Of course we can :) I'm just not sure we need it at this point in time ;)

Should we hide the Like button for ignored posts...?

Pros:
- It takes less room. Even if hiding the action bar, the Like button is still on the same row, meaning I have to show said row... And I can't really move the Like button elsewhere...

Cons:
- If a post is really liked, this may be an incentive to actually unhide it. For instance, you may want to ignore a post spammer who often says interesting things but tends to pollute topics... (People like Pete and I :lol:)

Well, when hidden, IIRC it's the entire post+buttons+signature that's hidden and unless you've actually liked that post already, I see no reason to change that.

No, it doesn't hide everything. The code has to specify which divs will be hidden. actionbar is not hidden, but locally I've hidden actions (the right side of actionbar), which works well, but removing the Like button would defeat any reason to actually unhide a post. (In many cases.)

Well, that's kind of the point, when you hide a post it's because you don't consider anything the person has to say of any value so you're not likely to want to like their posts. But if you already did like the post, you're not going to want to hide it.

But what about my use case? Isn't it realistic?

I'm not sure it is, really.

In order to like it, you'd presumably have to read it, which means you'd have to unhide it anway. Might as well hide everything, then.

But if 10 people liked it and it says so -- wouldn't you be interested in knowing what it says?

We can always hide the Like button if there are no likes though!

Hmmmmm, I see your point there.

On the flip side I think that if you've hidden it, you've hidden it for a reason.

It's just a Like button. It's no biggie I think. It's not like we're showing the entire post :)
