Looking for suggestions

[Ted]

Anybody have anything cool they'd like to see here? Any minor suggestions are welcome as well!

Like the new format, Ted. Hopefully, no more porn and viagra spam.

A suggestion. Perhaps a user CP. I have seen it on other sites. Posters can click on 'thanks' to give a helper credit points.

Just a thought.

Posters can click on 'thanks' to give a helper credit points.

The problem with that (as I've learned on another site) is that the people who complete the homework assignment (so cheaters can copy-n-paste into their homework or online test form) get high "scores", while those who invest great care, consideration, time, and effort into crafting excellent teaching replies get slammed.

It should be noted that the people most likely to "vote" (the ones having the time, due to not doing their homework) are going to attack those who try to help them learn. That's because they don't want to learn; they just want easy points, and get very offended, upset, and abusive if you actually try to tutor them.

I'd advise against such a plan. It's a nice idea, but I'm afraid it ends up rewarding the wrong sort of "help". :?

I too would vote against the “Thankyou Button”.
I agree with all the reasons Eliz gave not to add such a button.

I recall that you guys were against it before so I will not be adding any such feature... it'd be nice to have positive reviews of the tutors and such... but I think it would be too much work trying to keep it fair.
