No offence depp, as cool as this new thanks feature is (really! Tis' awesome!) I'll probably end up writing sincere, good-old fashioned "This post is awesome, blah blah blah" posts.

But still, awesome new feature!

Like softeyes said, a "Boo" button would be nice but im not sure if it would get taken advantage of.

Maybe not "boo" as that could be taken the wrong way (it's never nice being booed), but maybe a "dislike"/"thumbs down"? Mind you, if we got this, I think it'd have to be rather subtle. As you said, it might be quite upsetting if you received a lot of negative "dislikes" or whatever.

Personally, I'd leave it like it is. I mean, we still have the thread rating system. If you dislike a thread, simply rate it 1/2 stars. If you like it, you can rate it 4/5 stars and even give it a "thanks".

I like this "Thanks" button. It could always be a "No Thanks"
But I think people would use it out of context, simply for disliking a member.

Here's more ramblings from Koq...

"Thanks" is a way of saying "thanks/I like this" instead of actually posting on the thread. Thing is, if you don't do a dare (or you don't like the idea), you simply don't post on the thread - or most people don't anyway. So, in my opinion, a "no thanks" would be rather pointless. If you dislike the idea, ignore the thread. Or rate it 1/2 stars?

You might think this is pointless, but a 'Good Try' button would be nice. Gets rid of a lot of the problems associated with 'Boos', 'No Thanks' etc.

(More for the Dare, Truth, Stories sections.)

wouldent a like/dislike system kinda reminds me of the karma system that was removed.
