I also think this would get rid of the "+1" posts, which I find to be
annoying.
Another reason why I think a Like/Thanks/Upvote/whateveryouwanttocallit

I would also like a voting system, much like what reddit has. The
downside is such a system can easily be gamed. I know reddit has stuff
in place to blunt gaming, and such may be beyond our resources to do (it
requires constant attention).
That may be one reason to use a pre-existing forum software.
My opinion is that we can put in a voting system, but require the person
to have an account on forum.dlang.org to vote once. It doesn't have to be
perfect.
Note that a voting system does not need to be tied to any kind of
moderation. It can be simply informational.
