Thanks button and more

[Wakate]

Saying thank or not doesn't make any difference. I know you are a newbie and may not really get it. One of the best ways to say thank you is to in my opinion help other newbies answer their questions and give them proper directions wherever you can. It would make the forum a better place.

Do not let anyone mount pressure on you to tell you that you need to send merits to a user as a way of saying thanks. We don't really care for all these things because either way merits will come when someone finds value in what you write.

Thanking someone personally is what almost all users do. I did it alot in my newbie days. Even till now I do it. If I don't have merit  to reward a post that help me, I will say thanks. Some times, it could be a 1 line thanks or below a post by quoting it.

Newbies coming from the background of social media will always suggest things like facebook likes which I did also when I was a newbie. But when they grow into the system, they will understand that this system although is not close to perfect but is not also bad. By then, they will stop trying to suggest many changes to the forum.

I don't think op deserve any insult because he does not understand how the forum works. We should always easily correct people especially when they do not understand how the system works. Some persons were advising op to give out merit as a means of saying thank you. How would someone that do not have merit nor understand how the merit system works to give merit? That should be so because the forum is seen like a regular social media when people come and enquire about something, if they get answer to there enquiry, thank you would be the compliment not sharing merit just like the person opinion I saw on this thread.

If OP's really new in the forum it's a process he'll learn like we did. He'll ask questions to understand what's the way here. The problem's happen when ppl who aren't newbies ask questions. How many ppl don't know how merits work. If they've found the forum they've studied what's going on before they've registered.

Some people don't have any idea how the Forum works until they might have stayed for some days browsing through the Forum, while some have already gotten the tips on how the Forum works but still they ask questions about the Forum like they don't know. Some don't know if there's anything like merit and when they finally get one they start asking questions about it. So I don't think we need to blame some members who ask questions about how the merit system works.

I'd actually appreciate thanks button. Often, I come across posts that deserves merit, but then again I deplete sMerit as soon as I earn it. Sometimes, I write post links in to-do list to merit later, but quite fed up with to-do lists lately as they make me dwell upon past than present.

If you write merely thanks, it'll likely get deleted.

Good if Bitcointalk could have 'thanks' without any perks. Just use it to say thanks.

I highly doubt theymos would implement it. Already there are tons of proposal/improvement/patches that are still pending waiting for his approval. Just look at the 2FA features. People have been asking for it for years and now after many years we got it. So I guess, OP have to wait long to get something as the "thanks" button.

If you write merely thanks, it'll likely get deleted.

He is not obliged to thank anyone. Don't you agree? It's not mandatory.

What's with the search limit, I'm a regul;ar user not a bot,
got this   You are searching too quickly. Wait 90 seconds. (There is a Google-based search engine on the search page that does not have this limit.)


So I waited 90 seconds, searched again, didnt find anything on the page so I clicked next page and I get the saMe message again,
all i dfid was click the next button.

You'll have to wait if you wanna use the forums search engine. It's not that great. Instead use the google based search engine. It doesn't have any time limits.

Edit: You won't get any results that are outside of Bitcointalk. For example if you searched "Facebook",  it won't show up. It will only show links related to Bitcointalk.

I must say that I appreciate this advice, many are in the forum who are not just considerate as you do not know the mental health of the person you are talking to. This is why I like to be calm in some situations so that I will not regret my actions eventually. Although the OP is kinda rude too, the way he propagated the message is just as if he was blackmailing the forum management. If I must ask, who can he blackmail? Just as I advised him in my first reply, I told him that if he made his threat good, it was only the fastest way to completely get banned from the forum.

For Christ's sake, this is not a normal social media platform or any other forum that will enable the "Thanks/Likes" button as he wanted. And since he is not the first or the last to register here, he must admit and obey the rules of the forum. Peradventure he can't obey it, there is nothing wrong in excusing himself from the forum if our deeds don't tally with his. That is civil enough.
