Hey, it would be useful (imho) if people could see a count of the number of thanked posts a person has made in the forum the thread they're reading is in. i.e. in Politics I think it would be a good way for new people to spot those who make good contributions regularly. The idea would be to have not the number of thanks…

Hey, it would be useful (imho) if people could see a count of the number of thanked posts a person has made in the forum the thread they're reading is in. i.e. in Politics I think it would be a good way for new people to spot those who make good contributions regularly. The idea would be to have not the number of thanks but the number of thanked posts made by the person in Politics (to stop thanks whoring and more reflect those who contribute well over time rather than once or twice and get a lot of thanks). If people want to thanks whore they can start contributing better posts and the forum is tightly moderated already so I don't think this would be abused.

I'd recommend it be off by default and on if the moderators of a forum thought it'd be useful. I've no idea if this is even feasible or desirable from a coding/load point of view.
