I'm not trying to convince you guys it's good, just merely pushing out food for thought.

Here's an example:
A while back, a member came to me after writing a dozen or so tutorials. People saw the tutorials, but they were relatively advanced and he received few responses. This led him to believe that he wasn't valued or that his posts weren't welcome here. It was, in fact, quite the contrary. Plenty of people read his threads, but due to how advanced they were, he never received any feedback. He ended up deleting all his tutorials and leaving the forum, despite the apology I gave him.

My idea is that the thanks system might help in situations like these. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm only considering it at the moment.
