While MyBB has a rep system, I think that posts should include a rep system to - if you can rate a topic, why not individual posts?
I know there are thank/like plugins, but I think this should be something as default in a forum. Since facebook introduced the measures it has been used so much that it is easily now considered a core function.
In the old days before I had the plugin to handle thanking, we used to have users quoting a post without writing anything new - which is incredibly irritating and a massive waste of space.
We called it empty quoting.
I think this would be a great feature that many would find useful. I've not been on a forum that doesn't have this feature being used that has more than 1,000 members.
