As odd as it sounds, I suspect that being able to weigh in in such a manner would reduce some of the flak our company reps get when a program does something they don't like (they'd get a few complaints and a bunch of "dislikes" in lieu of some of the posts). Only having a "like" button of some sort seems inclined to get people to "turn up the heat" in opposition to the easy "liking".
