I noticed recently that there have been a few threads that have veered off track enough that someone needs to step in and clean them up. On a recent one (that I happened to report on), one of the mods mentioned staying on track, avoiding personal insults, etc. I left a "Like" thumbs up, as a way to try and not clutter the thread, but show my appreciation for their job. I saw that a couple of others had done the same. However, it got me thinking... When I have made a particularly witty post, my "notifications" bell has been overwhelmed at times from everyone "liking" it, to the point that I have trouble seeing the threads that I actually care about for replies because of all the "likes". Hence my question in the title.
Mods, do you have any opinion on others "liking" your posts about thread cleanup or rules reinforcement? I am wondering if it falls under "well-meaning but un-helpful or distracting". Having not been a mod, I don't know if there is a separate "mod" notification section apart from your regular "user" notifications (I could see issues needing a mod getting lost "in the shuffle" if everything is all grouped together). Or maybe I am just over-thinking it? This board seems to run fairly "hands-off" most of the time (like anything else, stupid posts seem to come in waves), so maybe it isn't an actual issue/concern?
Just a random thought I had, and wanted to make sure that I wasn't (accidentally) making anyone's job harder while trying to express appreciation. I may be totally overanalyzing.
