Hi all,
Just an admin reminder about giving "Thanks". There is a right way to do it, and a wrong way.
We have this enabled on the board to you can show appreciation to your fellow members when they make good, informative, helpful posts. You "thank" them.

This is the right way to do it. Now I know many members use this as an "I Agree" button, well that's fine too. But please bear in mind what you are agreeing with. If the person is making a statement that you agree with, well by all means give him/her a cyber "high-five" with the "Thanks" button.
But if a person is ragging on another member, I would suggest NOT "high fiving" this member because this is "mobbing" and is totally uncool.
Imagine being in a room with the members of the forum. Someone makes a comment directed at you stating "You have no idea what you're talking about. You're a moron - get a life." and people start high-fiving this member - how would you feel?
This is not something you'd do in person; please don't do it in the forum.
In essence, use some discretion when thanking your fellow members.
Thanks!
