1. Lack of multi quoting.

2. Being returned to the list of threads after a post instead of directly to your post in the thread (did I miss a setting?)

Otherwise, I personally like a controlled rep system, and I like that the site is quick and responsive.

I do think a thank or rep system would be fitting. We could control it on totse, on zoklet, and we will be able to control it here.
No negative, only positive.

False

One example is the faggot hazza who made a complete and utter mockery of the system by abusing it to suit his own deranged brit-fag ego

Needs moar CP
 
And kitty smilies. We need those animated kitty smilies that zoklet had before unwyred had them removed.

They were probably removed because theyre gay an a horrible idea. The only use for them would be to identify all the fags that are posting

Some of the more controversial things (like a Thanks system) will require a vote .

My biggest complaint so far, is you are actually considering this whole Thanks/Rep idea and wavering on your initial thoughts in what is listed in the FAQ. Your initial gut reaction is NOT wrong, so don't succumb to a handful of people whining about needing some e-validation by such a cheap and cheesy concept. All it does is encourage lesser quality posting and clique-ish nonsense, NOT edgy and informational discourse.

People can go all over the internet to other places for their thanks/likes...this is one of the few places any more that is different, don't fall prey to these weak arguments by mostly weak people that this issue is so desperately "needed". Seriously, if someone actually stops posting or feels their Sanctuary experience is actually "lessened" because of the lack of a Thanks button, exactly what kind of quality poster or person were they to begin with?

Like you said in the FAQ...

I have seen a whole lot of rep systems in my time on the 'netz and all of them have been retarded. A normal rep system where it keeps a total of all the rep you earned leads to reputation spam. A thanks system where it only keeps track of the thanks given to each post is hardly better.

What it leads to is friends upvoting each other just because they're friends, funny posts getting thanked instead of the more smart and thoughtful posts, posts getting upvoted because it tells people what they want to hear instead of what they should be hearing, and posts deserving of upvotes not getting them simply because they're on the last page of posts and some users TL;DRing all posts past the first or second pages. Not to mention the small amounts of drama it causes when someone gets a lot of or all the upvotes and another doesn't, no matter how intelligent or well they conduct themselves simply because of something that happened in the past and people are holding a grudge...


All of those thoughts are STILL very much on point. Just go back to all the other failed forums like Zoklet, and witness the "quality" of poster that usually leads the Thanks count. Do you really want a website filled with a bunch of Viziers, or are you shooting for something much bigger and brighter than that???

I'm with DaGuru on this one. It was nice having over a thousand thanks on zoklet, but I don't think the system did the site too many favours in terms of content. I seem to recall a lot of shitposts getting thanked.

And how do you see one or even a few idiots ruining a system that does nothing but boost ego's and should represent a good post?
Will you cry if an idiot spam thanked your posts?  It doesn't matter if the post is actually good, because there's no global list of thanked posts that you can look up on if interested.  And even on zoklet the thanked options was mostly just used to see your own thanked posts.  Nobody will die if a useless posts gets thanked!  And it doesn't stop good posts from getting thanked either.
I never went through someone elses thanked posts and even if i did, i would quickly switch back if i found them to be crap.  My day doesn't end.
Hell i wouldn't even get bothered the slightest. If you have a problem with crappy posts getting thanked ( which by the way comes down to the individual's taste ), and a few kidiots playing around thanking themselves with alts, then i suggest you move.

Obviously though, there are countermeassures to ensure people can't thank without having made a specific amount of posts/threads. Its just a matter of what system we're going for.
