New [hide] tags and Thank You buttons and what they do and mean

[Caesar]

Ive added [ hide ] tags to prevent leaching. (Use tags without spaces)

When posting a link please put it inside the hide tags.

Example: [ hide ] http://www.streethop.com [/ hide ] <<--- without the spaces

There are two ways this tag works and the hidden content is revealed.

1. When someone replys to the thread, the hidden content is revlead.

2. When someone clicks "Thank You" on the post (bottom right of the post) the hidden content is revealed. In this case the original poster also recieves an extra rep point.

Soon posters who recieve a certain amount of rep points will have access to certain extra perks.

Hopefully this encourages users to post more, thank each other more, and will also stop guests from leaching links without adding anything to the discussion or the community.

[Preach]

nice. it sucks when it's on other forums but i don't care when it's one i'm on daily.

 

[Rahim]

i was wondering what that was when i saw that

 

[Casey]

Coolio.

 

[Cooper]

I don't really care for that idea.

 

[Flipmo]

Thanks, you fucking [hide]faggot[/hide]

I don't know why, but I thanked Ceasar and automatically I could also see Flipmo's hidden content. So when I click "thank you" on one person all hidden contents on the same page are then visible after refreshing. Was it supposed to work like that?

Seeing how people abused the rep and tags system leads me to believe this will be abused as well. So rather than have people thanking every post in a thread to boost their thanks and reps I have decided to limit it to the thread starter. This will mostly be used in the download forums anyway, and it is one thread per download there so it should work fine.

how was the rep system abused?

 

[Rukas]

^^ People would agree to trade reps and stuff like that.

and the ads? Seriously, they have to go, at least for VIP. Then again, I haven't seen any ads today, only yesterday. hm.

lol at Maverick in this thread, what's he doing? i mean, thanks for the thanks, lol, but wth?

 

[Maverick]

im just testing it out.

functionality seems persistent, off to run some more tests..

 

[Preach]

i noticed that just thanking doesn't reveal any hidden links for me. i also have to reply.

 

[Maverick]

one day i wanna have a thousand thanks.
