Thank you Tags

What about having a Thank you Tag.. for when people reply to a thread or question.

It would be a nice Tag to have

There are a number of ways of doing this in vBulletin - most commonly "reputation" where a grateful member can give a reputation point to another member. Over time, this builds so that everyone can identify those who have been most helpful. We've never used it here but it could be added if the community feels it would be beneficial.

I've never understood the point/purpose of the reputation.

[designerstuart]

yes i think it's more about thanks for a particular thread, rather than member

There are more ways to skin a cat. If a question receives more good answers, it could be difficult to choose who deserves the reputation point.

I'd rather people just say 'thank you'.

I'd rather people just say 'thank you'.

 

Works a treat for me too.

 

Well, unless those reputation "points" can be redeemed for valuable gifts or airline miles then count me in! Can I get a iPad and a trip to Tahiti?

 

Just having some fun.

I second to that!

I think reputation points would only induce members 'one-upping' each other in a bid to get the best answer...

Just stick to the normal Thank You.

if someone answers a question and gives good info... then they deserve it!! .. also it may encourage them to reply more.
