Fwiw, there will be some testing tonight with the new system. If everything goes well, you should be able to thank others right soonly.
Ya think? maybe we can all behave in the sand box just this once?Hopefully you're prepared for a little "rebound abuse" of the thanks function short-term when it comes live again; now that you've drawn far more negative attention to it than existed 24hrs ago.
Or Hmmm... maybe there's a "New Coke" sort of guerilla marketing going on here?
Well to that I say, well it will fix the problem for now. If a future group decides to have fun with the Thanks button then have a discussion with them and tell them that they may cause the Thanks button to be removed. It's likely they would stop. If they don't, then the mods can deal with that at the time. It doesn't seem necessary to remove the Thanks button now because of a "what if" in the future.
It also goes back to the posts that several people have made of...so what if someone abuses the thanks button? Why do some people care so much?
I'm not arguing this as a former thanks button abuser who wants it back to use/abuse. I'm arguing this as someone who doesn't think it's fair that thousands of users lost their ability to use the Thanks button because of the actions of myself and a handful of others.
Take my thanks button away for all I care, but I think it should be returned to the majority of users.
OK, we may have found a way to re-integrate a newer version of the hack... it might mean a few changes here and there and it will probably reset everyone's thanks back to zero. Hang with us, as we try to integrate it.
Pete, thanks for reconsidering this. I'm still confused about why the thanking ability needs to be limited to 'serious' threads only, maybe you could explain?
You know Pete, it seems pretty appropriate to discuss forum rules publicly...in a forum. No one is decrying injustice, just trying to reasonably put in my $.02. I really hope this doesn't go all hair up and claws out, because it doesn't need to.
Personally I'm just trying to get 1) my annoyance across and 2) a clue about why this change was necessary. For me, it's a large change to how the board feels.
I'd sure like to see a "Thanks" explode ...

Maybe we can look for that Thanks button over here? Lost, Found and Stolen - ScubaBoard
As usual Pete, you are not worth a response. I will leave your communistic control over the board in your less than capable hands.
