More options for Posts

Hi,
I just had a random idea the other day. Most websites that allow comments have a "like" button and/or favorite button. Obviously, this is used for witty comments (or overused ones on youtube such as "#numberofdislikes people are deaf, like justin beiber, etc etc). However, I think that this would be a great addition to Sythe. Often there are posts that are downright hilarious/fail, and I'd like an easier way to save that post to see later if I ever want to "lol". There are no foreseeable drawbacks to this, and would be interesting to see on a forum site.
Thanks

I'm not sure if this forum could even support this. No support from me just because I don't see the point and could lead to people being sabotaged in the market section.

You may be right, thanks. I don't envision negative posts, just positive ones along with the ability to save the thread or something of the like

I support a like button

would be a nice feature and give some nice laughs. 100% support

IPB has this option built in, and even has a setting where if a post gets X number of negative votes, it hides it from view. Although that feature could be abused, it could also help with spam and phishing links, because average members COULD make a difference if several of them gave it bad rep.

If you just give a like button, however, that takes the abuse aspect out of the equation for the most part. I do support having some sort of rating posts, it would be helpful.
