What's wrong with the "thanks" button as is?
I appreciate some may see the Thanks button as a poor "Agree" button, but's underused as a tool to thank or implicitly/explicitly agree with someones post or part of a post.
I still think the thanks button is underused as it is, even for caps or pics posters, so let's just get thanking more...it maybe a poor means to express your agreement/delight/gratitute at someone's post, but unless we are seriously considering a button for every possible emotion you can express to a post ("mild disinterest", "bemusement", "boredom", "deeply distressed", "I'm calling the cops I'm so scared" etc), we can all get a little better at using the one tool we have to thank members....it's the thanks button.
As for negative button, jeez this place can get incredibly negative as it is, maybe a "no thanks" button or something will reduce the number of abuse, but probably you'll get the "no thanks" pressed then the abuse follows in another post...IMHO, I'd like to be proved wrong as this place is full of rationale, polite articulate members...oh wait...that's a unfortunate minority of members...must remember that.
(dives to avoid the likely flames)
