Thanks and Groans

[Lex]

I've seen a feature in other forums (vBulletin) where you can thank a useful post or "groan" at it if you dislike it.

It plays a little to the popularity contest but it's not a bad idea to raise participation.

You can see them being used here for example:

LOL, I actually enjoy this about mazdaspeedforum, I think this would be used a lot here.

What's holding us back from having the feature active?

[deadly_sleeper]

no, ryan is not the only one that can do stuff. I need to look into it and see what database version we need and what else is involved in it.

lol hating me for something already josh LOL.

this "feature" is stupidly similar to karma points system on mx6.com per example
Vbulletin has a similiar feature with the reputation points.

Im just not all to fond to see more jibberish on the side notes under each members name left column

---Thoughts on my thoughts

While I agree making it too busy is not a good idea - I think this can improve user participation and make the forum a bit more interactive.

Every time I go to that site my blackberry freezes.

Can you explain it a little?

Cuz you have angered the Mazda Gods with your indecisiveness......

If you could make it to where there ins't a seperate box and more like something over by your user info is that would be good. like under positive feedback have a title that says reps then a negative and positive category.

its up to eric, i've given my input

[wheresthericego]

I've gone to a site that has a "thanked" system it displays times thanked and a little check to thank someone
