Forum request: Post Likes

I actually don't know if I like this idea. We already have the star rating system for the threads.

Glad you brought that up.

All rating systems >2 trend towards being a binary system (which I also don't like) when open to the public. In a 5 point system, the vast majority vote 5 or 1. In a small population, that means most topics are 5, 1, or nullvote. In this forum's case, you don't even know how many voted. A 5 star topic could be rated by a hundred people, or more likely, by the OP alone.

In that case I'd like to extend this request to threads in addition to posts, and have it replace the current star ranking system.
