[REQUEST] Add Rating to post/thread?

Is it possible to add a Rating system to each post or thread? So that users can rate the usability of each post on the forum. A total rating to the thread (accumulated by related post in the same thread) will be shown in the forumdisplay page.

Also, current counter of each post/thread did the way a page view do. I think it would be better to show how many unique user have had read the post but not only page views.

How do you guys think about that?

That sounds fine too. Althought I'm interested in your methodology with that... why average? Seems to be more indicitive of the user's rating? More fair that way?
Something I'm missing?

Yes. I think the average is to know how users admired a thread.

Here's an example:
In thread Q, there were post AA & BB.
For user A & B rates 3 & 5 for post AA, A, B, C, & D rates 1, 3, 4, 2 for post BB and the rating credit wwre:

post AA: (3 + 5)/ 2 = 4
post BB: (4+4+4+4)/4=4


thread Q: (4 + 4)/2 = 4

I think a rating credit is to show up a post or thread's value or quality but not a page view (summation). How do you think? Or there's another methodology we can discuss about it.
