    I think mine might be disabled. Somebody try to give me thanks and take it away?


  • Registered Users Posts: 43,907 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Yep.. yours is disabled alright Tar (so is rbd).

    Can't give you thanks.

    Believe me, I tried :)

    I can't thank rbd either, but CAN thank Mr M.

    Looks like some are more equal than others.

    You only get 10 every 24 hours don't you?

    Damn. I'm sorry CuLT. It was all in good fun, just an excuse to beat up the Irish.

    It's a strange one alright. Maybe there is a receiving limit. Maybe Cult doesn't want you to get too big an ego? :p

    Far too late ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Note that starting a thread looking for thanks, or adding a "Why didn't anyone thank me" post and so on to a thread, may result in a ban and/or infraction from the forum moderator.

    Enforcement is at the discretion of the forum mod, YMMV, etc.


  • Subscribers Posts: 32,855 ✭✭✭✭5starpool


    Has this changed in some form? I can still see the button to give thanks (be to your deity), and I can still see who has thanked a person. I can't see how often someone has been thanked though but I could this morning. Has this bit of it been removed? No harm if it has, but just interested.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,097 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    I can't see any of it any more.


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,775 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    Thanks, but no thanks?


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,847 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    what the hell?

    The "thanked x times in x posts" bit has been removed from below your avatar in a bid to reduce thanks-whoring and competition.

    My crystal ball is humming along nicely, at least.

    Is there going to be a feature added on boards.ie -> Top Statistics where you can view who has recieved the most thanks?

    Thank you :)

    It should result in a forum-ban and continuous doing so would result in a site-ban. There should be a no-tolerance about it, really.

    May be sounding naive here, but why not? Or is there no reason really.


  • Registered Users Posts: 40,867 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Can I have my 'thanks' option back please?


  • Registered Users Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus

    Because this isn't a feature to be used for "scoring" people. By evaluting and listing peoples' "thanks scores", you encourage whoring and posting just to get thanks.

    Both rep and karma were ruined because people spammed purely to get more.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,322 ✭✭✭Hitchhiker's Guide to...


    you can still see thanks received in your profile.

    Thats a fair point. I hadn't realised that.

    What Xavi6 meant to say was, would you please give the Thanks option back to Tar.Aldarion, I love him so.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    I like that you can no longer see the thanks. This may actually work.

    Yep.. I agree.

    The 'Thanks' message under the avatar was a bit daft, and would have been prone to "whoooooooring"!

    You still see it below all the posts. It's just gone from below the avatar.

    Would there be a neater way of putting it in maybe the bar that has post number, timestamp etc? It might make the 'thread flow' easier to read instead of having it in a box of its own below the post.
