If you let anyone upvote, it will be spammed by alts.

And just like on crap sites like Reddit, up/down votes will become meaningless. Merit carries a lot more weight.

By the way, OP, this has been discussed before and was rejected. We just don't need anything in addition to the merit system. If you like a post and have some sMerit to give, give it out. If the post is objectively high-quality, someone will probably merit it themselves if you don't have any sMerits. It's not a big deal.

Could there be an option to upvote or like a post made by a user, if you are in agreement with it?
It's against forum rules to post little sentenceos commending a post. So an upvote option to show your approval can help to track the general opinion of a post.

The system could also lead users to useful, quality post, generally approved by the community. And it can also aid merit sources in finding quality content on the forum.

What's your say?

This already exists - it's called merit. Roll Eyes

Isn't there like a bitcointalk plugin someone created that allows other to upvote each other posts only if they have the plugin? I can't really remember which one it was.

I agree with Vod.

Merits already work very well in this regard. If you'd let people upvote posts without any "cost" to it manipulation would be rampant.
