    Thanks for the suggestion, Andy, and for all the feedback everyone else.

    There is an option for negative scoring in the reputation system in vBulletin. I've had that turned off from the start for the reason crabfoot forwarded. Places like DP use negative rep to find and weed out the idiots. I didn't think we needed that here.

    We have a stupid "Karma" thing on ours. I'm currently looking into replacing it with "Thanks" in the same way as on here. The negative Karma button was abused and the users hated it. (Also some twit gave Dave a heap of negative Karma because he removed their spam.) It's all been tightened up since then but IMO it's still not the best solution.

    I like the way it works on here. If I get a thanks for my post, then I feel all warm and fuzzy about it. The karma thing is mystery meat - you've no idea who thanked whom for what.

    As for giving negatives to spammers or oxygen thieves, I don't need a negative thanks button - I just ban them.
    More Menu Madness - it makes you want to ask for the "check please".

    I like Thanks button. Itīs easy to use and not complicated. Negative karma can be a can of worms if used incorrectly. And from what i see there arenīt enough users on this forum to justify itīs use on my opinion.

    So to me keep it as simple as possible. Just like it is.
