Every other site I use regularly has this sort of function and I really, really miss it on DW.
I honestly don't understand the objections at all. Many other sites that use it (such as tumblr, FB, youtube) have the same sort of varied content as on DW, so there is the same potential problem with someone "liking" your post about your dead grandma or whatever. It may happen very rarely, but in general it doesn't because most people are not asshole trolls out to make you go cry under your desk.
But if it's that much of an issue for people, then I don't see why it couldn't be an option, rather than a blanket feature for everyone. But it really feels like DW is stuck in the stone age not to have something like this, and it bugs me because there are a zillion posts that I want to show apprectiation for, but I don't just want to make a comment saying "I agree" or whatever.
