@divegeestersaid Russ, you may have noticed that there has been some debate about this feature and I would like to make a serious suggestion.
The what:
- make the thumbing of forum posts only available to subscribers
The why:
- clearly it is a feature which many members see value in and that value can be commercialised
- the feature is currently rendered largely useless and ...[text shortened]... e obsolete

@divegeestersaid Do try to keep up Suzianne … following Rusty’s posts won’t help you, he’s like a old dog chasing squirrels and barking up all the wrong trees.
The suggestion in my OP is nothing to do with removing anonymity. Have a read of it and get back to me with your usual rational, balanced thought-through comments.
@suziannesaid Correct, FMF mentioned anonymity, not me.
Why don't you crawl up in his face, instead of mine?
It's always hilarious when the English show they don't quite "get" English.
You were agreeing with what VR said to FMF about anonymity.
I’m following the thread conversation; clearly you are blurting scorn as usual.
If you don’t want me to reply to your nonsense then I suggest you not posting it in the first place.

The plain fact is that this is "exactly" why you are against anonymity -- so you can go after them in the forum in your usual way. Trump wants nothing more than to punish his detractors... just like you.

This alone is why thumbs should remain anonymous.
Am I being clear enough for you?
"Can you hear me now?"
My thread is about making thumbing function for subscribers only.

In the last few weeks about 10000 people have made a move (or registered to the site and didn't move). How many of these are posting?
How many of these are concerned about thumbs?
So how important is this in the bigger frame of things?

By “bigger things” do mean on the scale of eliminating world hunger, stopping wars, curing pestilence, ensuring we aren’t destroyed by AI controlled terminators and maintaining freedom of constructive speech, or are you just trying to silence this topic again?
After all Ponderable, this is by far the longest running thread in the history of “site ideas”, so if that is the “bigger frame of things” you are referring to then I’d it’s pretty big.

So congratulations on the longest Post in Site Ideas.
Actuallysome ideas are picked up and brought into existance. That is what i would look for in a "good" Site Ideas thread. But to each their own.
@ponderablesaid So congratulations on the longest Post in Site Ideas.
Not sure why you feel congratulations are in order, maybe just some less blinkered overweening attitude where other people feel like discussing something.
