@dpertschi The feature was implemented based on this Feature Request, which actually got a decent number of upvotes. While I do think it might have made sense for Jamf to use something other than a "Like" button, such as, say, a "+1" or "Upvote" button, this is an attempt to allow the community to weigh in on posts that, hopefully offer a solution that the community generally agrees with. The problem with some threads is that they can take on a life of their own even after the original poster has moved on or removed their account. The community may continue to post on the thread, keeping it alive, but only the OP has the ability to choose a post as "the answer" This gives us a way to hopefully allow important posts that come along to get some additional notice.
That being said, I don't "Facebook" either and it would have been nice if Jamf didn't use the "Like" moniker as it doesn't exactly connote that a post provided an additional layer to a solution or that it helped someone. In fact, back on that FR that was implemented around this, several folks weighed in that using a +1 or "This helped me" button would have been better. In that respect, I'm not sure what made Jamf choose a Like button instead. I think Facebook has invaded too much of our online society personally. I guess I say that because my only worry is that some posts may end up with high "Likes" due to someone posting memes or other silly content that adds nothing pertinent to the overall discussion. We should be careful to only Like posts that we really agree with or helped us, not like some people I see on Facebook that simply go down the list of their friends posts just liking everything without even reading them :-P
So overall I understand the concern. We'll have to see where this goes and if it goes awry, hopefully we can convince Jamf to change the button to something maybe a little more professional sounding.
