Can anyone explain this new Thanking feature?

[Douglas]

I think it's too similar to the rep system,it's like having 2 parallel systems,one will eventually stop being used or will not be used as often. If I thank someone,why would I need to give them reps?

What if I thank someone AND rep them?

OK just a little update i have added a little number feature to the post titles and re titles to show just how many reps a post got....

it will also show neg reps if they where given

average reps for a post if neg will show as red
average reps for posts if pos will show as green.

should make intresting reading
