Spoiler:
Duubz pls pls.
Anyway, this idea is good, and I'd surely welcome it here.
However I have the same memories as @Customer. It got denied earlier I think. If I remember right, it was under the title "like button" if someone wants to look it up. I'm on my phone so I won't.

I tried to thank that post...
@Oni please, we need a "Thanks" button.

It doesn't add anything to the discussion, and just adds stupid fake discussion points. I see no reason why we should have it.

Are you mentioning that out of spite of Reddit, and upvoting? Thanking a post shows how helpful the post is, especially when sharing coding advice, SE techniques or anything else. It's also a lot more efficient than people bumping the thread just to say "thanks" or "it worked for me".

We should just have discussion in threads, and nothing but discussion. Adding all this convoluted thank you bs is just redundant. You can already donate SP anyway.

Who the hell said anything about Reddit? (Besides you, that is)

Because all forum/community voting systems turn into a circlejerk. Remember when people would comment on 4ch "sage" even though it does nothing? And on reddit people get downvoted just for having different opinions. There's no reason for a vote system and all it does is encourage shitposting.

This isn't voting as much as it is thanking the person. Polls are for voting, that's why people put them up when they want to.

We're not upvoting or downvoting anything. Is a simple "thanks" too much that it would really devolve the current topic? I fail to see how that system would encourage off-topic or low quality discussion. SL might not be Reddit, but it's not 4chan either.
