What would be the best approach to enable/disable this on a per category basis? We’d like to have a more complex “polis-like” mechanism in some selected areas of our social intranet, but don’t want to detract from the welcoming and positive nature of “just likes” for the rest of the categories.

There is no such feature. A quick way to do it would be to hide the reactions selector with CSS, such as:
```css
.category-general-resources .discourse-reactions-picker {
display: none;
}
```
If you want to iterate through multiple categories and make it easier to maintain, you can use a SCSS loop like this:
```scss
$categories: 'general', 'site-feedback', 'staff';
@each $category in $categories {
.category-#{$category} .discourse-reactions-picker {
display: none;
}
}
```
The category class is visible in the `` tag.
It can be circumvented by any user that knows how to make it visible again client-side, but if your community is well-behaved, I think it’s a good workaround. 🙂

Have you looked at some other options in discourse to achieve what you want, such as:

This worked surprisingly well, thank you very much for this approach.
