Thank you buttons suck, rep is where it is at man. It shows how awesomesauce you are 'n stuff. And it measures you e-penis. And thank you is just... Lame.
When I think about it, how often will people use a "Thank you" button? Seems a bit useless and can only be used when people are either in need of help or if they were corrected. The only reason they would be 'better' would be because they add no permanent record to how 'helpful' you are and thus there would be no reason for people to spam it on eachother.
The Rep system on the other hand can be used in far more situations, examples include helpful posts, posts that make you laugh, posts which you agree with, posts with impressive artwork, posts with impressive fan fiction etc.
However, the only way that the system would be enjoyable to all is if everyone actually agrees to use it the way it was designed to be used - by actually adding rep to posts I mentioned above. I don't mean to say that you should go crazy adding rep to every post, but do it slightly more frequently than you did before. (I hardly saw anyone adding rep in the recent weeks before it was taken away)
This way it gives members a reason to post well - instead of being a grouch with no rep they could be a happy helpful member of the community.
