I too think that a "Disagree" function is better than a "Dislike" one. I also would not have the Like and Dislike buttons next to each other - I expect that some Dislikes are just sloppy-finger-syndrome.
I doubt the forum can force people to create a post if they use "dislike", but if that is possible that would be my preference. That offers a crowd-sourced solution - if every time anyone sees a "Dislike" and no corresponding post/explanation, then ask the user why they haven't posted one.
There may be a function / add-on for Admins that will identify systematic Dislike (or Like for that matter) posts by one user on another user's posts. Sites that have "Badges" for various things suffer from bogus registrations being used to Game the system ...
