The thanked counter

The poll will give a value for those who choose to respond and like the thanked counter or those respondents who don't like it. But it excludes those who neither like nor dislike it.

I hardly notice it and don't really care much even when I do unless it is a rare occasion I read someone replying in a particularly helpful way. Then I'll consider thanking them, if I'm logged in at the time.

I think it is a good idea in 1 respect as it shows up the spammers. User with a very high post count 4kplus  and only 1 or 2 % of Thanks . There are quite a few that have got 1k's of posts that only consist of 3 or 6 word replies. Of zero relevance to the subject..  .

Ok,  You can shout at me.

I thought the level of response to the poll, or lack of there off would indicate the strength of opinion, but since it's a popular request, I've added don't care.

I don't think that's a very good indicator. There's nothing to stop a spammer from setting up multiple accounts and thanking each other, and/or making lots of replies to users who thank a lot. I suppose that would make it easy for the moderator to check, but it's an extra thing for them to look at.

Maybe when I used the word Spammers I didn't actually mean spammers as such maybe a bad choice of word more Like Number cruncher's  .
 I did not want to give names or hints . But every one knows there are those who just have a thing about having a finger in every pie .
 Every single post topic in this forum has "1" entry by the same people    .

I would have Thanked you But I want to stay unbiased
