I used it as an instance of other efforts to create a Coldplay database here, whether or not it's copying and pasting a link. I think it's valid to show you appreciation for people who cared to go looking for pictures of concerts, reviews, news etc, which is one of the purposes of the thanks button.

Just what is Curly's problem?

Coeurli · 14-06-2012, 08:17 PM

^LOOOOL

Basically there is not point to having that button. It´s not gonna cause a big fight, well it did but because i made this thread but people arent crying over it. I just think it was a dumb thing to add and by making this thread I was mocking on what would happen but isnt really going to happen

Only 1 thank. I failed

You guys argue for really silly reasons!

What I said wasn't entirely accurate, sure, I just meant to say that I don't believe that the only people screwing around with the Thanks system are the people who chat casually on the forum. Yes I sometimes lurk the Coldplay section, I like Coldplay and like Reilly and Cobalt said, I don't understand why lurking in a forum is a 'crime'. But I still don't consider myself as 'going in' that section.

Well, I don't understand this post, Ian added this new feature, this thread was made light-heartedly and all of a sudden there's no point to it? There is no fight here about the existence of the Thanks button, tbh there is no fight at all, but if this was the case, it's not Ian's burden, it's yours/ours/etc. for not using it responsibly. Just stop thanking posts that don't need thanking if it's a problem. Not "welp I guess everyone ruined it, time to take it away"

EDIT: Oops you mean that you personally believe there's no point to it. I'm too lazy to reply to that atm

Uhh... well the thanks system is like giving people "+1" "+1" "+1"s for their good posts, right? The rep system is where you can give people "+1" or "-1"s for being a helpful (or unhelpful) user. It's a more complex version of the thanks system, cos you can give negative feedback too. I found a shitty bodybuilding forum that uses this as an example: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=145688701
It's very cool imo but I know somehow it would be screwed up and I imagine it would take a lot of unnecessary effort to implement in the forum.

EDIT: The forum used to have it, it was called 'bling'. This was before my time though. I imagine that the fact that it's gone means that there's a reason why it won't be back again.

Destrokk · 14-06-2012, 10:55 PM

I didnt even understand what I posted, but I wanted to say that it doesn´t really matter at the end

Italian Plastic · 15-06-2012, 05:36 AM

there are 98 posts in this thread and ive thanked them all
can you thanks threads?

rainplay · 15-06-2012, 06:17 AM

That guys thanking every post hahah that amused me for a second I'm over it now but yet I'm still typing this.. Might as well click post quick reply now.

iccp · 15-06-2012, 10:28 AM

If I understood correctly what you said, I agree that the feature is neither inherently good nor inherently bad. You can only assess it once people click on it: the button has potentially many functions, it's up to us to use it to show appreciation, agreement, make a jape of it etc.

Thanks for explaining what a reputation system is!

Cobalt · 15-06-2012, 01:46 PM

Jape is a very odd word for joke

suzanafg · 15-06-2012, 01:50 PM

Is it?

I thought it was just a synonym.

iccp · 15-06-2012, 02:23 PM
