Actually I'll bet that is what is happening but on two levels. I visit a forum that once used "reputation" points to give status. That then turned out to have rep threads where guys would rep each other just to get the points. It was harmless at first until some liberal whiners made a fuss that they weren't getting their fair share. Now it is a long gone funny event as they had to turn it off.
Most likely the person that jetted ahead has a second account on a different computer (different IP address) with a different name. Looked himself up with a search and thanked himself 200 times to take the lead. Or he has a buddy that did it.

I use it when a comment isn't needed, but I agree or it made sense. I'd suggest others do the same instead of posting that they agree with the quote. I won't mention any names but it rhymes with Alvin.

There's no thanks feature in the Clubhouse so it needs to be said in forums where there is one that should be used, so saying it there makes no sense. It'd be helpful to have the thanks feature in the CH, because there are too many posts of "X2" or "good post". Those add less than if there as a way to just add your support with a thanks. As it is people are just saying YEAH, SO THERE.

They might consider a "relevance meter" on the side of every ones name, a scale from 1 to 10 attached to ones account.
Some examples (like these below), would alert others who the historically poor performers are as PY members. A * next to the relevance number would indicate the person is a "cut and paste" kind of member more than 50% of his posts. PY Relevance Scale I own a Pontiac, buy from PY, and post in Tech areas of the forum twice a month or more: relevance factor 10 I used to own a Pontiac but currently don't, I help by posting in Tech areas twice a month or more: relevance factor 6 I don't own a Pontiac, and not interested in anything on PY that deals with Pontiacs, but I do post in non Tech areas 90% or more of the time and have a low post count: relevance factor: 1 I have never owned a Pontiac and though I stay on PY for long periods, I don't post in Tech areas or contribute much in the Pontiac hobby: relevance factor of 0 That seems to cover the spectrum....... |

How about we just say if we agree with somebody or disagree just like we do in real life?
Relevance points, thanks, or reputation points......what relevance do they have in a Pontiac forum? If you spend ANY time here you can quickly tell who knows their **** & who makes it up, who the whiners are and the troublemakers, and who's here to learn & help. My vote goes for dumping it.

I was laughing at this entire thread, especially at the big string of useless "thanks" to every post. I actually blew a little snot on the keyboard during a chuckle through my nose. I don't know why, but this was one of the funniest things I've read in a while.
I think Dillon wins with the biggest continuous string of disingenuous "thanks".

It's been funny watching a couple of people vying for the Big Thanks list.
I just want to thank our bestest buddy and big toe, Sergeant Hulka. . . . . . . . . . . . . |

When someone or a group of folks help me with ideas or suggestions I specifically thank them. Seems like the right thing to do.

As one who is usually in the top thanks list, I never vied for position. My ego is fragile enough.
dwallace and John are brothers, in case anyone was wondering. I thought the Thanks was an easier tool than the X2, X3, 2 cents and all the other needless pile-ons to agree with one persons reply. Or, if you are corrected and you agree to that point. Especially, if it's several posts/pages later. |
