    the innocuous post made in the galway traffic forum has about 12 thanks now, it was a good idea, the only criticism i have is that it was a post from a few hours ago and the people reading the thread may not see the thanks, what we need is a quickfire, fast hit on a very recent innocuous post

    This breathtaking review exploring the complexities and depth of Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones intricate relationship in Men in Black 3 deserves recognition. Especially considering he joined just to write it.

    We need a name. The Innocuous Strike Force? Dealing out recognition to those who hold the very fabric of boards together. Behind every great post likes ten innocuous ones, and their importance can never be underestimated...

    Perhaps use the groups feature on boards?

    We should campaign for our own forum. It would work like the 'Spammer Notification Thread' in feedback, where we respond rapidly and efficiently to reports of banal, innocuous posts across the site.

    Anyways...anyone who thanks this post has a tiny penis (even the girls).

    well technically I suppose it is true.

    My craving for apples has increased ten fold since reading this thread.

    Good initiative. You can be the brains of the operation. You'll need these, and these.

    I agree with Poster A. Apples are really nice. If I had an apple now I would eat it. I don't have an apple though. I might buy some apples in Tesco later. I'll buy some other things too. I'm not going to go to Tesco just to get apples. I'll definitely get some other stuff too. I hope I remember to get the apples because apples are really nice.

    You know, if someone posts something that is of no real interest, is dull, lacking in insight, cliched or just some kind of nothing throwaway comment and you then proceed to thank that comment - i do it sometimes and it amuses me greatly and i think more of us should do it

    for example

    Poster A "I like eating fruits, especially apples"

    Thanks: Donfers

    So basically pity thanks?
