So, after much requests, I took another look at the Thanks mod I was originally looking at that did do Thanks but listed how many Thanks you have in every one of your posts and your profile.
BUT... After some researching and tinkering for a while, I have configured it to not display the total at all with every post you make and I can configure it even further to not display the total even in one's profile.
So the question now is... Do we want to display a total amount of Thanks one has in one's profile or just turn it off completely?
Both are fine to me personally as long as the Thanks total isn't displayed at all in every freaking post. That's all I really cared about.
-
Thanks
-
Display.
-
Display it dog, cus I am about to go full circlejerk on this bitch.
-
Display it, Im also warming my palms for this circle jerk
-
It is so good to hear it.
-
Thanks is meaningless unless it is displayed. How am I supposed to increase my ego if people don't see how pretty and popular I am?

Just so everyone's clear actually, Thanks will be displayed per post as you saw it on Zoklet but the total number that would be under everyone's profile avatar in everyone's post will not be displayed. You'll have to go to someone's profile to see it. That is, you'll be able to see the total number on their profile page if you vote to display it.

Great decision! That'll really make this site a waaaay better place compared to if we saw the thanks total. You rock.
Does anyone else think Arnox rocks, guys?
-
So you wont be able to tell how much total votes someone has just by looking at there posts?
-

no. arnox is worried that people might get their feelings hurt or something, if people compete for 'thanks' totals
-
Whats the point then? on zoklet it definitely helped me to see them
-
Whats the point then?
This it seems like a silly system
I have to say you really are looking just for what you want Arnox especially since that last thread was fairly positive for a blanket thanks system that would display them on posts
-
Whats the point then? on zoklet it definitely helped me to see them
IDK, I guess he is instituting the thanks system because the users convinced him to, but he is still trying to weasel out of having the totals shown, for whatever reason....
if you have kept up with this issue, you would remember how he was going to institute thanks like a month or two ago, but didn't, because every system he was going to use kept totals of amount of thanks.
he claims that having totals kept encourages 'shitposting' and 'popularity contests'...theoretical outcomes that, while possible, are not indicative of reality, and indicate to me that either arnox is somewhat delusional, or he has some other reason to not want 'thanks totals'...I leave it to your imagination as to what those reasons are
-
I say let people display them in their profile.
My opinion on the display of them in posts- Silly and pointless. I like the idea of "these users like your post". I don't like the idea of this sort of meter that people want to just raise and raise just to display, it's just fucking vain. Like the number actually signifies anything. Not a fan of the post count or stars or titles on profiles either for that matter.

I agree with you but this is now the third poll about thanks that has come up with shifted goal posts on the topic of thanks with every poll going the opposite way of the way Arnox wanted it to go it's getting tedious
this keeps going on over and over again
-
Has there been a vote on whether or not to display total thanks?

the second poll on thanks which was started today had displayed thanks as what was available and people were voting for that system then he made this poll a few hours later

I thought that was the case, it would be lame of Arnox to leave them out.

this is what I want too
I do think it is funny and informative to watch arnox squirm and seethe and worry about 'thanks totals' or whatever
-

I just find it ridiculous how he keeps moving the goal posts around constantly seriously 2 polls on this in a few hours is silly he also keeps making the pools have a maybe sorta kinda option which makes no sense and simply muddies the voting
like really what does Doesn't matter have to do on this poll it serves no purpose other than having a spare column to justify swinging the decision to what he wants it's an underhanded and childish tactic
-

He is going to keep having polls and votes until he gets the results he wants
-
Who gives a fuck, really? Does it really matter?
You niggers are squirming all the same as he is- he's just trying to do what the community wants while still being big boss.
It's niggery.
Everybody get naked RIGHT NOW
or else

I fail to see how I'm squirmy about it and if he was doing what the community wanted we wouldn't have 3 polls on this it's a poor way to run a forum is all

I think my point has been proven. You're all WORMS.
-
You're all WORMS.
just us two, or everyone?

Thanks Arnox for finding a solution that fits everyone's requests. There's so much flip-flopping going on, it would be hard to interpret what the majority truly wants.
Regarding why Arnox doesn't want the total displayed next to each post, I think he is somewhat equating to a system similar to Facebook. On FB, user can show an appreciate for a post with a simple 'like' without putting out the effort of constructing a comment, but total 'likes' accumulated are not tracked. By not tracking the total likes or thanks received, it doesn't place a biased importance, unimportance, relevancy, or irrelevancy on a user's post outside of its own merits.
Thanks for what you, Arnox.
-
Yes thanks Arnox for working this out. However i feel the majority of users would like and benefit from having a visible thanks counter. Thank you
-
I like the thing where it says the username of the person who thanked the post.
One could use the thanks system to identify with certain statements made in posts, political or otherwise
Or could like a post to show overt solidarity with another user
Or could show agreement with the contents of a post without having to make a whole post just to say 'me too'
I am sure I could come up with other reasons but some is talking to me in real life so I can't think atm
tl/dr? Having one's name attached to 'thanks' is a lot better than just anonymous 'thanks totals' for various reasons
-

Hm? Yeah, names will be attached to Thanks just as before. As I said, the total number of Thanks one has been given on the forum however will be restricted to one's profile page.
-

That is fine with me, and seems like a good compromise, but then why did you make a poll about it if the results are going to be ignored? By making these polls, are you just trying to gauge opinion before you make a decision, or what?
-
Oh, wow, Arnox can actually do stuff.
I like this idea, it'll cut down on moronic thinks like thank parties. I value the data thanks give, the feedback on posts, what people respond to, the data it can give on individuals.
-
People joke about how they need thanks displayed on their posts to feed their egos haha but it's really not a joke.
The only reason for thanks to be displayed on every post is to show them off n look "impressive". Lame as fuck. I guess that's just the age we live in now, where what is considered talented, funny, or smart is what has the most likes. Pathetic.
-
Halle-fucking-lujah.
I knew this was coming.

this is what I'm saying is all it's just seems really flippy floppy with the amount of polls we've had on this and the minimum visibility it has had before anything was implemented
like I said this thread was made hours after have a vote on a different thanks system it's ass backwards in how this is being handled is all
-
Woo go Arnox! This is great :)
Counters are cool, but mostly I just want buttons to press.
-
WHEN will this feature be available?
-
Yeah Arnox wtf. It's literally been hours now; why is this taking so long? :frown:

I think you're still a little confused. Right now we're voting on when (not if) we put in the Thanks system, do we want the total amount of Thanks that one has on the forum to be displayed on one's profile page? If not, there will be no way to find out the total number of Thanks one has on the forum. Only per post.
WHEN will this feature be available?
Now.
he recruited me into mormonism
And many will soon follow once I've brainwashed them.
-
I think you're still a little confused
I guess I am...thought there was a poll asking if thanks should be shown in posts or just in profile. can't find it now. Confused? yes. On drugs? yes. So, it is hard to tell which is responsible.
-
Is there a max per day?

No. No limit.

Would it be against the rules to thank every post in this thread for no reason?
-
Is there a max per day?
No. No limit.
Which makes it an even more USELESS feature than it already is. In theory, the purpose to thanks is expressing a post that you REALLY like. Well if someone can literally go around and thank every single post they read, its a pointless commodity with absolutely ZERO worth. Like walking around the desert handing out spoonfuls of sand. I was always opposed to any concept of a thanks/like system, but having unlimited thanks makes it as irrelevant and pointless as it could be.

Perhaps you should go on a hunger fast to prove your point to arnox.
-
When more new people start registering I'm gonna pick one to follow around and thank every single one of their posts. They'll be like, "wtf??"

No matter what type of thanks/like system that would have been initiated, you won't find me thanking any posts.....just like I did on Zoklet. I'm here to to share discussion via text, not just click buttons out of cheesy laziness. 8)

YOU are the one "wanting the world to burn" if you think playing yet another immature game out of your constant pursuit of attention whoring is a good idea while stalking/weirding out new members. Fuck the website, and fuck a n00bs experience/outlook on Sanctuary, as long as you are "having funnnnnnnn" that's all that matters, right Zek?

man you better be showing them thanks totals up in hurr. don't nobody wanna click on no mothafuckin profile page to see them shits. i wanna know I'm talking to a popular nigga right off the gizzy.
-

Unlimited daily thanks. That renders 'thanks' near pointless. And nitpicking over where the information is displayed doesn't change the fact that the information is easily available. Why didn't you just install the same system that was on Zoklet? It worked... as I have painstakingly explained to you. Or do your irrational fears and petulant attitude (http://www.intosanctuary.com/index.php?topic=4191.150;topicseen) regarding thanks systems mean this half-assed compromise is as good as it'll ever get?
How long will it be before you pull the plug on the thanks system because people are abusing the unlimited feature, which never existed on the Zoklet version for good reason?
Will you then tell me that thanks was a stupid idea all along? :facepalm:

Thanks for what you, Arnox.
The FB system is relevant to FB, not here. Arnox has already played the irrelevant comparison hand. What is relevant in this case is what happened on Zoklet, of which Arnox appears to know precious little about, so his ass gets sore when any reference to it is made.

If you see a lot of importance in limiting the amount of daily Thanks people get, here's the mod right here:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3898
You can extract the files and code in a new feature that will let an admin specify how many Thanks people can give per day.
-
Thanks have always been pointless, Slave. It's not like they're internet currency we can buy stuff with, or anything. They exist simply to exist, and we accumulate them for the sake of it.
But yeah people are probably going to abuse the unlimited feature. It's pretty funny :P
-
lol, gay
-
Thanks is fun, and as Idio said with no negative rep it shouldn't cause problems. Never did any harm on Zoklet.

People usually promote things they think are worthwhile. You promote that which you think is "pointless". Bearing that in mind, write a 500 word essay that discusses the question 'Am I a silly tit?'.

You don't know how to do it, do you? Too bad I'm not here to fix your problems. That's why you have (in your case, lots of) staff.
Even Equanimity appreciates the potential flaw. Maybe he can help you.

At least you haven't denied you have problems. Maybe there's some hope for you after all. That aside Arnox, the only thing that matters is that what I say can be justified; if you can sensibly explain why it isn't then I'll have nothing left to say.
And if you don't like being the person with whom the buck stops then why did you set up a website and invite the Totse/Zoklet crowd in? If you thought the outcome was going to be just like totse2, only with you in charge, then I think by now you've realized that was a mistake.

Not really. The ability of a regular user to rectify the decisions of an admin is essentially zero.

Zoklet's thanks looked better because it was more noticeable but I guess this will have to do for now.

Finally feels like zoklet, now that you added a thanks system this site doesn't feel like oblivion anymore.

-
It shows (loosely) your contributions to the community and gives incentive for higher quality posts with better content. It's obviously not a perfect system but just having a name at the bottom of the post is a pointless mod if there is no further record of it. If someone was so inclined to thank a post, why couldn't they just post themselves?
-
There's no way to look up what posts of ares were thanked? Other than manually sifting thru threads we posted in?
-
Thank my post or die.
To answer the person above me, yes, look at their profile.

DO not fucking address me.
And you are wrong, nice reading comprehension.

I was going to ask about that, but didn't want to complicate things. Profile links that show:
"Thanked posts by this user"
"Posts thanked by this user"
I think it was worded like that. On the topic of profile elements, I've been wondering about:
"Threads created by this user"
"Current activity"
We have "show posts" and "show stats," but that would round it out. One thing at a time though.
I wonder what you wonder...

Fixed.

I've been wondering about:

"Current activity"
You can see all the threads one has created by clicking on "Show Posts" and then clicking on the "Topics" tab.
Current activity can be seen by clicking on the Who's Online link and looking at the list.
And I might be able to modify another more expansive mod. I don't know. We'll see.

Can we reverse thanks?
-
Is there any way to find which posts of ours have been thanked, like "Thanked posts by this user" did on Zoklet?
If not, it should be modded, if possible, when you have the time. Can't use it for feedback if I can't easily find which posts were thanked.
-
check this out malice ^^^^
eeeh never mind, I guess you are talking about something different.
-
Now can we get a "No thanks" button?
:laugh:
-
lol this is the worst thanks system I've ever seen. You say you want it like facebook where you can't see the history of your likes unless you go to your posts, but...
UNLIKE FACEBOOK, IT DOESNT EVEN NOTIFY YOU WHEN YOU GET THE THANKS LOL
HOW THE FUCK DO YOU FAIL SO HARD, I CANT GET OVER THIS HAHAHA

Yeah with all due respect this thanks system isn't effective. Not only can no we not see which of our own posts was thanked without scrolling through, (which means we'll never know about older ones unless we're complete feigns who check every comment we've ever made) and as has been mentioned, we need to see the amount of thanks a person has received without having to click on their profile. If those are complicated modifications to make, well fuck, make them anyway. It'll be worthwhile for the site, I promise. mmmmthankssomuch

I'll look into getting a Thanks history but why does one need to see the amount of thanks a person has received without having to click on their profile? It's done like that so the scramble to be Thanked doesn't dominate forum topics and discussions. When people have to put in even just a tiny bit of effort to see one's number of Thanks, the number becomes much less important and there's no excessive focus on getting Thanks anymore and it also discourages Thanks spamming.

I think you're looking at it wrong but again it's your site to run. What attracted me to zoklet, personally, was being able to see the thanks differentials between people, without having to click on them all individually. In a sense, I'm sure it was a popularity deal of sorts, which can never be avoided, but at the same time it gave me a good idea of who was who.
But seriously it's just becauze its kewler to flaunt it than to have to clik.

You have the Zoklet userbase. This was never a significant problem on Zoklet.
And by your reasoning you should remove post count, because it increases post-spamming.

Irrelevant; does spam never occur just because you've made a rule about it? No.
And you've avoided my main point:
You have the Zoklet userbase. This was never a significant problem on Zoklet.

Actually it is relevant. Any post spamming is very easily found and moderated, thus stopping it completely in the end. Thanks has no such restrictions on it.

I'd have to be there to say for sure. And that was then. This is now. And also, I plan to have more members than just past Zoklet members in the future.

Is post-spam's visibility altered by rules? No; it's an inherent feature of post spam. And have you completely stopped spamming by having a rule against it? *Checks the ever-growing banlist*. Hmm, didn't think so. And the post count doesn't just limit itself to encouraging spam in order to increase the 'score'. Low content posts and shitposts bump up the post count very nicely. That's not beneficial to the site, but the public post count remains. This is inconsistent with your view on the alleged negative aspects of a public thanks-count.
And if this alleged thanks-spamming is so difficult to detect in the first place, where you have total thanks displayed makes no logical difference; you won't be able to notice any significant change anyway. You have no idea if widespread thanks abuse is already occuring. Besides your personal assertion to the contrary there's no reason to think that a 'extra click' makes any difference at all.

Are none of us competent or trustworthy enough to convince you otherwise?
And that was then. This is now.
I know what the timeline is, thank you.
And also, I plan to have more members than just past Zoklet members in the future.
As you point out... this is now. That's the future.
Unless your future objective is to recruit a userbase that is so shitty it will abuse the thanks system, I don't see what the problem is.

display it. thank this post if u agree
-
Haha, I really enjoyed the Futurama reference.. if that was what you were going for. Good times, good times. Oh, and I'm indifferent about the thanks display.. I'm not here very much anymore.

So now we have a like button? Not bad. It would be awesome to have it displayed it would for sure make me want to be more active
-
oh for fuck's sake
-
I liked the old thanks button better. This one kinda sucks.

Would thank, but...
