Flames An Appeal for Unlimited Thanks: A New CP Playoff tradition?

So i've just been going through the PGT thread from the game last night, lots of thankable posts, as I'm sure there will be through the coming days and hopefully weeks.

I would like to petition the mod group to allow users to have unlimited thanks between now and the end of the playoffs so that we can appropriately single out tremendous posts for the masses.

I want to be able to thank every Gaskal ATL and every puppet guy post with impunity.

Give me all the thanks so that I may spread the love.

What say ye?

And I would have thanked your post in agreement, but as you said...scarcity is an issue these days.

When every post is thanked, none of them are.

Perhaps merely a doubling or tripling of available thanks's would be ok?

I don't want to harsh anyones' mellow but I mostly scroll on a phone, and the big ultra-thanks posts (Gaskal, Puppet) do take up extra screen real estate.

I turn off sigs and avatars to keep it lean, and this change could balloon it out.

Apologies for being "that guy".

Even just doubling them would be alright without being too crazy I think

I disagree. I read the first two pages of a thread and then just read the posts with 5 thanks or more. It's basically crowd sourcing.

This would ruin my forum reading framework

You would just have to change your strategy accordingly. Something like to 10 thanks or more.

I would thank you Flash Walken, but I'm all out of thanks!

Definitely think this would be good for Playoffs.

I get a little loose with my thanks when I'm drunk.

I'll likely be drinking a bunch over these playoffs.
