Wasn’t quite sure how to tag this.
Why are “likes” limited on the forum here? I looked around a bit but couldn’t find an answer.

The number of “likes” given is based on Trust Levels.
Default likes per a 24 hour period: 30
Those that have reached Trust Level 2 (TL2) will get 1.5x more per day for a total of 45 likes per day. Those that are at Trust Level 3 (TL3) will get 2x more; so 60 likes per day.
A 24 hour period starts from your first “like”.
I still for the life of me cannot see a reason to reduce likes.
Most of the rules in here make perfect sense to me, but I haven’t figured out a good reason to limit positivity. Can people weaponize the like function somehow?
I’m glad you asked this!
This is important.
Close! It’s more abuse of it. That is why there’s a daily limit.
Lol, I figured it was at least on-par with someone complaining about screw head slots not being lined up on an airplane.
The requirements to get to unlimited votes are not overly strenuous (my opinion). In case you haven’t seen the requirements, they can be found at the link below. I don’t think there’s any way to get unlimited likes for us mere mortals!

Do you mean unlimited “votes”?
“Likes” are limited.
I tried to like this but was told I can’t.
So am I correct that the only way to unlock unlimited likes is to ascend to TL3, “Trusted Member?” From what I can see, that is an invite-only level. Any guidelines on what us mouth-breathers can do to garner the (favorable) attention of the Community Team. Am I correct in guessing it’s Admins + Moderators that make up that group?
I did mean votes and edited according, but I should probably just delete the post since it really doesn’t address the question brought up.

You are almost correct. Moderators recommend users for TL3 to the Community Managers.
Users that have the “Regular” title are at Trust Level 3.
As far as I know, even Moderators and Community Managers are limited too as it’s a system setting.
I’m going to have to agree. Those of us who spend literally hours per day waiting for SolidWorks to load models have a lot of time to spend on these forums, and 45 likes is just not even close to enough for 24 hours. I can’t even understand why such a low number would be chosen.
I think the real question is, what is the logic behind such a low number of likes? Why do I have to pick and choose which posts I like? It’s very counterintuitive to me. You’d think the forum would want to support positive vibes, not suppress them.
Really. Is there a logical reason behind so few likes being allowed per person?
And yet, people can post as many negative posts as they like. It was getting so bad I had to leave the forum for a while. Thank goodness for the ability to block users, but even that wasn’t enough. For example, I got the feeling from this forum that the Aerosoft Twin Otter was just an awful product that the author was not supporting at a reasonable level, only to come to find out through a thread that technically has nothing to do with the Twin Otter over the last couple of days that it’s a super popular product, in fact, one of the most popular. And despite the facts of the vote, I still got pushback from a couple of users in that thread on the product when I pointed out the fact of its popularity. It would be super nice if this issue could be addressed somehow (not that I know how, but I think more likes would at least help ). And that’s just a small example.
I don’t mean to be negative here, just wondering what the logic is.
It’s as if the rulemakers have no idea how many hours per day people spend on the forum…
Edit: And then, it hit me… They don’t want us here, they want us flying in the sim…
Had a laugh at that!
I will bring this up. See next post for a poll.

I hit my Like limit fairly regularly. I like to think of it as a reminder that I should take a break from the forums every now, and again!
