Abuse of Thanks button by friends of a member

andy88_2

What is more, these new members do not appear on the Members List

It is remarkable that izzy first denies, then vindicates his actions

this is someone endlessly whingeing about the hypercrits [sic] that criticise him

why don't you and your friend izzy discuss it with them then?

it is the place for a debate actually; suddenly embarrassed after the last 6 days are you?

I hardly think someone who went on a thanking spree in late March stands apart from the issues here

I like Ted's idea of showing the number of thanks a person has received in the forum you are looking at.
Instead of showing total thanks, it could show arms thanks, or freebies thanks, although webby might not be pleased with this suggestion Ted!!

Izzy, was your aim to highlight the fact that the thanks button can be abused?
( "The point of the thanks button has now been highlighted and the point of the posts regarding it has now been proven and it has acheived it's aim" )
I find that a bit patronising really. I'm sure everyone already knew that.

Sorry got to have tuppence worth.

If people are creating extra users to thank themselves, they'll get bored and leave.

I thank people for lots of reasons, most wouldn't be termed thanks. You made me laugh/smile/think etc.

I wouldn't trust someones advice based on thanks alone. You get to spot people who seem to know what they are saying, but watching what they are saying.

It is a serious shame the thanks button gets so much stick, perhaps it should go, it isn't really needed.

And my signature, it was an amusing thought, I could change it, but I don't have that many amusing thoughts.

Don't change it Al Mac - I didn't notice the thanks under our names until I read the comment in your signature

it makes me chuckle every time I see it!!!!

as you've spent several hours organising your friends into thanking you in the last week, you'd be best qualified to comment on the subject of self-absorbtion

why don't you move on - deal with the preposterous insult you suffered here last week in private - and stop taking it out on fellow-members, who are not muppets for the fact that they missed your clever scheme

how did you hack the Member List?
