Add a "thanks" button to posts?

Being against too much social marketing (such as infantile "likes/dislikes")
I welcome the idea of a "thank you Button" to honor our creative members who spent countless hours to develop software,
code, compile, bugfix, help others and finally make ends meet.

Some electronic forums have that too, there it becomes quite visible who is an authority, so newcomers will first hear, then talk.

All this may help to earn them well-deserved respect, important within a board that contains so much good information
It will stand easier through the occasional flaming or leeching that comes up too easy because of absence of a writer's personal appearance.

BTW, I like doom9 forum's straight design & quick response (good old vBulletin 3.8.11)
and consider it my ease-of-use standard. +1 for keeping it so.
well, tolerating search result structure and some other smallies...
