I don't think you understand the concept.

Up/downvoting reorders the posts in a thread by rating, rather than by time. It is for comment sections. Not forums. If you did it on a forum...it would not be a forum anymore.

HAY GUYS, HOW ABOUT A CHAT ROOM, BUT WITH VIDEO AND COMMENTS?!

Oh right, that's called 'Youtube.'

Only if there are only upvotes/thanks/rep/likes/etc.

This place can use an increase in positivity. Often people give very useful advice but not everyone wants to reply just to give their appreciation. The upvotes works great for that.

Every post that makes it to the top 5 pages of Reddit turns into a giant circle-jerk. I like the content, hate the users.
