    Question Regarding this forum

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask so if not please move elsewhere

    I am pretty new to this community and I like to find a lot of useful stuff here and some very clever and helpful people around

    I am computer geek and have been with comps since early 90's. I spend a lot of time online doing a lot of stuff and I use, administrate or moderate on many forum sites and communities.
    I work on a lot of forum systems like myBB, phpBB, XenForo, etc...

    I really miss some bit and pieces here especially some kind of a user ranking system, or award system. The reason being as for me as a new user I do not know how to find the right person who can help. Or if I do find some post very helpful how do I say thank you or how do I say I like some stuff without unnecessary posts like "that was it, thank you", "thanks, that helps" which just flood the whole threads and forum in general.
    Thank you can brows pages after pages of this kind of replies which are not really helpful to someone who search some answers.
    Hope you got my point here

    Is this something what can be taken for a consideration? Any chance to have something like this here maybe?

    What is wrong with a polite "thank you" and an acknowledgment that it has fixed your problem.
    Saying "I like" the post does not say if it was helpful or not in resolving an issue.

    nothing wrong, but is just flooding board with replies which are not useful and helpful to anyone else.. so simple "Thank you" button do exactly this

    If it is anything like the rep system on Wigwam I'd say "no thanks". Whilst it's not always the case, some of the highest rated people are only there because they have a coterie of followers who simply agree with whatever they say. Often they are rude and dismissive to any outsider and their rep is the opposite of their actual usefulness and helpfulness. Of course, this is a different forum, but my feeling is that this system breeds bullies and sycophants by encouraging cliques and mutual back slapping.

    Just my view of course.

    Marco.
    All hifi forums seem to have cliquey nature about them, whether it be 'bigging up' sellers and their products or just general ass-kissiness. A thumb-up, like button or just comments of approval, it makes no difference how it is evidenced. Buying secondhand isn't easy, as you just don't know how tainted the recommendations are.
    Still, it passes the empty minutes in between real life.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
