Jun 19, 2020 at 13:59 comment added einpoklum I oppose the "thanks" feature, but if a person is discouraged from down-voting upon noticing many "thanks", then - that person is rethinking their position. That's not a bad thing in itself. So -1 on this answer.

Jun 18, 2020 at 11:21 comment added PM 2Ring @Jean-FrançoisFabre We were given advanced notice on this new feature 6 months ago, see meta.stackexchange.com/q/339283/334566
Jun 18, 2020 at 8:36 comment added RobertS supports Monica Cellio The analysis is wrong regarding another point: It's not the percentage of "thanks" or "Thank you" comments, it's the percentage of comments with "thank" in it which were counted for the statistic. That's a big big difference and is not appropriate. Comments with "thank" in it can indeed have a sense. Only the comments which have the purpose to say "Thank you" should be counted. I explained that in my answer as Critical Addendum as well.

Jun 17, 2020 at 21:58 comment added Cody Gray Mod I was surprised way more than you, @TemaniAfif. No, we were not consulted in any way.
Jun 17, 2020 at 21:37 comment added Jean-François Fabre Mod we got notified an hour before that post came up, and we definitively weren't consulted.
Jun 17, 2020 at 21:30 comment added Temani Afif @Jean-FrançoisFabre out of curiosity: are moderators notified internally before a feature is implemented/released? or they are surprised like us?
Jun 17, 2020 at 20:45 comment added Adrian Mole @Jean-FrançoisFabre Something to relieve the otherwise uneventful lives of our Moderators: You can now go out looking for Thanking Rings.

Jun 17, 2020 at 20:16 comment added Proud anti-zionist @cs95 That would render it completely useless, since at that reputation level, you can cast upvotes.
Jun 17, 2020 at 20:11 comment added coldspeed95 They could solve the problem of "why this and not that" by making reactions exclusively available to only <15 rep and anons. But one thing you're on point, this needs more investigation (it's pretty half-baked atm).
