I recently signed up to Gamespot and noticed that when ever I, 'like' a comment or receive a, 'like' It will vanish shortly after, but when I tested it on a moderators comment it remains unchanged and can't be, 'unliked' what's the go with that? I see people insulting each other all the time and racking up heaps of, 'likes' and then I'll decide to, 'like' an innocent comment left by someone and it get's removed.
We're not really sure what's caused this, but I can tell you it's not a personal moderation issue or anything like that - it's a technical issue of some form. Livefyre is a 3rd party service so I can't really give any reliable details unfortunately, but it is possible that the feature is being modified upon request to counteract 'like' spam (which is used to farm hits from crawlers from adsense sites and the like). If that's not the case then it's just some weird bug, either way though it's odd that likes still appear on moderator comments but not on other peoples. The likes are being registered in the back-end even though they don't appear on the page as well, so it's just them not appearing in the stream on the page itself.
