Is there any way to find which posts of ours have been thanked, like "Thanked posts by this user" did on Zoklet?

If not, it should be modded, if possible, when you have the time. Can't use it for feedback if I can't easily find which posts were thanked.

lol this is the worst thanks system I've ever seen. You say you want it like facebook where you can't see the history of your likes unless you go to your posts, but...

UNLIKE FACEBOOK, IT DOESNT EVEN NOTIFY YOU WHEN YOU GET THE THANKS LOL

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU FAIL SO HARD, I CANT GET OVER THIS HAHAHA

Unfortunately no but I may be able to modify another mod that allows one to do so.

Yeah with all due respect this thanks system isn't effective. Not only can no we not see which of our own posts was thanked without scrolling through, (which means we'll never know about older ones unless we're complete feigns who check every comment we've ever made) and as has been mentioned, we need to see the amount of thanks a person has received without having to click on their profile. If those are complicated modifications to make, well fuck, make them anyway. It'll be worthwhile for the site, I promise. mmmmthankssomuch

I'll look into getting a Thanks history but why does one need to see the amount of thanks a person has received without having to click on their profile? It's done like that so the scramble to be Thanked doesn't dominate forum topics and discussions. When people have to put in even just a tiny bit of effort to see one's number of Thanks, the number becomes much less important and there's no excessive focus on getting Thanks anymore and it also discourages Thanks spamming.

I think you're looking at it wrong but again it's your site to run. What attracted me to zoklet, personally, was being able to see the thanks differentials between people, without having to click on them all individually. In a sense, I'm sure it was a popularity deal of sorts, which can never be avoided, but at the same time it gave me a good idea of who was who.


But seriously it's just becauze its kewler to flaunt it than to have to clik.

You have the Zoklet userbase. This was never a significant problem on Zoklet.

And by your reasoning you should remove post count, because it increases post-spamming.

Except post spamming is against the rules.

Irrelevant; does spam never occur just because you've made a rule about it? No.

And you've avoided my main point:

Actually it is relevant. Any post spamming is very easily found and moderated, thus stopping it completely in the end. Thanks has no such restrictions on it.

I'd have to be there to say for sure. And that was then. This is now. And also, I plan to have more members than just past Zoklet members in the future.

Is post-spam's visibility altered by rules? No; it's an inherent feature of post spam. And have you completely stopped spamming by having a rule against it? *Checks the ever-growing banlist*. Hmm, didn't think so. And the post count doesn't just limit itself to encouraging spam in order to increase the 'score'. Low content posts and shitposts bump up the post count very nicely. That's not beneficial to the site, but the public post count remains. This is inconsistent with your view on the alleged negative aspects of a public thanks-count.

And if this alleged thanks-spamming is so difficult to detect in the first place, where you have total thanks displayed makes no logical difference; you won't be able to notice any significant change anyway. You have no idea if widespread thanks abuse is already occuring. Besides your personal assertion to the contrary there's no reason to think that a 'extra click' makes any difference at all.

You have the Zoklet userbase. This was never a significant problem on Zoklet.

I'd have to be there to say for sure.

Are none of us competent or trustworthy enough to convince you otherwise?

And that was then. This is now.

I know what the timeline is, thank you.

And also, I plan to have more members than just past Zoklet members in the future.

As you point out... this is now. That's the future.

Unless your future objective is to recruit a userbase that is so shitty it will abuse the thanks system, I don't see what the problem is.
