Why does LL allow "guest" to like post on threads?  Is it really a true guest just randomly surfing Lake Link or is it the same person coming in anonymously and liking their own posts several times or is it members that dont want to show they support a comment?

Just curious, sure seems to be a few people on this site that have a lot of likes on their comments but they are always guests

"Yes, thanks much Brent!  So if I'm not logged in my like will just show up as a generic Lake Linker?  But if I'm logged in it shows up as my handle?"

Correct G!

Gillespie,

Do you feel well informed on likes, IP addresses, and knowing who liked what? ​

Thank you Dave (G).

I am physically in Minneapolis.. the IP associated with this post is 200.25.22.152, which would say I am in Santiago Chile..

I have a VPN that never shows my actual location, my ISP, or anything close to it and (on my PC) changes my IP address every few minutes if I choose.

You P, I P, we all have an IP.. that is the key

G-

I'll share what I know coming from a non-technical heating guy's perspective!

Directly to the right of the like button is a number, click on the number, and it will display the number of guests that liked any given post, as well as any members who liked the post. See attached pic. I feel like that was your main question. 

As to why some folks can get multiple guest likes, I would gather from Dave, BA, and nif that likes are associated with your IP address.  

For example, on cellular data your phone will have an IP address, on Wi-Fi it will have a different IP address.  So if you like a post from Starbucks Wi-Fi, or other Wi-Fi networks such as work, you could have as many likes as you have IP addresses. BA mentioned some techie way to change your IP address (guessing Larb knows something about this lol)

If you have more questions, you'd have to ask Lake Link tech-support lol!  I don't do any social media outside of LinkedIn for work, and Lake Link for fun!
