Idea: Create a developer “Like” button near the “+1” for posts and responses.
I only thought of it due to people complaining about lack of feedback and the fact that like systems can help encourage discussion. Developers are busy and can’t spend a lot of time looking or responding on the forums. A developer like system would not be in-depth feedback but it would show they are listening. It might even encourage better discussions.
Or maybe it’s a lame idea, ha!
