Is it possible to add a feature like this ...

I think the feature of inputting a result of a post is great. It's inspiring and a type of feedback, that encourages more activity. Can TDF add such a feature? Like this screenshot below, from another website.

You know i'm not opposed to such a feature. This board has (at the time of writing this post) almost 1.5 million posts and around 1000+ people actively browsing at any given time. The effects of any new feature, no matter how small, will be amplified exponentially with that much usage. Pros and cons must be heavily weighed.

That being said, this board does run on phpBB and they have a list of supported extensions. Unless TDF wants to roll-their-own then it's gotta be listed there. To all the ambitions ones among us, you can even vote for new features in the phpBB Ideas forum. Hard to say if anything voted on in there would eventually propagate its way into our TDF forum, but at least you've done everything within your power at that point :P

But to answer your question! Possible? Yes. Likely? I'm not in a position to answer.

it has been brought up numerous times before and IIRC is not something that TDF wants to implement, this isn't Facebook or Twitter.

Having said that, as kklouz mentioned, phpbb also does not have this system anyway so the situation is kinda moot anyway.
