I had to check with a non-champ account, and the like/dislike buttons are showing up on the Anarchy boards for me. So this might be something specific to your account, or to certain accounts that are affected.

I had a similar issue for a while where some of my accounts wouldn’t load images when using the IMG tag. Theo worked with me for MONTHS trying to figure it out, and eventually found that it had something to do with a setting not being checked when the account was originally approved, or something along those lines.

Just spitballing here, but this could be a similar issue where someone with Admin access has to dig through the account settings and figure out what’s different. As a former GM, I can attest that regular GMs don’t have access to that stuff.

I’d suggest shooting Vinnie a message and asking if he can take a look when he gets the chance.

On edit: I should have tried to leave a like before speaking. 

When I did, I received this message:
