I absolutely agree with Steve.
For example, is it possible for me to go back to every "guide" that Jim Taylor has ever posted and add an Award? Yes? Great. So I give Jim a "Gold" award for every post that has been helpful to me personally. Then, do I take a view on his other posts, which he's clearly put a lot of work into, but hasn't necessarily been of benefit to me directly - do I award only a "Silver", or maybe a "Bronze"?
I genuinely don't believe these awards add any value; in fact, I think they dilute the value of the several thousand "Helpful" votes that Jim, and other members, have deservedly earned.
Something that I would like to see is a "smiley" option which I could use for those posts which aren't necessarily helpful, per se, but have made me laugh out loud, or smiled and simply brightened my day (Villas y sus amigos!) 😄
Kind regards,
Kim
EDIT: Whoops! That's not to say that "Villas y sus amigos" aren't often helpful too! 😄
