Feature Idea: Helpful Member / Like Button for Forum Posts (CLOSED) (CLOSED)

I noticed a lot of helpful members in the forum who go out of their way to answer questions and assist others. I think it would be cool to acknowledge those people. 

Perhaps these helpful members could receive a badge that appears next to their name or under their avatar, once they pass a certain number or percentage threshold. This info could also appear on profile pages along with all the other stats there. 

What do you think?

Yeah that would be cool. There could also be a like button for comments... (forum and gallery) it would feel less empty. I don't usually comment when someone else has already said what I think, simply because i don't want to say exactly the same thing as someone else.

And for those who don't want to comment, it would give them a way to participate by showing they agree without having to leave a comment.

Sadly likes and suchlike tend to turn into popularity contests. Person A likes something person B has done, so person B feels obliged to like person A's comments/gallery, and it all becomes  a pointless round of folks forming into cliques..
