    People are taking this post up wrong.

    The user is just saying, given the day that's in it, do not forget to give thanks to the lord.

    And also with you..

    The worst is when a mod makes a "funny". The amount of thanks it will receive is probably double of that a regular poster would get. Pathetic.

    Or when a mod puts their mod hat on, all the other mods thank it and nobody else :D :pac:

    They're a sad aul bunch those moderators.

    awaits ban....

    The thanks button is a lot better the quoting a post and putting +1 after it those type of posts just irritate me




    bet someone will do +1

    I've noticed that too. And people use thanks in the wrong way as well, there's more than one reason to thank a post, you don't have to absolutely agree with someone, you can just appreciate it was a good post, and people using thanks to sorta gang up on people as well is utterly pathetic, instead of giving some thought to what was said, whether it was accurate or not, just hop on the bandwagon.

    Show a little support guys jeeeez.

    I prefer reddits system, I know it wouldn't work here, it's a totally different site.

    I didn't think people thought that much into the whole thanks thing tbh

    I thank any posts I find funny/informative/interesting or if I'm on the soccer forum and cant post I thank whoever posts what I would have said, never thought anybody would see it as ganging up

    I also like the reddit system

    What about a thumbs down button?

    Not about the OP but some things said on AH are shocking. One poster said he thought Athlone was a nice Town. Thats shocking, truly shocking.

    Aye, a couple of times recently I've seen thanks actually explicitly referenced in arguments, like "well my post got loads of thanks and yours didn't so I win". Fairly obnoxious. Or people get a lot more cocky in arguing with someone if they know they're on the side that's getting the most thanks.

    If there was downvoting introduced here I could see it turn into bullying really quick, the base of regular users is small enough that it's inevitable that things get a bit cliquey.

    I'm fairly free and easy handing out the thanks, even if I don't particularly like a poster or agree with them on other topics it doesn't mean they can't make a good/funny/convincing post.

    I throw out thanks left right and centre. I mean if I agree or like what someone said , they have gone to the trouble of posting it and me of reading it have to signify that interaction in some way. Right ? Otherwise I'm ...
