Weird.
Since we've had the "Top Thanked" info at the bottom of the forum, "The Boss" has been at or right at the top. Only a few "thanks" separated him and a couple of other obviously very useful people as they jockeyed for Performance Years Pontiac immortality. Now SUDDENLY there is a new player in the race (fbirdinconcord) and he has pulled out a HUGE lead. Approx 150 "thanks" over the next most helpful guy. Looks like the answer to everybody's Pontiac prayer has surfaced.........amazingly quickly, I might add.

Actually I'll bet that is what is happening but on two levels. I visit a forum that once used "reputation" points to give status. That then turned out to have rep threads where guys would rep each other just to get the points. It was harmless at first until some liberal whiners made a fuss that they weren't getting their fair share. Now it is a long gone funny event as they had to turn it off.
Most likely the person that jetted ahead has a second account on a different computer (different IP address) with a different name. Looked himself up with a search and thanked himself 200 times to take the lead. Or he has a buddy that did it.

Does anyone use the thank function for any post that's actually helpful? I've only noticed it in the lobby in general conversations.

I just went back and clicked on the top members name mentioned above and it does not link to his last (or any) posts. No correlation to what hes posted, and if its not listed in recent posts or most popular in one of the other groups, how would you find all this useful/helpful info hes posted? Maybe it promotes participation, assistance and nothing wrong with that. Last edited by JLHarper; 02-06-2014 at 11:53 AM. |

Posts are being thanked during arguments to show who they agree with.
Posts are thanked for no reason other than liking the post. Thanking goes on as a form of trolling, members who don't like someone will thank their posts over and over to get under their skin. Maybe 10% of actual helpful posts get thanked, otherwise this feature is not being used for its intended purpose. |

What's even more puzzling is that he has thanked other members a (current) total of zero times.
![]() I too have noticed an awful lot of back scratching going on in that department. |

Even more interesting.... he hasn't made a single post since last August- well before the "thanks" button came into being. Things that make you go "Hmmmmm?"

It should be noted there are no limits to getting Thanked via other users digging up old threads to click the Thanks button retro. |

Further proof the "thanking ranking" has zero relevance.
