There have been numerous instances where I've been on MB here and wanted to thumbs up a post but instead just kind of nodded to myself and clicked back to look at a different thread.

The down side, I guess, is that there are less filler posts where all that gets said is "I know, right?" but that's not really a downside. People will still post if they have something to add, legitimately...

I don't know if you know what I'm talking about or not, but I think it's not uncommon so you might...

I'd love to see that in effect. I think it would be very useful and I don't know of any downsides...
I post on another forum that has that feature, so I know exactly what you're talking about. That system is definitely less passive-aggressive than the reputation points, but it still creates problems. For example, people will post random crap and inside jokes of all sorts just to get a shitload of +1's. It's absolutely ridiculous.
