Saying thank or not doesn't make any difference. I know you are a newbie and may not really get it. One of the best ways to say thank you is to in my opinion help other newbies answer their questions and give them proper directions wherever you can. It would make the forum a better place.

Do not let anyone mount pressure on you to tell you that you need to send merits to a user as a way of saying thanks. We don't really care for all these things because either way merits will come when someone finds value in what you write.

Please stop replying each post individually

Thanking someone personally is what almost all users do. I did it alot in my newbie days. Even till now I do it. If I don't have merit to reward a post that help me, I will say thanks. Some times, it could be a 1 line thanks or below a post by quoting it.

Newbies coming from the background of social media will always suggest things like facebook likes which I did also when I was a newbie. But when they grow into the system, they will understand that this system although is not close to perfect but is not also bad. By then, they will stop trying to suggest many changes to the forum.

I don't think op deserve any insult because he does not understand how the forum works. We should always easily correct people especially when they do not understand how the system works. Some persons were advising op to give out merit as a means of saying thank you. How would someone that do not have merit nor understand how the merit system works to give merit? That should be so because the forum is seen like a regular social media when people come and enquire about something, if they get answer to there enquiry, thank you would be the compliment not sharing merit just like the person opinion I saw on this thread.

I must say that I appreciate this advice, many are in the forum who are not just considerate as you do not know the mental health of the person you are talking to. This is why I like to be calm in some situations so that I will not regret my actions eventually. Although the OP is kinda rude too, the way he propagated the message is just as if he was blackmailing the forum management. If I must ask, who can he blackmail? Just as I advised him in my first reply, I told him that if he made his threat good, it was only the fastest way to completely get banned from the forum.

For Christ's sake, this is not a normal social media platform or any other forum that will enable the "Thanks/Likes" button as he wanted. And since he is not the first or the last to register here, he must admit and obey the rules of the forum. Peradventure he can't obey it, there is nothing wrong in excusing himself from the forum if our deeds don't tally with his. That is civil enough.

What's with the search limit, I'm a regul;ar user not a bot,
got this You are searching too quickly. Wait 90 seconds. (There is a Google-based search engine on the search page that does not have this limit.)

So I waited 90 seconds, searched again, didnt find anything on the page so I clicked next page and I get the saMe message again,
all i dfid was click the next button.

You'll have to wait if you wanna use the forums search engine. It's not that great. Instead use the google based search engine. It doesn't have any time limits.

Edit: You won't get any results that are outside of Bitcointalk. For example if you searched "Facebook", it won't show up. It will only show links related to Bitcointalk.

I'd actually appreciate thanks button. Often, I come across posts that deserves merit, but then again I deplete sMerit as soon as I earn it. Sometimes, I write post links in to-do list to merit later, but quite fed up with to-do lists lately as they make me dwell upon past than present.

Good if Bitcointalk could have 'thanks' without any perks. Just use it to say thanks.

I highly doubt theymos would implement it. Already there are tons of proposal/improvement/patches that are still pending waiting for his approval. Just look at the 2FA features. People have been asking for it for years and now after many years we got it. So I guess, OP have to wait long to get something as the "thanks" button.

If you write merely thanks, it'll likely get deleted.

He is not obliged to thank anyone. Don't you agree? It's not mandatory.

If OP's really new in the forum it's a process he'll learn like we did. He'll ask questions to understand what's the way here. The problem's happen when ppl who aren't newbies ask questions. How many ppl don't know how merits work. If they've found the forum they've studied what's going on before they've registered.

Some people don't have any idea how the Forum works until they might have stayed for some days browsing through the Forum, while some have already gotten the tips on how the Forum works but still they ask questions about the Forum like they don't know. Some don't know if there's anything like merit and when they finally get one they start asking questions about it. So I don't think we need to blame some members who ask questions about how the merit system works.

Merit is used as thanks but it has limits. Thanks button would be different and limitless. I don't think it's really important, if it existed I would use it but since it doesn't exist, I don't feel the lack of it. About emoticons, I don't think we should turn this place into facebook or other social media. I know these kind of forums that try to have all features in it, that's only confusing to new people. I prefer simple machines forum as simple as possible.

Having the Forum to be the way we are seeing it is better than including those features and it will make the Forum to be some how unserious. The Forum shouldn't be seen as a place people come and exchange messages and all that (like Facebook or Instagram etc). Is best for new users to take this place to be a very serious place, a place where no nonsense is taken. Let the merit serve as a like button before we start hearing suggestions like, let the Forum have a share button too.

If there's no merit I feel that's when you should be asking or suggesting of such, for now merit can be used to show you appreciate the users post or information given to the public.

What about in a situation whereby the user has no available merit to say thank you?, but really needs to express his/her feelings about what the member has done without having to write thank you, And such a scenario usually happens when someone has provided us with the very answers we needed. Using a like feature when we run out of merit would make sense if added and thus spicing up the forum a bit with a new feature “like button” though this is not something I would say is very important right now, but it is a feature that could be considered in the future.

If the user doesn't have any sMerit then let that user improvise, it mustn't be all about merit, the user can use words to show how useful the information is to him or her and maybe later the user can drop the merit anytime.
To me adding of those thank you features or like button would make this Forum look a little bit childish, it will look like a play ground. Is best to have the Forum to be the way it is now, adding those features is a no no for me.

This applies only to those users who have already been rewarded with merit earlier. Merit-sources are an exception.

But more often than not, newcomers have no merit so that they can give thanks using this. They can only do it mentally (thanking).

Have nothing to do? Posts that deserve gratitude (and merit) will find their thanks. They will be other forum users. You don't have to do this yourself.

Certainly, you can go ahead and do that, but the outcomes won't be what you expect. Spamming the forum can lead to negative tags or more serious consequences. I'm curious about your thought process before creating this thread. If you intended to suggest a thank-you button, it would have been better to create a more professional thread. The forum already has a merit system that serves the same purpose as a thank you. When you contribute with helpful posts or replies, other members with sendable merit may thank you by sending some your way. Focus on earning merits and avoid creating spammy posts.

The "thank you" button is only commonly used on social media and some forums also apply it but we already have a "merit system" in my opinion if there is anything better than this, in other forums, they apply "karma" instead of the like button or thank you.

Hi OP, what's the benefit of creating an account but in the end your account is banned because of inappropriate actions and this time continuous spam is something that is difficult to forgive, I haven't included you in my 'ignore list', but if I continue If you spam, don't be surprised if your account ends up being banned.

In my understanding, "thank you" is best said through appreciation. Let's say, for instance, you want to say thank you, by just typing the words, it's not really felt and then it just appears like the regular cliche but when you show appreciation, that's a whole new level.

Appreciation can be shown, in this forum, by awarding merits to the particular post of interest, or increasing rewards, or adding bonus points. All of these are better ways of saying thank you than just typing the words.

The best way to say thank you is to merit the person's post, and that's it.

If you keep spamming the comment section, you can either get tagged or get your account banned, and then you might no longer be allowed to do anything.

Meriting is a sign of appreciation. But if you are still in the process of earning merits, then a simple thank you is enough. You don't have to spam the forum because that is violating the rule already. And you would not want to be out in the forum when you still have high motivation to learn.

However, if you have gained enough merits to share, then the fact that you appreciate one's post or idea, then meriting the user is the best response.

On the whole I would generally agree with this. However, when you have newbie accounts created and operated by experienced members to push forward an agenda under the guise of newbies asking questions innocently because they find certain features difficult or making suggestions to improve the forum (or something else), I do not have sympathy nor compassion for them.

By far most of the real newbies posting in the forum already have researched subjects such as merits and posts.

Quote from: Lida93 on December 20, 2023, 09:51:30 AM

As a newbie you might find the use of certain features in the forum difficult for now but with time you will come to appreciate their usefulness and purpose, making provisions for a like button to posts/comments would make the forum look like one of those social media platforms like Facebook where everything goes with a like(s).

To add another point:

Being on x.com for a while i notice a different view of posting messages online.

i have used forums a lot so the rules are almost embedded in my brain now, but i dont want that. thats not me.

so now that i post here, i feel that a lot of rules are just strict. very strict. why?

In each countries you may be privileged nto go, they have their own rules, accept ours here as it is and enjoy thesame or even more exciting moments from bitcointalk, disobey the rules and ended the whole journey as quick as possible, now the decision lies in your hands, if there's no rules then there's no sin.

You're talking here in parables, why bot come out straight on whom your target is and that you're addressing this at, am sure you're hiding under without using your main account to be saying these.

And by destroying i would much rather let it grow and improve for other people to use.

Just as someone would always thought about destroying the entire world by building a nuclear weapon, but later to consider how his family would have been also affected and how he cannot leave the whole world alone, then change his decision.
