If +1 means Agree, then use the word Agree.

I wonder if we could have separate icons for Thanks and Agree?

Helpful is more precise than Thanks, so I "like" that.
Being able to filter on Helpfulness would probably be very hard for vBulletin, but you never know for sure unless you ask.
I'm leaning toward asking IB what it would take to implement separate icons for Agree and for Helpful. (Or use Thanks for Helpful if Amazon has some legal monopoly on that term.) Second I would like to ask whether filtering posts on Helpful rating would be feasible.
If people used the Wiki feature more often, filtering might not be necessary. On the other hand, filtering would be a great tool for people looking for the best content to add to a Wiki.
