That does give value, and I would argue that that gives significantly more value to other posters than a FT posting title. (Who do you trust more, inherently? A "FlyerTalk Posting Legend" with nothing else, or a measly "FlyerTalk Evangelist" that's also a "Super Helpful Poster?")
I'm not seeing this. Is this something visible to everyone? (Meaning, can I see your like stats?)
I cut your post to address just a few things...
Adding a title like "Super Helpful Poster" will only serve to drive the misuse of a button. Then, you'll have people with that title who don't give correct information.
The "like" button is currently not visible to anyone but TB members, admins, and moderators.
