Most of us who came from the old AM are still accustomed to not having a like button. I also think that it's not in an intuitive spot on questions and want to move it. So, yes, I agree. It's not being used as much as it could be, but it's been getting more use over time.
I'm an FNG here but I try to click on "Like" on every answer and reply that I actually like. I know some people are really hung up on that so they will get on the leaderboards but I've been on many sites that don't have those. I see it as a sign of respect for others. Some great questions,answers,and replies here.
I agree. While I certainly am not in this for votes, I think voting is nice. I have seen quite a few people that ask questions, but do not even vote for half-decent answers, at best, that they receive. I just find it the mannerly thing to do, as manners are VERY important to me. Even if one isn't a voter, in general, at least he/she should vote for answers he/she receives, as long as the answers are at least half-decent. I have noticed, also, that many people won't vote for one's answer, if they've answered the same question. I see myself voted for, sometimes, but much less, where I've answered the same question. Obviously, it's a competition, for many people. Shame. I sometimes am the only person not voted for, because I vote for the others, more than most people do, I guess. TOO MUCH voting for someone, though, may seem stalkerish?
