--- Comment #37 from Ryan Kaldari <[email protected]> --- One of the other considerations that weighed heavily in the design of the Thanks feature was to avoid the feature bloat that doomed ArticleFeedback. Everyone hated ArticleFeedback because it required so much work to curate, monitor, and oversight for very little actual benefit. Thanks was designed to avoid all of that by being dead simple and ephemeral. While keeping a detailed permanent record of every action that transpires on Wikipedia sounds like a good idea on paper, it has real costs in additional workload for the community, especially folks like admins and oversighters who have to deal with complaints. The way we tried to strike a balance was giving people a way to complain about Thank volume abuse (sending too many thanks), but avoiding the drama of people complaining about who thanked who for what edit. Do we really want another noticeboard for "Inappropriate thanks"? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
