Given thanks matters?

[Guardian]

Let me be clear: I don't really care much either way, it's obviously super minor. That said, my problem with it is that it's completely arbitrary. Why not also list our average word count per post, the total number of seconds we've spent online, the number of spaces we've used, etc..

As you wrote earlier, you can increase and decrease the likes counter in any time. In my opinion, it should be turned off, because in order to get a thanks you have to deserve it and that's all.

Not even being rude, but who actually cares? It's a couple number not a big deal if you got problems with it need to sort yourself out first

This, while we're at it why don't we remove age too because that can be set and also has 0 meaning?

At a push you could come up with an argument that it should be optionally shown, just like age. Honestly seems like something that doesn't need editing though. Change purely for the sake of change, isn't worth changing.

Most people don't lie about their age. And no, it doesn't have 0 meaning. It helps describe who the user is. I'd like to see an argument for why thanks given should be kept, other than the fact it already exists.

Like I said in my other post, I really don't care much about whether or not it gets changed, but at this point I'm deep into it and I just want to see if someone can actually justify keeping it.

this is a non-issue. you couldve put your energy into better things rather than this thread.

Rune-Server and wasted time go hand in hand

"I think that on a Rune-Server forum we should not flaunt numbers when it comes to given/received thanks."
Yes I also think we shouldn't flaunt rep power as well

no support, its just a number

You stated what you want changed but you didn't state why in your original post. It might be worth making an argument for yourself. It might also be worth playing devils advocate and put yourself in the opposing shoes. For example, doesn't it make more sense to keep them separate to clearly indicate what type of thanks the person has whether it's given or received? Unfortunately I really can't support something that doesn't have an argument.

It makes more sense to me to refer to a 'thanked post' as a 'supported post' and have a 'support' button rather than a 'thanks' button.
Not really sure its worth changing though for what it is.
