helpful info voting button...

I was thinking, sometimes people post really helpful information like say, a scan of a hard to find schematic for an old gun or detailed dissasembly instructions...things of that nature.

Now, when you search for information, often you have to wade through a lot of posts to find anything truly helpful. Today I was searching for "autotrigger" because I was interested in putting one on my Sniper. You can imagine how many posts came up with that keyword.

I've seen forums where people can vote for the quality of the thread, but I was thinking something a little simpler. Just a button next to each post where people can tag that post as "helpful info" (or words to that effect).

The purpose would be that if someone wanted to, they could search through those posts only.

People often bookmark posts and threads of that nature, myself included. This could be the same thing, only more of a communal effort.
