The OP (original poster) was a feature that would be useful, if it existed. These forums run on Simple Machines Forum (SMF) software which has no "thank you" option.
Ah! Thank you very much.

Ah! Thank you very much.
But how does one actually DO a thank you click for another's post? I've spent 15 minutes trying to find some icon to click, or a FAQ that describes the procedure. Is it turned off in my newbie setup or am I just blind today or something?

i think it would be more effective if in order to advance you had to get a certain number of 'thank-you' clicks from people who you help out rather than just mere posts.
I think that's a great idea. But how does one actually DO a thank you click for another's post? I've spent 15 minutes trying to find some icon to click, or a FAQ that describes the procedure. Is it turned off in my newbie setup or am I just blind today or something?
How about they just take Bitcoin donations to unlock full membership..... Yeah that'll work!
You've just described witcoin

Well I've been mining kicks in the ass for awhile now. I'd be happy hand those out for free to get rid of this garbage.
You mean the trolls? Lol
certainly you must realize that not all non-bitcoin holders are trolls...

I think a solution that still allows non-bitcoin holders to talk to bitcoin holders is considerably better than this idea.

Since i made the OP i have been thinking about it and i really like my idea, and that is something i don't say often. By setting an amount of thank yous that must be received you force any would-be troll to either keep his noise in one place or to at least pretend to be a useful member of society for a bit, and who knows, they just may enjoy that more than trolling.
Or it could be a combo.
50 posts and 5 thank you's!

this way you could allow all these new mods to get back to being the regular posters they are and you allow this section to be a cluster fuck that is weeded by those who want to advance to regular status.

I agree, but it is hard for newbies to get "thank you"s, because they will most of the time ask the questions, not answer them. Never mind the fact that most people simply ignore the functionality exist at all.
I knew there is/was a "reputation" thing, and mysteriously I can't see it anymore
there will always be brand new newbies that ask questions that 2 minutes of research will result in an answer, if you want to advance out of newbie stage, you do a little homework and help out someone else.
It's true the Thank You solution would be another alternative to 50 posts. But as long as the moderation team can keep up with troll posts it will pretty much work to be the same.
