Here is a suggestion for all of you. There is a member here who gave out 64 likes in a row to every single poster on their thread that they posted. How flipping foolish was that? Not surprisingly the member has been banned. The mods are sure to catch you if you abuse the like system.....so don't do it!
'Likes' are supposed to be earned not traded. Its always nice to put some amount of hard work to get something rather than getting it without any effort.
Update: The thread has been deleted so all 64 members have lost their likes.(including me) Frankly none of the posts merited a like in my opinion.
Once DP changed I got like 2-3 people messaging me to give them likes, I reported all of them. If you can't earn a like then you shouldn't get one.
Since you often post in content management area, trying going to that area and helping out some new members with their content management questions. Everyone has some expertise in certain areas, try to capitalize on those strengths. Likes will come.
