Reverse/Remove post thanks? - About xda-developers.com

Sometimes people may accidently thank a post. Especially when using tapatalk or other app.
I think we should be able to remove thanks, like on other forums.
This may seem negative, but hey!

Think about the "thanks" button as a kiss. You can´t un-kiss somebody, even if you regret having done it. - h/t cabessius

Can't be done. Not a huge deal anyway I'd say

I think this might be a lie
It is in the Thanks hack - you can enable it to allow people to remove thanks

I should have said, "won't be done"...an accidental Thanks is no big deal.

6.1 issues

so its been more than 2 month that i upgrated my phone with kavana i love it alot and the slide thingy is cool but im having issues now that the battery dies so quick and when i reboot it takes so long to start up! it lags so much and i need some answers of how can i fix this problem i be more appreciated
Buy a new battery. Simple
The new roms use up more power then the old rom.
Thats true, I would recommend getting an extended battery. You will love it...
oh cool so what kind should i get, the same ones or what?
go on ebay and do a search for s621 battery or something similar..you will see a few options ranging from the stock battery all the way up to a big beefy mother f'er...

Why thanks?

I'm new here and I don't really get why everyone in this place seems to be asking for thanks?
Is it some sort of ranking system or what?
The thanks meter is a approximate gauge for indicating longevity/helpfulness.
It's polite to thank people with the "Thanks" button for rendering information.
It also obviates gratuitous posts that just say "Thanks!"
The Thanks button is definitely indicated if you asked a question like "Where can I download the Android SDK?"
Oh okay. "Thanks" for clarifying
The "thanks" meter indicates how much you contributed to the forum imo, and since most of us here at XDA are not idiots and spam the thanks button, the meter should be very accurate.

yeah that's little strange when somebody just ask you to give him a thanks
even if it's worth ...
I don't think you get answer very soon :fingers-crossed:
"if this was helpful to you" ...
well, in fact is not bad to get thanks that's why you become more involved helping people here and all are winners
also I think feedback = know-how is an invaluable "thanks-meter"
well.. done
Moved to About XDA section.
Its acceptable practice to include short message in your signatures, saying people to press thanks if they were helped by that particular post...the same applies for donations also...
However, if you see people "asking" for thanks, (for eg: I will tell you only if you press thanks" or "come on, hit the button) or different other variations...you can report them to any moderator, as "asking" for thanks is not acceptable...
The thanks meter in itself is not a nice indicator of quality...
To get a more better (not the best) idea of "quality", see the posts-to-thanks ratio...
Like someone may have 1000 posts and 100thanks, but the person having 500 posts and 90thanks would provide a little more "quality" work...imo...
Typed using a small touchscreen
as another user i use the thanks meter to indicate if the other user who is helping me is worth listening to and if they actually know they're stuff. as u can see i have a sig' saying the old "if ive helped you click thanks"
to be honest its more of a personal peev' i mean i just sat here and wrote paragraphs of text and searching through old threads just to help someone in texas get theyre galaxy ace unbricked the small effort they put in just clicking the thanks button is just acknowledging the effort i have put in. :highfive:
every time you get recommended a thread/link that user has had to go searching to find it for you, also like i say say i use my thanks meter as a confirmation that the info im giving out is not just spit-bobbed with unacceptable information :laugh:
lol i really luv the new :highfive: lol every time i see it i hear "HI FIEVE!!" FROM BORAT lol

Some people on here have a need for some kind of self-recognition, and they try to do so in any distinguishable way.
For example, when postcount was the only numerical statistic, they'd just post crap to increase their postcount.
When we introduced thanks, they try and thanks-whore, to get more clicks, to get the number higher, to make them feel better about themselves.
Thanks is a useful indicator, but only when people use it correctly When someone who never asks for thanks has a high thanks count, that means more than someone who asks for it all the time - people who help without expecting gratitude tend to be the more helpful people!
where is it?
i had the same question in addition to "where is it"? i rooted my phone over the weekend and really want to send some thanks to helpful posters, but i dont see this button everyone speaks of.
I thought i semi-graduated from noob since i got thru rooting problems by using the search button lots, but i cant find this thanks button, so back to feeling dumb.
thanks (lol) for any help or guidance!

Stock, custom Rom? Special dial pad app? More info please.

Ahhhh yes we all like to edit our signatures and put in images or text about phones that we do not own and then we like to post in forums of phones we don't own. Well surprise I own a SGS3 (Not just 1 but 4 in my house) and I guess because the area I live in is so far advanced I have never had this "lockscreen when busy" happen because people from my planet all have CALL WAITING or VOICE MAIL which would be why I posted my initial reply to you.
In closing I'm sure with your positive and kind personality you have shown many will run to your rescue and provide a possible solution. I wait with excitement.

You can use the Ignore option to put anyone on your Ignore list. Click on the person's name and then Add To Ignore list. Then you will not see his/her posts, but if that person happens to have something benificial, you will not see that either.
Anyone can use the report button but it is for specific reasons/rule violations. If you see anything that breaks those, by all means report it but there has to be a justifiable reason behind the report for it to be actioned.

Bug 9695860 can only affect APKs less than 64k in a very limited situation....
you can patch it with this xposed module if you haven't done so yet!
Bluebox can give false positive as far as I know...try a different scanner to see if you're patched

Alas, Cataclysm has "died" before in the days of the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4. Atl4ntis disappeared for a year or more then and reappeared magically for the N5 and gained a large number of users. However, if he can't hack the stress, it was hardly fair to build up an even larger keen collection of users on FOUR different devices. I'm bitterly disappointed, but sadly not surprised. At least he gave his reasons on Pushbullet.
This is a sad day...... for me and the rest of Cataclysm users.

Thanks. I think I see his point about fairness, but man, does he have to be so nasty about it? Seems like he didn't really need to insult anyone, except maybe the XDA mods that he felt were unfair to him. But perhaps he feels it's a race thing (who knows, perhaps it is).
Anyway, it's too bad they couldn't solve the problems without going ballistic. Hope it turns out to do something positive.
This is all just sad...

Yes, and there is a fact. His method 'cata-mod' is and was very original. So I am confused too, and do not understand the moderators concerned. Especially because a thread with discussions about the 'why' is also closed.
This is not a simple 'not following the rules question'. Apparently we are dispirited to talk further.
I'm very sorry for Atl4ntis and Cataclysm.
He's been a very kind guy, always keen to answer help and fix bugs,
His ROM has been the best I've ever seen so far: a lot a customization, great features, great stability. A great balance.
I hope he will eventually be back, but he will be always remembered as one of the best guys and modder here!
