Title: "Thanks" Button or something of the like - Suggestion
Post by: Soso0 on September 01, 2014, 06:57:12 pm
Hello Soso0 here I recently migrated from Zoklet and still trying to get used to the site. What struck me as odd was that there was no way to thank or upvote someones comment. I know this is not Zoklet but a completely different site but I think it would be a great feature to add and something EVERYONE can benefit from.

I agree

Not only implemented, but transferable.

Don't worry about checked, I had about 3,256 thanks.

Transfer plz.

We could just add our own likes. Zoklet is a honorable crowd that can handle the honor system.

A Thanks system would not be good at all because it's inaccurate about 3/4ths of the time. Some posts get thanked simply because a user or users like each other. More intelligent deserving posts can be ignored in favor of a post that's simply really funny... It's not a good idea at all. Trust me.

Yeah I don't think a rep/thanks system really works here. Maybe a thread rating option and even then nobody really uses those or pays attention to them.

What you really need to do is remove abusable features like signatures, make pictures thumbnails, etc.

I have to agree I think people abuse the signatures to often Some of them take up half the screen and it gets to be bothersome after awhile

Nice thanks button bro!

Best idea yet! I could see the admin saying something about the fuck off button being abused or use towards members you dislike. I think it would be fun to have tho.

too true, I could even get ahold of any of the admin for some reason when i was trying to get an account some of them where just slipping and the ones trying could keep up or didnt have the power to make the changes needed

btw worst quoting system ever if you haven't heard. I'd be more worried about the functionality of your website and having scrolling texts and images in 15 line long signatures. But no, a REP SYSTEM is what doesn't make the forum work.

Features involving popularity end up being irrelevant/dysfunctional add-ons to forum discussion. The anonymous rep system on Totse was entertaining though. I think eBagger does raise a worthwhile point that the way some things are displayed on this forum, sig's for example, would benefit from being altered/made more discreet or just nuked from orbit.

One for me is the highlighting on staff names. Arnox's red is OK, but the neon blue on Idio's is just fucking nasty. I appreciate this is small stuff in the big scheme of things ATM.

What is peoples obsession with Thanks?

If you want you can thank a post but don't have that thanks thing in the corner which shows a total of your thanks like a gay badge of honour.

the thanks feature is probably the most important feature in modern history. what better of a way for me to tell you that I agree with you, without necessarily having a bunch more shit to add to it. a THANKS is like a FIRM NOD OF THE HEAD, ya know? It's like 'YUP, WE JUST BECAME BEST FRIENDS!'

See normally I would've just thanked your post but instead I'm now forced to write this meaningless reply just to make it known that I agree with you.

You should all kill yourselves. No worthwhile discussion board in the history of the internet has had a successful 'rep' system. It always ends up getting abused and does not reliably distinguish members based on the quality of their contributions. If you hang around for a couple weeks and read posts, you'll develop a much better sense of who's knowledgeable and who's full of shit.

Having 'thanks' as a means of indicating your agreement with a certain perspective is also a stupid idea. It encourages laziness and discourages constructive thinking, because it allows people to lurk in threads until they find a post that closely matches their views, then offer up a digital hand job instead of adding their own ideas or explaining why they agree with said perspective.

Do not want.

Your eCock seems swollen, fat and meaty but I'm RisiR. I only said 50k to not make you feel inadequate. In reality it's more like a Googolplex amount of first class content posts. I'm basically what's left from the internet when you cut off all the bullshit and gay porn. RisiR.

I also must down vote the thanks button unless it is made discrete. Anonymous and thread specific. Carrying around your 'look how many people suck my cock' badge is annoying and pointless but if the thanks never left the thread and was simply a number I wouldn't have a problem with it.
