Should thank counts be temporary and more severe?

[TehDruid]

Worth it.

[moocowmoocow]

No, thank counts definitely don't need a nerf, as forum posting difficulty has significantly increased lately. They could use irrelevant features though. I propose more colors in thank message. Giving thanks should alter your password, turning the post you thanked into cipher key to guess your new PW. All users should be secretly assigned friend/enemy lists which they cannot access, and get achievements/punishments for thanking right or wrong. Finally, I think CYC board should have minimum thanks given count to access, to weed out posts that are not up to quality.

[Grimm]

We can change the board settings to allow retraction of thanks but that's really all. I'd like to make thanks transferable, enabling thanks to be traded among members. This would cause them to become a sort of prison currency, like cigarettes.

[1010011010]

I got some really good advice, but its gonna cost you a couple of thanks

[Hirsch I]

here, I pay one, no more.

[Baldu3]

A healthy thank economy is an essential component of a happy society. I approve as long as a functional mechanism is put in place to insure upwards mobility of your thanks towards my pockets.

[Siegurt]

I am clearly a thanks-hoarder, my lack of investment back into the pool is obviously what keeps the thanks-economy stagnant

[Grimm]

There are rumours of BitThanks being developed. That could change the game.

In Weimar Crawl, people had to carry round billions of thanks in wheelbarrows. The same spectre looms large over us now.

[Grimm]

Similar conditions obtained some years ago in Dungeon Crawl: Zimbabwe Żurek. They eventually abandoned the local thank and adopted the American thank.

[Confidence Interval]

I thought Crawl exclusively used the Aussie thank?

[Baldu3]

An area of interest so far left unstudied is the control of the means of thank production. To the untrained eye it may appear as if all are free to create their own thanks and market them for their proper value, but imagine if I somehow acquired very many thanks, and traded them for a place as admin. Perhaps those who would refuse to adhere to my rightful periodic thank tribute rule would find their ability to thank stiffened?

I suddenly find myself more and less interested in this subject at the same time.

[Grimm]

DC:SS does. It's on a fixed exchange rate with the Angband danke.

[Confidence Interval]

I think we need a "thanks a fucking lot" button, too.

[Grimm]

lol

[Confidence Interval]

If that's not possible then one could thank and then hit the "mockingly retract thanks" button.

[Grimm]

Indian thanker

[Confidence Interval]

I was thinking of it more as a form of humiliating insult.

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

In Soviet Russia, you do not need to care about the production of thanks. =)

[Confidence Interval]

In Soviet Russia, you do not need to care about the production of thanks. =)

Because of state control of the means of production of thanks, you mean?

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

Look at my count. Do you think there is any kind of thank control?!

[Grimm]

I would have guessed that it was rather a case of enormous quotas, with MOHF a Stakhanovite among thankers.

Alternatively, the Soviet thank might be one of the better examples of its kind, and be being produced in great numbers in order to bury its opponents. In this view MOHF is overseeing the production of T-34 medium battle thanks.

I think of MyO as the John Henry of the thanking world, fighting against the machine til he dies, a thanks upon his lips.

[Grimm]

He's a little pale for that role.

[Confidence Interval]

Having only heard the song I didn't know that John Henry was thought of as a black man (til I googled it just now).

[Grimm]

It's like a basic American thing, him and Paul Bunyan.

[Confidence Interval]

What I get for not being a basic American. But Bunyan is white, right (or at least looks that way on google images)?

[Grimm]

Yes he's white, I meant that Bunyan and Henry are or were when I was small kind of the two main folk heroes you learn about in school. Just basic knowledge like the Stone of Scone is for you.

Back on topic, I just heard about the success of Dogecoins, so this talk of a thanks currency might turn out not to be so crazy after all.

[Confidence Interval]

Dogecoins

A currency based on the Venetian magistracy? Awesome!

[Grimm]

I know right? Like cyberducats.

[Confidence Interval]

I think cybersestertii would be even better.

That they may sometimes stink seems to have been reflected in the foregoing discussion.

Meeerrryyyyyy thanksmas motherthankers!!!!

Come at me you matureposter! (flexes his sword) I'm gonna thank up your text like there's no database limit!!!
