it could lead to new annoying behavioral patterns (like writing "please give me a thanks" in each post) which would be bad of course.

You could add it into guidelines when you post. But then big enough so people would notice it

well I'm not sure.. I'll think about it. it could lead to new annoying behavioral patterns (like writing "please give me a thanks" in each post) which would be bad of course.

(also note that the +1 stuff is officially forbidden and will lead to temp bans: http://www.unrealsoftware.de/rules.php)


As said in the OP, it could, but the goal is greater than the nastiness it brings with it.

EDIT:

How I think the list of thanks should look:


The fonts are off, but you get the general idea.

and this feature is required because... ?
I can say here and now, that, if this was implemented to the boards then it should be used to evaluate a post's quality, in example if the post were well written and has examples in it then it becomes "exemplary feedback" (GameBanana-term), then it would at least serve a purpose. This has been suggested and implemented into GameBanana a long time ago. I think it got removed due to the massive abuse of the "thumbing" feature. I am not for the idea of thumbs but sure it'd be a fun add-on for the forum in general I guess.

The +1 thing is like Youtube. There's probably gonna have people saying something like this:

"This map is awesome, thumbs up if you agree."

Thus, there will be thumbs up whores in Unreal Software. Though I accidentally pressed 'yes'.

Ban all those kids who use memes or pics in their posts, they just want to seem smart, but they're nothing more then pathetic humans on the internet.

Since we're going to use features deemed worthy by other known services (like system), why not implement another one - thank users for their posts. E.g., should a person post something that is useful to a certain member, that certain member can express their appreciation via the thank you button which would be, well, whithersoever you put it.

Although I, and most probably you, realize that it might open new ways for spam and all sorts of various nasty things, it is still a good feature to be had, and the said nasty things, in my opinion, would not be too grave, should the feature be implemented.

Please express your opinion, and if you consider it useless - then so be it. Thank you for reading this anyway.



Cool, is this another opportunity to annoy others ?

I would like this feature. I would like my name everywhere....

Good that you like it, but no one wants your name everywhere.

It's almost like you people want the thumbs up thing just for the kicks. Since there is so many voted yes, either DC will force himself to add this feature or not add it at all. Will it be like last time where DC will get what the community wants?
