Are different Thank buttons possible?
Posted: Wednesday, 9th March 2016, 16:58
One of the reasons that the Thank button has been disabled actually (-> Thanking Now Restricted to OPs) seems to be the fact that there are several intentions for pressing the button. I wouldn't like to discuss any kind of abuse (you can't prevent that anyway) but the question is: are several different buttons possible or could they be implemented?
At the end of a post it usually looks like
[Thank] [Quote] [!] [^]
Could this be expanded to something like the following?
[Thanks for advice] [Thanks for effort] [I agree] [Thanks for joke] [Quote] [!] [^]
This could result in a message like
For this message the author posterA has received thanks:
advice:2 - posterX, posterY
effort:
agree:1 - posterZ
