    Mods/Boards operators,

    Can we get some sort "no thanks button" just like the "thanks" button on boards. I see so many stupid posts, it would be great to have a quick way to give the poster some feedback.

    It won't happen, apparently.


    It would be nice though.

    Oh sweet irony! :pac:

    The reason won't happen is because that's essentially bringing back the flawed and abused Karma system.

    What was the karma system all about? I don't think I was around for that one.

    Never gonna happen, it's been suggested plenty of times, but you will probably get a few ironic thanks for proposing it again if that makes you feel any better?

    Hands up who else read that as bringing back the flawed and abused Karoma system?

    At that rate we could just have a hundred smileys, one for ever remark we'd like to make.

    If you don't agree with a post then comment on it.

    Why? What are the problems you have encountered with it?

    It will only lead to the same problems as the Karma system encountered. I wasn't here when Karma was in use, but from what I know of it it was way more hassle than it was worth and caused a bit of a mess.

    Im not talking about something that mods allocate points to, im talking about an ablilty to quickly register your disagreement with a post, just like the thanks button quickly registers your agreement with a post. There is no punishing or rewarding posters for using the thanks button.

    Thanks button means less stupid "+1" posts. If you disagree with a post, that's what the "reply" button is there for, to voice this disagreement. If in turn you think that a post is so ridiculous that it doesn't deserve a reply, then ignore it.

    There was a few threads already on this in the Feedback forum.

    You will have posters starting to post - why did you give a no thanks to my post etc - it would just derail a thread.

    It was a grief magnet. Not worth the hassle.
