is there any way to obtain the like button//////
No, we don’t have a like button 'round here.
why does it say it then ;-;
The tutorial is canned from Discourse.
The SDMB was set up by the admin team of the board back in the first half of 2020 and the Like Button was turned off right after we went live. But they don’t have control over the tutorial.
If we ever turn it on, you’ll see the like button appear. But I don’t see that happening based on prior threads on this topic.
oh- ok thanks (so the lvl up system is broken???)
I’m not even sure what the Level Up system is. That one I don’t know.
So I can’t like that this board doesn’t have a like button? 
I think it’s a good choice. I find that likes make people do things they wouldn’t normally do and say things that they wouldn’t normally say. They make conversation into a numbers game.
If we like what someone has to say, we say why we like it (or not).
Way back in the beginning, reaching certain goals would grant a poster higher trust levels which unlocked added benefits. Level 3 allowed posters to edit titles or posts and move threads and opened a special forum for their private use(going from memory).
That got shut down real fast.
The Level Up system means very little on the SDMB. Most of the features that would open up to you are not enabled.
I think it is impossible to become a level 3 here, except for being appointed an extra powered Moderator. The bulk of us Moderators are only level 2 with Mod powers. Most regulars are level 2 I believe.
You pretty much get the same bells, whistles and flags here that you get in real life, I guess.
After 3 months here you can request a title change at least.
Here (from a previous thread) is the explanation of why we don’t have a “Like” button:
I assume you mean on the old vBulletin software?
I meant 2020. Typo. I fixed it now, thank you.
Oh, that makes even more sense, thank you. 
I like this post. I like it because it is brief, yet nicely explains how things work around here.
There’s an option to skip a section in the tutorial so you can still finish it and get your badge if you want it. Just reply with a message saying skip
And, yeah, you’re already at the highest level that this board offers, since you’re not a noob. Congrats!!! 
“I like the cut of your jib” suffices.
mmm
