Hi guys


Another feature we're looking at is 'thank you hack' so people can click a thank you on someone's post rather than saying it each time and clogging up the discussion.

Now that makes a lot of sense. Save me poor old mouse finger from all that scrolling

I thought it may help stop the spammers getting hi reps.

What does this mean?

As i say though - they're just trials, they're not a big deal

I like the sound of the 'thank you hack' too.

Oh dear, I don't think this is a good idea at all. Do people really need any more excuse to be competitive? We should post because we want to, not because we think we'll get brownie points.

It's not going to show real opinions anyway, because those people who want to get high scores will just arrange to click on each other's rating scales to bump each other up.

We're just trying this. I'm not wedded to it - so we'll give it a couple of weeks and see what everyone thinks then. We can always turn it off. I thought it may help stop the spammers getting hi reps.

I think if spammers want to get high numbers of posts, they'll keep doing it, one way or another. These measures aren't going to stop them if they're determined. I understand what you're trying to do, but I think it will cause more problems than it solves.

I have to say it makes me feel very uncomfortable. Sorry, don't like it.

Martin, you haven't got a little scales thingy. Can we opt not to have one either if we don't like it?

Groups of friends will have a field day with it, as far as I am concerned it is a non-starter, surely this site is strong enough to hold the attention of all its regulars without the competition factor of being reputations top dog. (just like the stars)

Please can you all stop MOANING! Just see how things go, Martin has already said its not set in stone.
