I personally don't want to be in any special groups like this.

What's the "stack overflow situation"?

--- Quote from: Ed.Kloonk on February 15, 2022, 04:40:34 am ---I don't understand what is wrong with the existing Thanked User system here. The first one to answer with the nearest solution is marked by consensus.

It's used a bit but I guess not often enough to be really useful. No one looks every beginner thread and gives a rate unlike say StackExchange.
Maybe it's just not possible on a chat forum based system to solve this, it's just the wrong platform to even try? Horses for courses so to speak. Stack Exchange will always do it way better?

I wanted to suggest stack exchange. But here's the rub. I have started to ask here instead SE because of the rabbit hole effect. Over on unix.SE, once the question is technically answered, any further dialogue is nixxed.
WRT thanking users, I wish more people would try and thank the one good answer in a sort of drive-by thanking without feeling the need to contribute further. Takes a second to hit the button.

Maybe it could be renamed to something else? like Valuable?
e.g. "The following users thought this post was Valuable"

People are fighting for upvotes and begging OPs to accept their solution as correct. And all for fake internet points. It is pathetic.
MrMobodies:
I see, so it is based on a level of trust between the members that have voted for someone.
I think I have seen other boards do that before and one I recall even had an "enthusiasts" title.
