I have always preferred the term , flag , to abuse.. It does kind of ask for ppl to abuse the abuse function.
Bit like , like and dislike.. I prefer unlike or not like.
yes my users use flag for more than just spam/abuse, sometimes just to point something out to the mods.
After having alot of experience with a "like" feature in forums nowadays, I find it coming up short. Just plan old likes is a thing of the past in my opinion, yet many user's are just now being turned on to it.
The best way for me to explain how to take likes a step further, is just to show where someone took the concept and turned it into a plugin for xenforo.
To me, "Spam" and "Abuse" are the same and should just be "Flag" or "Report". Kinda redundant to have both. I can see user's abusing the "Abuse" link pretty often. If you have a bunch of moderators that's great, otherwise it would be a pain to have.

Like button is kind of must nowadays.
When can we expect this ?
Cant wait !
I see you released it on the Vanilla hosted edition. When can we expect this in the community edition?

great feature... these would definitely help. also wanted to know what is "promote"? what does it do on a forum and why would someone click it?

What happened with that feature ?

Welcome to the community.
You would be better starting a new thread, rather than posting on one that is 5 years old and refers to a much older version of Vanilla.
Check out the YAGA addon if you are looking for reactions:

Note that is an application, so goes in the applications folder.
Ok. Thank you, and sorry for necro.
