I think there should be a "Thanks" button so for example if someone writes up a good tutorial or an article, other users have the ability to "Thank" the author of that post OR if someone finds a random post useful, they can "Thank" that user that posted that post.
Don't add this shit onto DP. It will clog up the already cluttered layout and it doesn't nothing but allow users to circle jerk each other until their screens are white. Have a look at Blackhatworld's forums and tell me if you think their layout is uncluttered.
It serves the same purpose as the Facebook Like and reputation function which are already here, so...
Why is that exactly? All you have to do is click the reputation button. How would a thank button be easier than a click?
We can't decide how good an individual reply is using the reputation. A thanks button will solve teh problem.
not necessary to add thanks button, the function is same as reputation, and not many of the member are using it
Nowdays i don't see people spreading much rep around. When i ask someone about how many rep points they have they first tell their itrader count and when i say rep is different from itrader they have no clue what reputation system is.
