We FINALLY Have a Viable Thanks System Available

[Arnox]

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 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

[Bewbees]

Whats the point then? on zoklet it definitely helped me to see them

[Spectre]

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

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.
