TeleComNasSprVen <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #36 from TeleComNasSprVen <[email protected]> --- As I understand the feature from having a brief read through the tech news, the Notifications/Thanks feature was developed by the Editor Engagement Experience team, in order to try and strike a fine balance between trying to draw in newer editors by introducing a friendly "Likes" feature and simultaneously keeping it ephemeral and private enough to avoid the public scrutiny of the "We are not Facebook" crowd. Of course, as a feature design, it's extremely difficult to reach that balance without tilting too much one way or the other. I'm surprised that people did not know about the design choice to keep a log public while not revealing the target edit of the Thanks (avoiding point-scoring). At the same time, the third previously unaccounted-for aspect of this feature, which is the accountability, and subsequently the abuse, did not seem to be properly addressed. Perhaps we should make something even as trivial as a friendly thank you message to someone else, subject to intense scrutiny, curation, triple-checking and investigation for abuse by oversighters or whatever powers that be. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
