Suggestion Thanks, Like & Dislike Buttons?

Hi

is it possible to have like a thanks, like and dislike button where the user can thank someone etc by clicking the button which then appears under the post. will keep threads cleaner instead of users saying thanks etc.

will make another read through posts more easily, instead of reading thanks thanks thanks, you get my idea?

and by clicking thanks and like the user's reputation rises?

just a suggestion. your feedback please?

 

People are asking Shawn to add 'Thank You Button' for long time now but....
cutting at least 50% of spam/infractions/bans is not on his priorities list.

i think its a really good idea and will save the admin(s)/mods alot of time. will make the place even more better as well. Encourage users not to just thanks or spam in anyway.

 

In ideal world maybe but...
people should use "Star" button and yet thousands of them continue posting
"good info", "I agree, good point" etc. instead of just using that option.

ah well i guess if they post and keep within the rules then its good.

im sure somewhere in the future the site will go from strength to strength

 

ah right, well i know it takes alot of time and effort in to improving the site, good luck though when you get round to having a look

 

Well , I personally hate "Thanks" button , It sucks . It only destroys the threads . Just take a look at BHW threads , You have to scroll down the page for almost 5 mins to see human posts

 

yeah if they can make these buttons look with the site by integrating them well in the site, there is no reason for not having them here

 

It could be on the line right beneath your signature where the IP, star and ! buttons are. Just next to it.

With a link between the brackets

 

If you ask me, then groundless brainstorming sucks.

Dah...that is exactly why thank you button is needed.
It will stop trolls and spammers from posting stupid and useless posts.

Lol , It may help , But again I believe this button is unnecessary

Does it really stop spammers ? Well , There are thousands of web forums installed this button , Can't you find any "spam" or junk post ?!

Actually I think the best solution is following this rule :

@ Shawn : Why do you want to install it after so many years ?

 

Well, I don't think that some fucking morons care about little star or even know what it's for
but if they see instead "Thank you" button, then they will know that making thank you post
will automatically guarantee them infraction and think twice before posting another useless post.

The current reputation system works quite fine if mods would nuke all the inadequate replies it would be even finer .

 

YES.. It is a secret thanks button ( or I HATE YOU button if situation demands )

 

Don't tell me that rep will be removed and all the green blobs will go away.
