lol!
Good sb! I just read a list of my flagged posts, which I have been wondering about. One was definitely neither rude, lewd nor conflictive, and I am 100 percent positive who flagged the other three.
Better, I agree with can, and others above, this has already improved the posting behavior of some members who necessitated new measures in the first place.
Best, besides consistently making great posts, points and contributions, Dale has now recently referenced Styx AND Rush!
Dale can’t be that bad of a guy if he digs Rush.
Excellent idea! Sb! Please.
Oh god, no. Half of my posts contain failed humor.
Try startpage.com. It provides google search results without google’s tracking, profiling or “filter bubble”. It even submits your searches securely so your ISP can’t see what you’re searching either (which also means it won’t be in your browser history). And startpage themselves does no tracking, recording IP addresses or anything whatsoever. privacy-policy
I think you might have forgotten to quote the important part of my post, the failed humour! 
It’s nice to see a “karma tool” is being implemented in this lovely forum.
Can i suggest a javascript or a few php lines to make reclaiming karma points easy, i’d like to be reincarnated into a food critic, or a dog, i recon dogs and cats are our masters and have the best lives, surely the last step befor nirvana
Dumb question but why do some think we need a thanks button?
Because there is a huge unpopulated hole besides the “no thanks” button
Edit: in all seriousness i can see the appeal, when as is often the case (from Jozz Toykeeper etc…) a member makes a great contribution to the forum in a post, other might be torn between just replying to express gratitude and pilling to a number of “thank you post” with little signal/noise or just stay silent to keep the thread clean, a thx button could help with that
So its a lazy person button. 
Well, it could be construed as that.
But, as others have said, it’s so that the thread doesn’t have to be littered up with +1’s and other congratulatory notes with little or no informational value to add to the discussion. Some people would rather say nothing than to bump a thread to say thanks for something somebody else said.
Personally, I don’t mind the ‘litter’ of thanks notes.
Maybe, sorta, but it also would really cut down on clutter and “thread bloat”. Even when its positive stuff, who wants to log in just to read dozens of new “Thanks!” posts, or worse get email alerts for new thread activity only to find something useless to themselves? I don’t. Ain’t nobody got time fo dat. So I think most of us just don’t say thanks, because it doesn’t add to the conversation. And that’s kind of a shame. So for that reason, I personally also really see the appeal of a “Thanks!” button.
I’m not too fond of a thanks button.
When HKJ posts his 187th (?) battery review I like to thank him for that and always try to (but not always succeed) add why I appreciate the review of that particular battery, and perhaps something constructive for the discussion about the battery. With a ‘thanks’ button I will be tempted to skip all that and my thanks becomes an anonymous entry for a counter.
So a ‘thanks’ button invites me to skip part of the social interaction that I appreciate so much about BLF.
But then, I may just not use it if it is there.
Having a warped mind, I see this automation as being potentially problematic.
If someone has evil intent to seriously damage this forum, he could create several false accounts, then go on a Rude! marking marathon through a lot of very useful posts, reviews, discussions, etc.
Your automatic deletion could destroy a lot of the forum.
Perhaps I’m misunderstanding what “automatically removed” means, but if it results in permanent deletion, that could be a problem.
I suggest instead of automatically deleting a Rude! post, just flag it for your review at a later time.
