Added a new mod today --
You'll notice Thanks and Groan buttons on all posts now. Basically if a user makes a helpful post or reply and you want to thank them for it you just click the button and they will be "thanked".
All thanked posts will show up in the user's stats and where you would normally find links for all their posts, so if you want to see what posts they were thanked specifically on, you can.
The same basic principal applies to the Groan button. If someone makes a pointless post you can groan at them. This mod will help distinguish whether a user is helpful or not towards the message board.
FAQ:
Can anyone give groans or thanks?
Anyone can give thanks. In order to give groans a user must have a minimum of 50 posts.
Can I thank or groan at myself?
No.
Will something happen to a user who has a specific amount of thanks or groans?
No, they are simply there to let others know whether they contribute to the board or not.
What if the "Groans" button is abused like infractions?
Groans are kept track of, so if I notice a user gives out an abnormal amount of groans they will be investigated and banned from using the function. If a user receives an abnormal amount of groans I will also investigate to determine if they are justified or not.
I don't like this mod, can't you just delete it already?
This is a new mod and will remain on the board for no less than 3 days before I determine if I should keep it or not. I go by how it's used and what kind of feedback it receives. Usually if it's still around after a week that mean's it's staying.
