/Mod hat off, merely asking for consideration on a broader basis

There's the other thread (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/talkb...-feedback.html), which I'd refer people to, which moots about a somewhat similar feature: a "Helpful post" or like feedback counter, as opposed to what in my opinion is a much more ambiguous and broadly interpreted "Like".

Just what does it imply when I "Like" a post? Good, useful information, clearly presented? Great humor? Is this post fun or clever? Do I like this poster? Am I merely "Liking" another's "like" whilst attempting to give further "likeness" to another post?

How does a feedback mechanism reflect the purpose and values of FlyerTalk? MP is, IMO, a good reference point for what "Like" might bring.
