Do you want a Thanks system which also counts the total number of thanks on the board and displays them in every user's posts?
-
How about a "Like" system? A spur of the moment kinda thing. Way better!
EDIT: Just like they have on Facebook. This way people can't like4like each other because it doesn't hold any value except for just that one post.

I'd like a thanks system, i feel like thats something big this forums missing

Do you mean people can only like the OP or... ? How does this differentiate from a Thanks system?

I think a thanks system would add some more fun to the site

I think he means where you can like a post but it doesnt count towards anything. I could see where it would be nice because you could "thanks" for something just because it was lulzy or informative and doesnt count towards anything other than showing appreciation for that singular post.

Arnox has mentioned that there isn't a system available that wouldn't aggregate a total number of thanks/likes/(verbiage isn't as important), or else it probably would have been implemented.
-
E is right and damn Idio just ruined my dreams. Thanks, man. THANKS.
Also, I go with "no" then instead of "Maybe" but I already voted.
-
I hit maybe at first but i want one fo sho
-
I think it's a good idea. Regardless of calling it thanks or like or karma or...
But on a post to post basis, not just the OP or something. Just a lil something to show a poster that you appreciated his/her post for some reason. If it's shown in a profile this could be useful i think (sets real contributers apart). Then again: a good deed (post) is it's own reward so... not so relevant to me.
As for the % of total 'likes'... i don't really see the added value of that.

I voted yes.

(sets real contributers apart)
Unfortunately as we have seen in the past a system like this is subject to promotion abuse by trolls rather than accurately gauging a posters contribution quality. Thats the problem I have with a thanks system that records how many thanks you have because it becomes a game for a small minority to give each other an inordinate amount of thanks.
-
I vote in favor of punishment for misuse of the thanks button
-
Didn't we already discuss this. I voted no, again.
Although if we are going to get one, have it only positive, no negative, caz down vote spamming is so kidiot. Also make it so you only get 1 thank every, say, 50 posts. That way 1) throwaway alts can't thank spam 2)thanks will mean more and 3) it might help promote activity or at least make people work for their thanks.

Let's just sit back and watch Arnox fuck this up as well.
-
You should only be able to give thanks with 30+ votes and only say 5 a day.
-
You are the chosen one Arnox dont fuck this up

Disagree. People tend to only thank/like retarded insults n dumb shit.
Intelligence is rarely thanked. Boobs always thanked.
-
Very true Umbrella Corps, i like your idea for only contributing members being able to thanks i think it should be considered by the mods. I think with this sites users a hard to abuse button is very needed.
-
It's definitely the big thing this site is missing. Should it be regulated? I'm on the fence on that one.

This is all too true. Im wondering if we could do it where 50 posts = 1 thanks to give so you have to make them count but I wouldn't be surprised if shitposting went up just so people could stockpile thanks. But then again who are we to dictate what one should be thanked for? I mean ideally thanks would be given to quality contributions and act as a way to showcase good posts. But if that isnt how the user wants to use it what is the point? It really only worth doing it all the way and letting the users decide what is worth thanking or not doing at all.
I would wonder if there is a way we could implement a feature that works like thanks allowing users to say "thanks for making me laugh" or "thanks for making me think" (kind of a range from like for lolz or like for content etc) and whatever the user puts dictates the priority of the post. I.e. we could have a system that sidebars posts thanked for content and originality while posts that were just good shit and lulzy stay thanked but not promoted.
Just flowing ideas here.

Its better to have no system then one thats been exploited by dick heads which tend to make up most of this site.
-
Poll settings edited. You may now change your vote if you'd like.
-
How about a thanks button that adds to your total thanks like thanks for the content and a like for a particular post
-
Sounds kinda redundant really and the Likes would still have totals.
