Pointless Thanks

[#1]

@Browni - I'd say there were a massive number of problems caused by Lithium/Khoros tinkering.

Perhaps there should be a top limit on the number of posts a member can make in a given period?  A General Chat poster has made 366 posts since I started this thread last week. That rate equates to over 14,000 posts in a year!

Many of the 366 posts were repetitive, but nevertheless some of the repeats were "thanked" by the same people who had thanked earlier versions.  

I would suggest a generous limit of 300 posts per month for General Chat;  that should be ample for anyone and less annoying to other members (particularly grumpy old fools like me).

Doesn't  the ranking also encourage more unnecessary posting?   When an upgrade is due perhaps the moderators could consider whether the quality of the member's posts justifies an upgrade?  But I suspect they have better things to do with their time.

Just seen this thread....

I am the holder of the 2nd highest "thanks" on General Chat... but I do not regard that as a "reward" for the number of posts.   More as a "recognition" of posting something that is either useful to the thread title /subject matter, or because I have helped someone, or because others think in a similar vein to my postings.

I have been on this forum for over 10 years, and because of that, I have also made quite a lot of posts, both original and comment type... so therefore it naturally follows that I would "gain" more " thanks " than a "new user"  ... but I do not post prolifically, just to get "thanks".... there are many threads and many boards where I do not post at all... If I were out for a record number, I would find excuses to post in all boards and on as many topics as I could possibly think of....

As for "rankings" ... they are "just a bit of fun"...  I`m listed as "Community Veteran".... which could be an insult in disguise ! ! ! ............

.more than a recognition of length of service... 

how about a gold watch then ? ? ?

P.S.    the Thanks button is on the right hand side next to the reply button , if you agree with what I am saying here   ! ! !
