How about when a thumb is entered it promotes the thread, just like a posting?
that would make the thumb more meaningful and it seems right to me

Seriously, Grampy Bobby, IVV, Metallica, and RJHinds are going to do the work themselves to keep their threads at the top of their respective forums. That's why I'd be in favor of extending coquette's idea to down-bumping posts when they get thumbs down. WE all know there's some "thread domination" going on in some forums and I'd say maybe some down-bumping via thumbs-downing might be a way to remedy that problem.

could it not be possible to scale it?
rather like a thumbs-down drops it two levels? then
a second thumbs down drops it two more levels?
it doesn't have to be that easy, maybe three thumbs down bumps it four posts down
10 thumbs down drops it to the next page
10 thumbs down could seal the post
not exact proposals
just thoughts
alas, i am prepared for all the nay sayers
here it comes
i am brave

I like the idea of being able to sort forums based on certain columns. Perhaps one of those columns could be 'favorably thumbed'.
