participate on, and as the 'Like' feature is not essential to the site's function, comments such as that are rather rude, demanding and uncalled for.

    My self-worth hinges on getting a "like."

    My morale is very, very low now . . .
