We FINALLY Have a Viable Thanks System Available

[starvingniglet]

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?

[Arnox]

Is there a max per day?

No. No limit.

No. No limit.

Would it be against the rules to thank every post in this thread for no reason?

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.

Yet another great example to be setting for the website, and a wonderful way to entice people to stick around for adult discourse.

Eh... Undecided for the future but it's fine for now I suppose. Go crazy.

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?

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 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? 

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.

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.
