    Thumbs up Forum +1s and Such

    I think it would be incredibly useful if this forum
    had a +1 or a Thumbs Up feature.

    This does not have to be available for everyone,
    although that is a possibility. This could be limited
    only for the Original Posters.

    This feature might be used to highlight users who create
    great responses to topics and threads, and who add to the
    conversation.

    There could also be a "Strike" button that could be used to
    target offenders and rude people. Even though each single
    response might not need reported, a long chain of activity
    might warrant scrutiny.

    Just an idea. I don't think that this forum "needs" it, as it is
    great the way it is. I just think that it could help to show off
    some of the great talented posters that we have here.

    Competitions could be had to give away donated gear weekly
    or monthly, but I'm afraid it all would go to Dutch, Grizz and Shug!
    It's not like they need more anyways.

    Oooooh, I just thought up a fun name:
    Like -or- Strike

    No need. Everyone's input is greatly appreciated in general.

    The Mods take care of all the rest, and might I add, they do it very well indeed.

    I understand the ask... I do not always what to respond but greatly appreciate the post. It would be great to "Thank" or "+1" or something just so the poster knows that what they post is appreciated.

    This is the reason that I suggested it.
    Would something like this drive activity and promote more well
    thought out responses? I think so, but it would depend on how
    the community issued the "+1s".

    I don't think so. It could stop people from posting since they may think what they are saying isn't worthwhile. There would be a lot of favoritism +1 on here also...IMO

    It's a pretty simple implementation for Vbulletin (two possible options are here and here).

    Personally, I love this idea but I doubt it will ever happen.

    I don't think that would be the case...but it would save a lot of "this is a good post" posts that clutter up the really good threads.

    There would be a lot of favoritism +1 on here also...IMO
    It's not like there's a carrot for the most +1s. So what?

    Because if there were a prize, I'd have already been after it.

    Either way, pushing for this may just be tantamount to kicking against the goads. Apparently, it was addressed last year. Somebody else mentioned having brought it up before then.

    I doubt the opinion of the Powers That Be will have changed.
