There are situations when user press likes to his/hers own posts and this is the way to earn points and get positions in the leaderboard as well.

 

What I can do at the moment

  • As a admin I can lower the points to given likes but if user is hard-working, user can still earn points a lot
  • As a admin I can add update the House of Rules and give warning to the user who behaves against the rules. But when giving warning or a small note, likes still remain there

 

Options I would like to use in the future

Depending the use case, I would like to use one or several options from this list:

  • As a admin/mod, using Control I can disable likes from certain user. Meaning that user cant press new likes any more
  • As a admin/more, using Control I can reset pressed likes counter from certain user. Meaning that user stats are updated, there are no points any more about pressed likes
  • As a admin/mod I can remove likes from post, pressed by certain user. Meaning that other likes remains there

There is a discussion on this topic at least here:

 

Additionally

There are situations where I start discussion, or I publish article, I wish I can disable likes from that topic and that topic only. Meaning that users cant like opening post and/or comments. I dont have example for this but this is good option to have still.

 

EDIT: If those are too complicated to build, please disable option to like own posts.

    For some reason I have forgotten this, I edited now my idea:

    Hi all, wanted to jump in here as I’m experiencing users gaming the leaderboard system by liking their own posts to get points for the leaderboard. 

    I found this solved question from 4 years ago indicating that it is a bug and users should not get points for liking their own posts. I wanted to check if that was in fact a bug or if this is something that would need to be included as a new feature on the roadmap.
