Like/Dislike feature for each post. Might be helpful to gauge the community's
true opinion on various issues, as many members prefer not to post or risk alienating
buyers/sellers with their opinions but may silently agree or disagree with certain
things and still wish to anonymously voice their opinion by upvoting or downvoting

No... sorry, but I fundamentally disagree with this on many idealistic levels.

I don't have to agree with everything someone says in order to buy from their
store, and they don't have to agree with everything I say in order to sell
to me.

When did we stop wanting to hear people's differing opinions and take a my-way-or-the-highway
approach?

When did we start becoming afraid to say what we really think?

Would have to have some sort of account requirements for voting. Some number
of actual transactions completed or feedback level otherwise a bunch of fake/temp
accounts could be made to up or down vote something.
