Exchange "Thanks"?

[Steve]

So I got this idea...
Can we use the "Thanks" we have as currency?

Lets say:
50 Thanks for 1 Rep point.
100 Thanks for more PM space.
250 Thanks for a New Style
(just some examples)

That could be a good idea to get achievements and that way we'd work harder to get more Thanks .

Other suggestions are great to improve this idea

No that's dumb, no offense xD

Thanks is for minor things.
Rep is for bigger contributions.

I know, I thought about this because sometimes you get thanks for posting a funny comment or random stuff so getting a lot of them wouldnt be hard.

Well rep is for contributions, for well written guides, or helping with free lends, or just helping the forum in general.

I use thanks for little things. If I agree with something but don't wanna expand upon their post. If somebody gave some advice that helped out, or maybe somebody just made me laugh (:

Rep isn't a currency and thanks aren't really either.
Both are things you need to earn and are awarded to you from other members.

Premium is often used for other perks, which I believe joe said he is going to be incorporating into lifetime premium.

Thanks can't be tracked at the moment so this is not really an efficient way to reward users.
