What do you think of the upvote system?

[JEMC]

I agree with most here and I don't want a down vote button, but a upvote or like button would be welcome because in a lot of threads you see people quoting posts only to say "+1", "agree" or "seconded". So a system to show that you agree or like a comment could be useful.

Besides, given that the forum posts are shown by when they were posted and not by the number of likes/dislikes, the number of likes a post has won't make it more visible.

Alternatively, we could implement a feature that allows us to show that we agree with a certain post without having to resort to a upvoting or like system. I've seen forums, powered by vBulletin (if that helps somehow), where users can "thank" a user for a post, and their names appear at the end of said post. We could implement something like that but with an "agree" feature rather than a "thank" one.
