Back on CotH, we could give a little thumbs-up to posts that we agreed with, or that we enjoyed the points of. I think something like this would help the Freedom forums immensely, for a few reasons.
1) Reduce on forum clutter. Currently, if you agree with someone and want to voice this support, you have to make a post saying so. If you're another person trying to skim through a thread for the important parts, wading through a sea of 'this' and 'I agree completely' can be rather counter-productive.
Really, that's the only reason. I could go through variations of it, such as it's a silent way of showing support, or a cleaner way, but most of it's just to kinda consolidate. Anyways, it's nothing life-threatening or big if this doesn't go through, but I think it'd be a handy little tool that could have a subtle but large effect on the forums here. Thank you for reading!

The pine tree wastes which is perched on the hill,
nor bark nor needles shelter it;
such is the man whom none doth love;
for what should he longer live?
