Can we do away with "+1"?

In all seriousness, on another forum I visit they've banned +1's entirely and the level of intelligent responses has gone way up as a result.
Here's how they framed the rule:
Post only in a way that contributes to the discussion at hand. Posting constructive criticism and helpful suggestions is a great way to contribute to our community. Bumping old threads, posting "pluswan", "+1" or one-liners, and arguing aren't and will result in warnings, suspensions, or other actions.
...again, this is just a thought.

I think there may be other issues around here keeping the intel factor in the lower registers
and I'm thinking +1 isn't one of them
Sure, we can get rid of it. We only have a few billion other people to convince. This crowd isn't taking to your suggestion though. Maybe start with the people on your street and see if they'll get on board?
