:-DD
It's in the first post. Someone asked about it and it kinda had some merit so I asked here.
But I am considering competing offers from Klaus Schwab at the WEF, Bill Gates, the Koch brothers, Blackrock, and some guy who looks remarkably like a lizard. I'm kinda erring on the side of the lizard guy.

I, for one, welcome our new lizard overlords.

Maybe there are people that haven't had the experience of being asked their opinion and having it listened to.
As Dave said, the idea proposed is not going ahead. It was run up the flagpole to see how many would salute it and how many would shoot it down. From the crunch of all the brass under foot, the answer would seem rather obvious (to me, at least).
--- Quote --- If you are complaining about the 14 page thread this is turned into, then no one is forcing you to read it. Discussion like this often lead to interesting ideas for improvement not related to the original idea.

Such discussions can - and do - wander all over the place. You can get extreme views, ridiculous ideas and, occasionally, some interesting points. I liken it to "brainstorming". The value here is to not take anything too much to heart and look back when all the shouting is over and see if there are any gems.
If people still have something they want to get off their chest, then they are free to do so - but don't interpret continued discussion as a sign the idea will come to be. It isn't. Dave said so.

But it is completely unrelated and co-incidental that while this discussion was taking place the user displays gained a "thanked" count? :-DD and that change is nothing at all like trying to obviously rank/separate users. Things did change, despite there being no popular consensus.

:palm: Desperate to make a noise are we?
Maybe it escaped your notice, but that was nothing like the original proposal. It didn't change how things were done or what they meant - and it can be removed as easily as it was implemented, with no lasting detriment.
Besides, the statistic has been available for anyone to see - and has been for as long as I can remember. Just click on a member's Username and it's right there on the landing page of their profile.
