But you can give a thread a star rating already,
Are we all being a little precious about what we post?, I think what I post is OK when I start a thread(Obviously a lot of my posts in threads are a little chaff), but couldn't care less for being thanked, if there are a lot of views but no comments, I don't see it as a slight, just that that many people have clicked on a thread I started, do we really need to be thanked for passing on something to the forum? I know its nice but does it really matter?

...You know what the answer is ? Folks need to get over their silence and just type in a quick note of appreciation. It's not hard, it's even easier than texting...

That give rep button suited me fine but the system was the one that was abused. Folks gave reps for friends who had literally posted "cool"
I don't quite agree with JD, I like feedback enough to know that what I posted was useful, or interesting, but I'm quite happy with that. As I said earlier, it's also a good way of starting a thread that pools information from many people

....I'm all for getting rid of a post count too and just having your join date. Just cos' you have a high post count, doesn't mean you have contributed to the community more and deserve respect. Just means you're a gobshiite and enjoy shootin' the s**t on here. Southey and myself being prime examples.
