    I like the balance thanks is at now. It's enough to give a bit of good vibes to someone in a nice way, without leading to thanks whoring.

    At the end of the day, we've had a reputation-system built into our brains. If we've seen someone posting ****e on the one hand or seen them post things we thought was insightful or funny on the other then even if we don't actually remember their username and avatar, it's subconsiously picked up the next time we're scanning a thread and we pay less or more attention respectively. It's been working for many millennia, and it works well.

    E-Bay benefits from a rep system, but deals with a very different situation where you may be doing business with someone you've never come across before. Further, the rep is about what someone is like in a particular context, whereas the same post someone thought was worth thanking might be why you consider putting them on your ignore list.

    Wait, what if you could run out of "thanks"? If you had a max of 3 per day to spend. It would make it a much more meaningful gesture.
    Yes , wonderful idea .That way you only use it for maximum effect and like gold it's value increases :)


    Thanks to oretes I am getting nearer my 200 thanked post's mark ;)

    It was enabled for a while. I see where you're coming from but it probably just leads to thanks whoring.

    I know the same can be said about post count but post count is handy for mods. Meh.

    Thats exactly what happens.

    I moderate on a hardcore bodybuilding site which runs a similar system and the whoring is insufferable.

    What would be great is a "thanked within this forum" thing. Would work very well for the smaller ones.

    Er people, you can go into your CP and turn on your Thanks Count, at the moment the default is "off", just tick the "Display Thanks Count" box, and hey presto

    We'll have to set up a Think Thank to investigate Des's claim.
