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

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.

You still have some space in the "personal text" which you don't seem to be using.
Failing that, you could even put it in your gender ;)
