I thought it might help balance out the prevailing hivemind. Some forums actually make feedback public, so you know who is leaving feedback and whether it was positive or negative. You can also disable the tally, so you have no global positive or negative score, which helps to dissuade trolls from bothering with neg-bombing.
I think a simple 'like', akin to the facebook feature would work, without any polling of the data, but anything even remotely hinting at dislike becomes political ... fast.
even a like system has the potential for politicisation
Stop telling me how things should be, I'm just some cunt on the internet.
Get up, move to a table without the internet, and do something about changing it.

The only downfall is some people can't handle being negged. Usually these are people who take the internet entirely too seriously.
yet they still deserve to use it ... nay ... it's always a bad idea
jens is bang on the money ... and as I said before, the politics will out ... it's basically giving the trolls power

And how badly would Rich come off in such a system? As he'd get a say in this, I can't see it happening.
if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
