Is a moderator supposed to "un-helpful" the post?

No. Are you advocating they should? Why should they? You're intimately familiar with "Likes" on Facebook--no one has the power to remove "Likes" there, and that system works just fine.

I think this is a perfectly workable system:
Bolding mine: And that's all I asked and you are the only TB member to actually answer my question ^ as I do not think moderators should be in the business of un-helpfulling a post.

Now as to facebook and likes and flyertalk and likes, yes it does work on facebook (even when it's raining ) but afaik, there isn't a way to game the system on facebook and as has been discussed numerous times in this thread, a) this is not facebook and b) this is flyertalk where gaming the system is a way of life
