Sometimes I just want a “Like” or “Agree” just for that. Some posts aren’t exactly worth a merit, but you still want to vouch his idea without needing to create a post for that.

LIKE feature would be nice to see implemented in Bitcointalk forum,
as I know that many members simply don't have merits at all
and they still want to somehow reward member for his effort

I have actually did this a few times myself... Eventough i do take extra caution to only reward merit to a post i agree with if the post is also well-formed and informative... I'd never merit a one line "i agree"-type of post, even if i agreed with said one-liner...
It's a grey area, this is not why merits were introduced, but by making sure the post i merit is also decent quality, i don't think i'm doing anything wrong.

I was discussing the awarding of merits with another member recently, and he made me aware that we have both started to award merits as an alternative to posting a reply in a thread. If you agree with a poster, but don't have much to add to the point he has made, do you think it is good practice to award merits without quoting and posting an agreement? It will certainly keep the thread cleaner and easier to read, but it may be difficult for those seeking to build a post count to restrain themselves.
