I was the one who mentioned the emoji system but I am actually against them myself :lol:

I think that your intent is noble and understandable, however a 1-bit system would not prevent people from "thanking" offensive posts.

I think that posting "thanks" maybe is the best thing. Not all people are polite/empathetic enough to thank devs for their hard work on free software but I think that just one people thanking you as a free software developer can change your day, perhaps your life! :D

@milk I looked at the ODROID link you posted. You must need to be logged in to see the 'thanks' button, or the number of 'thanks' a post has. For us to see what you mean we'd need a screenshot.

It looks like this;

Does it also display publicly who gives negatives ?
There are no negatives.

It's a 1-bit system, i.e., it has two states, e.g. "Thumb up" and, well, no thumb up. :)

After repeated requests Thumbs up?, I wonder if this function is possible here in the forum. In the meantime, I am also of the opinion that this could be a useful function.

I agree that if there are many requests, maybe it should be implemented! :D

Apparently the plugin was since updated to support phpbb 3.3.0, so I've installed it.

Let's give it a try and evaluate if we want to keep it after a while.

OK, so I thanked one post (not even the OP, but a later response by the original author) and this was the result:
thanks.png
thanks.png (10.29 KiB) Viewed 6000 times
This way it seems like the piece has a bad rating of 2.5/10 rather than that somebody actually liked the piece. I don't like this, I think it could make things seem almost competitive. I would disable it at least for the original scores section.

I don't like the rating that much either. ^^ Can you turn off the rating so only "These users thanked the author $foobar for the post (total x):
xx, xxx, xxxx
be displayed?

I managed to remove the rating while keeping the thanks
