Question about the "thanking" post

2. Each post will give 1 thx creadit. So the more post the more credits.
Each user will receive 4 thx creadits each month.
If a user sayes thx in a post the thx credit is transfered to the user that was thxed. In this way we will have a type of economical thx credits. (referal signup to new users gives 5 thx credits, wow thx casino referal bonus :-) )

3. Leave it as it is. To much work to do the others in this list, go have a beer instead.

4. rep based, if i give away one thx credit i will loose one rep point.


And if didnt keep you busy, you would probably be on the Bahamas drinking beer and having fun, and we cant allow that :-) Couse if we cant then you cant, now back to work... :-)

Satchmo the man the myth the man who slings idea's.

......agree on the beer anyway...

(thumbs up image) 5 (thumbs down image) 1

to show that 5 people agreed with the post and 1 didn't. i think this is implemented for comments on youtube video's. it will allow people to say if they agree or not and the thanks button can just be left for informative posts.

I like that.

But I also think the thanks is nice, I use it when I think someone contributed something worthwhile and also when I agree and have nothing to add. It's nice to be able to express both with just a keystroke.

Maybe the scales for the "great post" and the thanks for "I agree and have nothing to add".

Really, I think it's fine the way it is, as long as no one runs around and adds thanks everywhere just for the heck of it. It would be a shame to curtail everyone because a few are going overboard with something.

Kind of like making gambling illegal because a few go overboard with it....

I must say I like the first of Satchmo's options (other than the obvious attraction of option 3 LOL!!!)

This would work like a budget - if you have a finite number of "thank you credits" (perhaps based on criteria such as length of membership or reputation at the start of the scheme or whatever) it should result in more considered awards of thanks.

That said, I think Dom makes a good point in her final two paragraphs above.

I say if you want to give Thanks in the thread give it to them.



If I Thank someone is that going to build up where I can get a Car,Boat,House,Cash?
Hey I got it "A Free Trip On Bingo T's Bus"

I also like the thought of the 2 buttons ...the thanks and the agree one...that way it separates the two issues being written about...one for a query being answered and one for an important issue brought to our attention that we might have missed otherwise...just my 2.5 cents worth...

Good Manners in my book also.
Do we also get a Gold Star if we been good Boys & Girls too?

Or a Service Banner
I want one because my wife is a B lol she's got one.

Once again to muck it up, if you have agree and a dissagree button, then you would have to have neutral button also.

Couse if you read some of the post maybe i dont agrre or disagrre, but i would like to be neutral in the matter. If this button dont exist then my count dosent counts as much as the agree or dissagree buttons.

The way we can go is to use the rep point system, couse then we can give and take rep points and if i have no opinion n the matter, well then i dont give or take any rep points.


By the this text was written i could run for presidency, couse i think no one will really know what i mean, and thats what politics is about. Talk like it's important, and everyone is lisening, but you just say bork bork.
