We FINALLY Have a Viable Thanks System Available

[Bewbees]

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.

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

[equanimity]

Woo go Arnox!  This is great

Counters are cool, but mostly I just want buttons to press.

[mashleshmash]

WHEN will this feature be available?

[equanimity]

Yeah Arnox wtf.  It's literally been hours now; why is this taking so long?

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.
