I agree with this comment, this is why I have chosen "NO".

Which is why I liked the "xx has been thanked xx times" facility which is positive only

Well it's pretty clear what most of you think - and it aligns with my thinking too, so it's OFF!
Now when someone asks for it I can say without any doubt that the people who count don't want it! I never thought it was a good idea - you'll notice we've been going a very long time without it  But if YOU ask for something, we'll always do our best to give it to you.
thanks for all the feedback everyone!

I'm looking at this, it has potential, but there isn't much like it for vBulletin - the motorhomes site is on phpbb and so won't work. If anyone sees it on a vb site let me know.
Anyone any comments on Tim's idea?
yes / no?

I'm more willing to give it a go. Positive is better IMHO.
I think it would make my day if someone actually liked some of the misspeltted rubbish I type. I would however be pretty narked the first time someone informed me that as I've only got so many posts, so many House Points and can barely spell my own name, my opinion is less valued than others. Could be more work for the site moderation guys who'd have to inform the misinformed that the "Get me a  Noob" thing isn't the HUBB way?
Is there a risk the quieter guys might just click "Like" rather add their own comments and we'd loose something valuable?

I cringe at the thought of the hubb turning into some kind of facebook with a system like that....

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
