In summary, the conversation discussed the idea of having a "Thanks" button on the site to express gratitude towards helpful users. Some suggested simply posting a "Thank you", while others debated the need for statistical methodology or a "No thank you" button. However, the overall sentiment was that a Thank You button may not be necessary as it is a solution without a problem.

I think there should be a "Thanks" button on this site. You press it for an user whenever they help you out. Any ideas on this?

NO. There must be some sort of statistical methodology behind Thank Yous that we will enforce.

If we model Thank Yous as particles, would they follow Fermi-Dirac statistics or Bose-Einstein statistics?

If we model them as waves, they'd be friendly waves -

There should also be a "No thank you" button.

And a "Thank You and No Thank You" button for superpositions of states.

On a serious note, I don't really see the need for a Thank You button. It's a solution without a problem.
