I can dig it. There are certainly times when a good gif can be hilarious if posted on it's own at the right moment, I just think some sort of balance and consistency should be established and enforced, and your idea would do that just fine in most cases. Although I still think the "quote a funny post and put the laughing smiley" is ridiculously dumb, and such posts are pretty common. That's what a "like" system would prevent, which is what I was initially bringing up before Goofle tried to suggest disregarding the rules is the right thing to do (lol). I'm not sure though how easy or difficult likes would be to implement.
