A MAN SEEKING FOR KNOWLEDGE

u can not disagree on that Wink

lets say we have +50 page of comments in a topic that have good concept im sure reading all the posts is waste of time but if we have a thumps up button i can just bye pass to see topic with a thumps up that users before me read them and liked them

u know that thump up is well known in the social media where people exchange idea and info .....etc

The only advantage of a 'thumbs up' button would be if members used it instead of posting "+1" or "me too" or "I like that", or any of the other approbations that clutter the threads.

that is kind of joke Grin

? how can the "report to moderator" button be more effective than the thumps up button ?

Why is it a joke? 'thump' means to strike or punch. Striking a post means hitting it, or reporting it to a moderator.

same existing replies with a different style ( some only copy past )

The only one solution to this has a limit in replies in every thread to avoid same thought and limit on pages(15-20 pages I guess)
OP may lock the thread if they meet the limit on replies.

and while the merit system was created to solve that problem he kinda of failed because people still doing same posts for an obvious reason signature bounties

No, I think there is an improvement in the forum since the merit system was implemented by sir theymos, everyone was trying themselves to have a quality post and hoping that every post count they have they earn merit as well.

What do you mean by spam? if they have the same thought with the OP's post still it is counted. That does not matter how long or short that you have posted as long as relevant to the topic and sharing idea.

if you browse some of the posts in bitcoin talk u will notice lot of unnecessarily reply to posts or some people agree with the post owner while other may just repeat the

same existing replies with a different style ( some only copy past )

and while the merit system was created to solve that problem he kinda of failed because people still doing same posts for an obvious reason signature bounties

( some will say that merit was for rank ..well yes it is but its kind of created a solution and problem in the rank system )

so my main concern is why bitcoin talk forum don't have a thump up button ? that will solve lot of problems and reduce spam

If you find any scam and spamming with the usage of merits. One thing all the people missed while they are opening the thread, they just missed to use the search bar above in the forum
Before anyone want to create a thread in any section for asking their question. Better they may try it to avoid that creating thread and spamming replies below to that. If newbies asks there we must need to help them. instead divert them to use the right thing.
