'enforcing' to create a thread first isn't just so people can provide a short comment about the script. It's just a small thing which can be done also (commenting). The more important thing about that is so bugs can be fixed and issues handled and there is a central place to do it and way more convenient. A thread has far more uses than a comment system (not saying a comment system is useless).

Exactly! A thread helps people to track bugs and allows the reporter to post attachments to show more details, and it doesn't seem as strange to have a large post in a thread compared to a large comment.  This kind of information will also be a lot harder to find for people if you have a lot of comments like "This is really good", "Worst script ever", etc.  Too much spam like that makes it harder to notice the serious issues.

although on the other hand, you could get other feedback that is not such "support" related with out the hassels of signing up for a forum that you might never visit again, just to say something like: "i like this script"

I think its a good idea. However it will be abused a lot.

If it is implemented, I might be able to volunteer my time to keep it clean.

I think a system like mininova would be good where if people want to just give thanks they just click the give thanks button. That way they don't have to enter a one line like "thanks for the skin/script". So at the top you would just have a the number of thanks you have gotten.

It would remove a bit of the spam and would make the longer more detailed comments stand out more.

Would be cool to also see the flags going like mininova :P then you could see where your user base is mainly (sort of)

But i guess that would require a bit more work :/
