OK, so I dunno if I should post this here, but I think making a new thread isn't such a good idea, so I'm just gonna go ahead and ask this here.
What exactly this thanking? I mean, I get that a post is thanked, and that, y'know, it's a kind of short-hand way of saying "thanks", but is that it? Or does it have a more meaningful use?
That's not saying that it's pointless. It's handy as. I mean, on another forum I went on, people gave reputation as thanking, since they didn't have a thanking system. So someone who has not contributed in any useful way to the community could still have like 150 rep, just because they made funny posts.
Here, any reputation given (or taken away) is actually deserved. Which is nice
