    Has the Thank System Changed or Is My PC Screwy?

    Of late, I've noticed that I can no longer see links to my recently Thanked posts when I click on Settings, which was a handy option when I received more than one in a day for different posts. Now I have to memorize their locations the first time.

    I've also noticed that I can no longer give people Reputation points aside from normal Thanks.

    Does my computer have some kind of bug that's doing that or have other people noticed the same things? Has the Thank/Reputation system just been changed recently or is it my computer?

    The reputation points system was taken down. It no longer exists. The MODS and the VIPS discussed the issue, arrived at a consensus, and ADMIN implemented the policy.

    The rationale given (and which I agree with) is that reputation points are opaque, nonsensical, and subject to abuse/manipulation. The thanks system is more transparent and straightforward and is consistent with how most traditional social media platforms operate.

    Aaaah, okay! I get what you mean, Ethereal, since the Reputation points weren't posted publicly. I never understood that aspect of them myself. That's why I always did both that and a Thank when I thought somebody deserved a Reputation point, which I gave out for posts I found extra-extra useful or spot-on, as sort of a "level 2" Thank.

    But why don't normal Thanks appear in Settings anymore?

    Never noticed link to thanks on settings, but this link will get you there: http://thepoliticalforums.com/recent_thanks.php

    Reps are gone. Announcement about reps: http://thepoliticalforums.com/thread...n-Point-System. VIPs with near unanimous decision got rid of it.

    I'm not sure.

    Here is the link you can use to view your recent thanks: http://thepoliticalforums.com/recent_thanks.php

    Maybe bookmark it until this is resolved?

    A couple of our more conservative members decided it wasn't fair that they didn't have as many reputation points as some of the liberals so they whined and $#@!ed until the mods turned it off to shut them up.

    Typical snowflakes.
