Post Thank You Hack 7.4

About this hack:
One of the biggest problems on forums as you may know is 'posts boosting'. There are users who LOVE to say 'thanks' when ever they can. How can it hurt? Their post count goes up, they have nothing to loose.

There are also users who really like to express their thanks to post but don't like posting a post that looks like they're post boosting.

Then comes the moderators who have to delete people's thanks yous so a thread can look readable with out the thanks yous thrown around.

Finally comes the posters of these useful posts. They have no idea how many people really likes their posts if only some people say 'thanks'.

What this hack does is fix ALL these problems - except those users who like post boosting. This places a button called 'thanks.' When a user clicks on it, it places his username in a box right under the post saying that so-and-so says 'thanks' for the post. Every-one who clicks is placed in one box.

By giving your users the extra feature, you forum will look allot nice and organized. It is a guaranteed liking by ALL the members of your forum.

How can i change this mod so that it wont display any thanks info in the users profile.

I have removed the rep system from my site as it goes against my forums purpose and this could be seen as rep.

I love the mod and really weant to use it but need to have it without this.

thanks

anyone able to help me out?

I know you can turn the count off, but I would like to remove the display as well.

Can only Super admins delete thanks? I want all my admins and mods to be able to delete thanks but only I seem able to.

Is there anyway to disable the "post" that is made in the thread "The following user(s) say thank you to so-and-so for this useful post" which displays the names of the users that clicked "thanks"?

We have installed the hack and it works great, we would just like to keep a total of how many times a user was thanked rather than display who thanked who in order to avoid some childishness that may come as a result (why didn't so and so thank me?).

Any option to turn the "thanks post" on or off would be great, maybe at the user level so mods and admins could see it but not registered users?

TIA,
Scott

I will include a screenshot so you can see what I am talking about, if you know how I can enable this for all members please let me know thanks.

Abe would you mind taking a look at this for me and maybe we can come up with a fix? I have had this problem for sometime now.
