Unfortunately (in my own opinion as a forum admin), this shouldn't be implemented and/or enabled (at least for now).
First of all, the server that hosts this forum is getting pretty bogged down. The forum script itself is already CPU intensive and adding support for thumbs up/down (or Like) (or reputation) requires the forum to make a few more queries. Also, we changed hosts like 4 or 5 times and we seriously wish that we do not have to migrate again because it's really cumbersome to prepare everything and we have to wait for the DNS servers to sync and the downtime and disabling attachments and whatsoever.
Second, like some members said, it's a little too opaque, you don't really know who's actually disagreeing with you and you might never know who is behind that -1 rating. Unlike a blog, this is a forum, you can reply to the poster if you disagree with the poster's opinion. (Unlike a blog, which is rather difficult to reply to the original poster)
Of course, that is my two cents and you can always reply if you disagree with my statements.

On another forum I go to, they had a "rep" system. you could give people rep, or remove it based on how many rep you had to begin with. It was all anonymous, but people signed their rep messages and people started to hate eachother.
Whereas if there were reputation that allowed comments, was public, but you could only give rep instead of take it away, it would be good.
But I still think it is a bad idea anyhow

A.K.A. BANJOGATE Ego Sum Deus Quo Malum Caligo et Barathum I give my sincerest apologies if anything that I have mentioned in a post or image by me or relating to me, any word, ASCII character, vowel or constant is to be considered offensive in your native tongue. If it is, remember you're on the internet.
