Not sure about the display of thanks so prominently. As for the original proposition - the more I think about it, the more I am against it. I cannot see it being capable of achieving the aspiration sought and there are multiple risks to what is currently working. |

Halcyon's response is accurate. I even thanked it. As for the thanks under my moniker, I'd like to amend my .sig to include "Ignore the thanks count; too many were given by woodz". I can't because I'm not allowed to have a longer .sig |

--- Quote from: Halcyon on February 18, 2022, 02:00:53 am ---I'd much prefer a system where others can up or down-vote user comments to produce some kind of aggregate "score", but even that is not without its problems and needs careful consideration. --- End quote --- Awhile back, the administrator stated that this forum did not have an archival function. That was in response to a suggestion for some sort of logging of seminal contributions. I had never seen that stated as such for a forum and thought it was not only accurate but quite perceptive. Voting up or down comments like on Stack seems to imply that function. That is, why do it when a thread is active and ample opportunity exists to refute or support statements? Although you point out an obvious problem for such voting, I think you minimize the effect of such a system. It would not only be a risk, it would destroy this forum as it currently exists. PS: Sorry to be late with a response. We had flooding and power outages last night. |

Failing that, you could even put it in your gender ;) |
