I know that one can shut off the "thanks" in selected forums, but I'd still like the "thanks" to be available there. For instance thanks in the "jokes" section are worth 1 rep point, "thanks" in the on-topic areas are worth 5.

Make sense?

Is this possible?

Actually I solved this problem by installing the "groan" mod. I have "thanks" turned off in the off-topic forums, and the groan mod turned on. I renamed the "groan" phrases in the xml file to "Way To Go", replaced the button with a custom one, and disabled the rep points for the mod. Now members can WTG each other without rep points going through the roof
