Question on 'Thanks'

[readonly]

I have a question on the 'Thanks' policy here. Observe the images posted below, where I (as Bangalorean) have received 'Thanks' for my posts, in this thread:

I observe now, that the Thanks no longer exist there. This historical snapshot information in the images was obtained through google cache.

Questions:

1. I don't think a member can remove the Thanks he has already given to someone. Is that right?

2. If point (1) is true, then, is it a bug in the forum that caused these thanks to disappear, or is it being removed from the back end, for whatever reason?

And yes, this ID is a double account of Bangalorean, created specifically to post this question since Bangalorean was banned (not sure why, maybe the offending post should be mentioned in reason for ban henceforth to make it clearer).

You can either ban this current user readonly, ban Bangalorean user permenantly, impose an IP ban on this IP - as you wish - my only intention was to bring forth this issue. Mainly because I have seen such things happening mysteriously many times in the past, but I always put it down to my own absent-mindedness. But this time I was pretty sure and thought this issue requires to be highlighted.

Sure, read the complete post, till the end - I describe this double ID thing in greater detail further down.

I didn't understand what you are trying to say and i guess you could have explained in simple english far better than colouring the whole snapshots with different colours

Anyway, couple of months ago - A remember could remove his thanks that he left on anybody's post.... now he is no longer allowed to remove the given thanks

Now if you had a thanks button you can no longer remove it

The management could remove thanks of everybody in just 1 click.... now since that feature has been disabled I don't know if they still can remove thanks or not

I don't know what you said, but this is what i understood and believe you were talking about

he's simply saying he received thanks but they mysteriously disappeared afterwards...does that mean someone removed them deliberately or is this a glitch?

Maybe once you get banned all the "thanks" are removed, only the statistics remain.

"Bangalorean" you will surely be missed, welcome "readonly" to the forums

Does banned mean that the whole forum becomes "readonly" for the user? ... hence your username... (just out of curiosity)

Once you are banned you cannot give thanks and nobody can thank you.

Therefore, dont get banned.
