This sums up my opinions. Also the report feature serves its purpose to hide unwanted posts, and if you agree with the poster you can comment and support him/her.No, and I don't see why people get this so wrong.
- You would like a post if you agreed with it or found it interesting.
- You would dislike a post if you didn't agree with it or didn't find it interesting.
- You would report a post if it violated the rules.
The report button is not there for posts you don't "agree with" or don't want to see. It's there for reporting violations of the forum rules. Nothing else.

With my experience with Youtube and other things... It's safe to say that such a thing is not needed and makes it for an annoyance at times. Do you really want to see a +21 on a post that says "Cool story bro"?Do you really want to see 21 posts that say "Cool story bro"?
Tell me which is more annoying (as you put it): a little counter beside a post showing that 21 people found it interesting, or 21 people posting the same thing? Which is more spammy? Which is more distracting?
Oh, and the interesting thing about YouTube and their rating system is that you don't often see comment duplication, which allows for fresh, new content to be posted and have a certain degree of discoverability about it.
