The 'Thanks' button

It's also possible that the people who were giving the thumbs down, thought it was deserved?

Possibly, but it was happening on every post for some. It was open to abuse.

I think that accounts for all HWM's thanks numbers.

Jealous lol

Was it on your posts ?

People only need the thanks button when reading any of my posts. I am amazing.

I think they would need to include a button of a person kneeling down and bowing at your greatness. A button that would only work in reply to your posts. An exclusive button to worship your amazingness.

It is extremely tribal on here. I can certainly see that it would be abused.

Do you look at peoples post and actually take note if they have been thanked /liked and by whom . If so that is quite sad

It could be like facebook where the caring icon is right next to the laughing one .Now by looks of it that would really play mind games with some in here when wrong one clicked by mistake

We can thank a poster, we can like a poster's comment. However I wish the forum had a few more reactions. e.g. happy, sad, laughing, clapping and dare I say maybe the middle finger

And a 'woof' button too!

Love the sound of that, I agree too.

I didn't post in GD at the time so I wasn't affected.

OMG I would never use that button

A bizarre comment, unrelated to what I posted! My point was that you could end up in the situation where almost every post made by somebody from one tribe automatically got four or five down votes from the other tribe.

I think you might find that I am a very personable and non offensive person is the reason, you might want to change your ways.
