Likes are reason your servers have been going off the rails. It's also making it difficult to perform some routine administrative tasks such as moderate users, change forum permissions, usergroup permissions, and comply with GDPR requests. They're in too many of the necessary database queries and they cause locks. We would have to rewrite core XF files to work around it. Our techs advise against that because the site would break every time we updated and it could create security vulnerabilities. We're going to have to remove them all. Your admins may put restrictions on their use afterward to cut down on excessive usage. You'll be able to like this post when we're done (or not).
