Ok, but for real? What kind of untrustworthy abuse could I possibly be doing by liking things?! 
Hi
I could think wrong, but my explaination is:
Every interaction (likes, comments, new topics…) counts to “cheers”. And for this cheers there is a leaderboard.
If you raise to the top of this board by giving only likes and not enough helpful content, they perhaps wanted to regulated it in the early user history.

Uhhuh… I still hadn’t worked out what cheers even were lol 
- i thought that was weird that i got stopped while changing the reaction emoji i applied
2)there are leaderboards? why is everything a competition?

I think is a Discourse feature, not a Niantic’s decision. At least you won’t win something if you are higher or not, I think.
You can found it if you expand your profil. And if you click on the counting number of your cheers the leaderboard will open
ty - never would have clicked that ever
i still have no idea what cheers are lol

where is this? i don’t see anything like that
When you click on expand on your screenshot
You have to click on Expand, then it will appear new information. Look for a place that put: Cheers and a number in orange, click on that number.
Also is faster if you just type: https://community. wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/leaderboard/ (without the space after community)

The thing about expand? Is on pc too
that is the screenshot when i expand. i give up - ty for trying
oh i was looking for the words Global Leaderboard
okay got it. not something i need to understand but i appreciate y’all showing me how to get there. NEVER would have found that
I need to say that with this thing I had troubles too. I needed some tries by myself until I reached that place, not very intuitive.
I know right?
Also, now that I have a better idea what it is, I just find it more embarrassing than anything… Like a competition for having no life lol
