Obviously only for positive feedback, but we have a command /praise in Slack at Reddit. This let's you acknowledge someone quickly for a good job, and the results are collected into a channel and into Small Improvements, which is the heavier performance review system we use. It actually gets used quite a bit!

I can see that having a small command would make it easier to give positive feedback (which is important, since negative feedback has a much heavier emotional weight), but have you noticed any devaluing of positive feedback due to how easy or common it is to give it?
