My fat finger on my smartphone and/or iPad Mini screen keeps accidentally hitting the "Report Post" button by accident.  Then I have to either go back to the forum or hit the back button on the browser and wait while the whole page loads again.  Mildly annoying when all I wanna do is spread the "Likes".

Or just put both thumbs on your iPad at same time and slide them outward, making the image larger.

There is nothing for the gentleman to gain by doing so.

it lets the ladies know we appreciate their efforts.

That's the most illogical thing I ever heard. Given the fact, when a lady posts a pic, topic, or replies to a post she is drawing attention to her brand. I'd say that is a benefit to the lady's business.  

But we'll need them to reply to ever know for sure, and likely they won't dig down into this thread.  Instead, you could pose the issue as a new topic, such as "Ladies Only - does receiving a "like" to your Photo Board post lead you to post more often?"  Since that'd be a poll, it seems like Rod would need to post it on the General Discussion board if you'd care to delegate.
