If I recall correctly, there’s a reputation feature that allows you to add to or detract from a user’s reputation based upon feedback on posts.

@americancyclo: we have the ability to rate threads now; there’s a link at the top of each thread. That hasn’t been a popular feature so far, but it could be forum members haven’t noticed it.
I did some research yesterday, including reading about the reputation feature Dirt mentioned. Most of what I read was unfavorable; people complain it leads to strife between users. I’m looking at versions of a “Thank You/Like” function similar to the one CCrew mentions. I did not find one that will work with the exact software version we are running, but I found one that will work if I update the software. I’m thinking I probably should do this anyway, since there have been a bunch of security patches provided since our last upgrade. This has also got wondering if I need to be doing regular backups, or if the forum host has us covered.
I want to do a little more research, then I’ll probably give it a try on a day I’m feeling particularly lucky. (Insert thumbs up icon here.)
