Liking a topic/reply and voting for an idea will have a varying levels of impact for each community.
Community Managers, like me, will want to incentivize/reward those activities differently.
Additionally, points for likes can lead to users trying to game the system by liberally liking most posts/replies (I’m seeing some of that currently). However, there’s no way to reduce/remove the points for giving a Like without negatively impacting Votes for ideas.

Edit: without negatively impacting the points awarded for Votes for Ideas.

If so, I fully agree. This would really help us as we’ve seen a huge uptick in our community member activity & points since we migrated ideas to our community and are noticing some customers “gaming the system” by upvoting ideas relentlessly (see screenshot below of a fairly tongue-in-cheek post from one of our customers).
I’d like to add to this idea: It would help for us to be able to separate Ideas, Questions, and Conversations in the Award points for creating a topic gamification logic. Here’s what I’d like to see as options in the Point system configuration:
+7if I understand your idea correctly, you’re asking to be able to set separate rules in gamification for Votes vs. Likes. Is that correct?
Yes, exactly.
I like your additions as well.
For the Insided team, my use case is the opposite of Adam’s. We award 1 point for giving a like or upvoting an idea. I’m seeing some users gaming the system with excessive likes on posts and replies. But I still want to incentivize Idea Votes with points (we don’t have the idea volume that Adam’s community seems like it has) as that part of our community sees lower adoption.

Thanks for kickstarting this idea. Though our use cases are opposite, the functionality needed remains the same and I imagine this added flexibility in gamification could be huge for many inSided customers
