Replying to my own post. I just looked up Massimos previous answer. And the 
correct return policy is:


        query1 = (db.auth_user.id == db.liked.liked_by);
        all_like = db(query1).select(db.auth_user.first_name);
        
        items = [dict(name = row.first_name) for row in all_like]
        
        db(db.post.id==id).update(reported=False, like_it=True,banned=False)
        response.js = "$('#post-%d > 
div:first-child').addClass('like_it')"%id
        #like_message = 'Liked'
        return dict(like_message = 'liked', items = [dict(name = 
row.first_name) for row in all_like])
