Which post did you find most helpful for this topic?
Similar to a "Like" button, but maybe a ranking of 1-5 (5 being the most helpful) that thread readers can assign to a response. Limit the number of "ranking" per ID per post to mitigate spamming.
I would ask that the ranking be tied to the poster's ID. Then start to gather info on which posters have been providing "helpful" and somehow make that available to RFF'ers in general.
Also, associate each ranking provided by an RFF'er with his ID -- similar to subscribing to a thread, but only for those that I ranked.
Lastly, somehow associate those posts and rankngs with the RFF Search function where highly ranked responses are given priority in the Search algorithm.
I don't know if any of the above already exists in RFF (and I just don't know it), but if it doesn't I think it would be very helpful.
