Thank you for bringing that up!

I installed it earlier today as a trial.
Consider it a way to thank users and give them a reputation based on good posting with good information.

Might remove it, depends how well it's used.

Thanks for clearing that up

Just seemed to get in the way of reading posts for me; could there be a method of incrementing a person's tallys without posting to the thread?

[primtechsmith]

I am pretty much taking them as a joke......how many thanks can you get???? LOL.

Either way thanks or no thanks I will give credit where it is due by posting it or clinking the thanks button.

But I do see the distraction factor...

Hey Peyton. thanks for mentioning the button. I hadn't noticed it yet

Am sure I have thanked a few people and have likely been thanked in return. Seems a little silly to me running a tally. Was raised to say please and thank you. Just my opinion. Thanks but no thanks.

reputation measurements like these can be useful within a certain context, Ive also seen these systems reduced to mutual admiration societies as well

Ive seen them done in several ways, when I was a BB admin we didnt have a defined automated system, but often employed custom titles for certain members that held specific expertise.

They do provide a clue to helpfulness if not necessarily expertise. IMO I like them, provided they don't burden Vbull. (Which is why we didn't employ it but there where +50K members)
