Well, I agree with you basically. And its weird - last week I was going to start a thread, but I knew the pics were a little out of the mainstream, so to speak. Meaning, they weren't likely to get a lot of responses because the subject was just a little bizarre. And I thought twice about it because of the thanks feature whereas in the past, I wouldn't have. So it has crept into my thinking a little bit.
And then consider that there are like 40,000 more members here than there were a year ago. Thats 40,000 people who will lap up any repost and thank it profusely if it hasn't been posted in a year. So where do we stand?
I need to follow my own advice given in another thread - just do what you've always done and don't change your posting habits because your audience now has a thank you button. And as for rating systems - we often give scores like "10", "9" etc to babes. Now we'll see how it feels to be on the other end of that, to be receiving scores rather than giving them.
