IMO it's not that relevant unless have a "Dislike This" button too...

On another forum I use they have this, and it certainly keeps the trolls and inflammatory posts in check when posting something stupid can get you a negative rating fairly quickly. Also the "score" is posted next to the user's screen name and avatar so it's easily visible to all.

Ooh I don't think I'd like that. I come on here to learn stuff and hopefully have a laugh at the same time, not to stress about whether I've got a good 'appreciation' score.
And wouldn't you find that some of the trolls would quite enjoy having a negative score anyway?

It seems to work quite well on that particular forum.

Maybe some trolls would revel in their negative scores, but the regular users learn to ignore what they say pretty quickly which makes their posts almost completely ineffective.
