Thumbs Up Feature!

[mvmac]

I want to encourage new and experienced members of TST to continue or start using one of our best features, the Thumbs Up feature.  Since we have the wittiest and most knowledgeable golfers on the internet we run into numerous funny, helpful or insightful posts on a daily basis.  When you come across one, I would encourage you to give that poster a "thumbs up".  It's easy, you simply click the thumbs up logo found at the bottom right hand corner of a user's post.  You'll also be prompted to leave a comment to the poster, please do.  Your "thumbs up" and comment will be available for others to see and a count will be added to the right of the graphic.  This is how you hand out positive reputation and let the poster know you enjoyed their post.  Reputation is important for deciding the winner of our Rookie of the Month and Member of the Month for our Site Awards .

Below you'll see Zeph's reputation, represented by the display of golf balls sitting on  tees and  you'll see we've labeled the reputation "Skins."  Zeph have earned enough "skins" (positive reputation points) that he's got three teed balls as his graphic. The more teed balls, the more positive someone's reputation. You can hover your mouse over his reputation graphic to see a semi-clever phrase about his standing within the community.

Important Note: This feature helps identify quality posts, not just posts that you agree with .  To find out more about reputation click Here

Thanks Mike.

If you want to be a real superstar, try to find a well-argued post or a well-presented one that you disagree with and give it a Thumbs Up as well.

Also, try to leave a comment. It lets people know why you liked their post enough to give it the ol' thumbs up.
