Say thanks or just groan - FMFormation.net - Football Manager

As most of you might have noticed, we've got a little something to say thanks to people who post something usefull. It's a little button which says Thanks and when you click on it there will appear an extra line on the post which received the thanks. That extra line mentions the people who've said thanks to that post. It's a nice way for members to thank their fellow FM fans. The amount of thanks you've received will be mentioned in the box of your name when you post something.

But we've added something extra for you guys. When there's an option to say thanks there also should be an option to groan for a spam post or just a stupid post which doesn't make any sense or just isn't friendly at all. You've now got the possibility to groan at people using the Groan button which is mentioned next to the Thanks button. Since we've installed the vBookie system we've mentioned that the post count per day has improved. Members need money to bet so they post more. But as you can understand this has also increased the number of unnecessary/unwanted posts. We would like to tell everyone to try and not to post spam posts or unwanted posts. Conversations like "Hey, you post a lot" - "Yes, so do you" - "Do you need extra bucks to bet" - "Yes I do, what about you" - "I can always use some extra bucks like I'm getting now by posting these unwanted messages". I know this is a somewhat exaggerated example but I hope you get what I'm trying to show here.

So whenever you see someone being unfriendly, posting spam or just a post which doesn't make sense and the poster should be punished for it, please use the Groan button! But also in this case, try to not exaggerate it. Don't Groan at everything you see and that is the same for the Thanks button, don't thank every message. Only use the buttons when they are needed!

Thanks for your time.

Best regards,

FMF Crew
