Context / Problem:
- Our community is having a problem with abuse of our gamification system, specifically points earned when others like your post.
- It’s pretty isolated to a few individuals per month and I have ways to catch it and address it when it happens. Thus, I don’t want to let a few instances of cheating remove the value of giving/earning points for likes.
- It’s clear that most are doing this by going to someone’s profile page and just liking all the posts/replies in the user activities feeds (Topics & Replies) on their friends/colleague’s profile. I’d like to remove this easy way to cheat; I believe adding friction will eliminate most of this.

Desired Solution: Custom CSS to disable the clicking of the Like button from these/any activity feeds, thus forcing users to click into the post to like it.
I imagine there’s a way to just hide the like button altogether (if you know how to do that, please share...)
But ideally I can just disable the click/capture of the Like, not hide it. The number of likes on a post is helpful context for those not cheating, showing which posts in the general activity feeds are most popular etc.
