What happened to Likes counter?

[Krajzen]

It is a bit awkward for me to post this because I wouldn't like to come out as that narcisstic guy spamming stuff for points but uhm I feel the need to ask for this

there used to be 'likes' counter counting agrees each user cumulatively gets from his actions and I had few I look at my profile after a week or two and suddenly I have 0 likes and not going up despite getting few points for shameless off topic post about multicultural contacts in eu4 era

Was this statistic disabled to prevent 'farming points' from spamming?

They can no longer be viewed after some shenanigans in the OT forum where some fascist and disgusting* users decided to spam upvotes en masse, with me being the target of them. There was a Golden Era where I was rightfully on the throne as Emperor of the OT, a title gained by holding the most agrees of all individual users, but alas the pretenders Johan and Wiz took my throne by posting in the EU4 forum. Here the hordes showered them with agrees and helpfuls as a result of their Dev Diary postings or general comments such as 'No.'.
*Note: These users are neither disgusting nor (that I'm aware of) fascist, it's an OT joke.

TL;DR, OT behaved in a way the higher powers disagreed with and punished everyone.

Yes, it was disabled due to the abuse, especially from some OT users that thought a banned user made better post than the entire forum together.

Petrarch being banned in no way affects the quality of his (apparently agreeable) posts..
