Add a dislike button
Would give certain posters to the forum feedback and might reduce spam/personal attacks/irrelevant threads/trolling etc.
By voting with dislike, the disliked topic should not again go to the top of the page however.
An additional add on which would even help to clear the forum from spams etc. would be to move down a thread if the like/dislike balance is too much shifted to the dislike (and else, move the topic more up, if there are more likes).

This feature would be too easy for a player to abuse. It would take me only a few minutes to write a script that would enable me to silence any post/thread I didn't like, and I'm sure others could do so as well. There's a reason that most Forums don't implement a "dislike" feature.

This was indirectly adressed now with the "ignore" button.
