Has there been thought into a 'like a post' feature, not too dissimilar to liking a status on Facebook? I understand it may seem a little vain, but I think many people (myself included) want to credit someone with a good/amusing post etc, but it may not necessarily warrant a thank you.
It's less than a thank you, but still an acknowledgement. Including like as option I feel would still justify the use of the thank you feature, but it would allow users to use it more sparingly for when a post truly warrants a 'thank you.'
Just my piece anyway, sorry
