There is pun_karma:

So at least it is possible.

What's up with a simple "Thank you" in the thread?

You introduce something like that and a big part of the Crunch-community disappears. I can't find the words to properly explain but something is wrong when thanking someone turns into a matter of clicking on a button; we're anonymous enough.

Like omns, I disagree with the post count, but, I suspect, for different reasons:

for me, there are too many numbers in life, we don't need more.

omns is probably embarrassed about having such a high number!!!!   

The way I see it: karma/reputation reflects quality and post count reflects quantity. Though admittingly a karma system can be abused

Another vote for a 'thank you' in the thread, more personal and only take a few seconds.

Slightly off topic ... my kids have their birthdays coming up & I still insist they write thank you notes and not send a thank you email! Am I a dinosaur??!!

I don't think people really weigh in post count when evaluating advice offered. More likely a username will register through repetition - repetitively providing quality advice. I reckon an avatar helps with this process too - I seem to be the first person posting here without one.

Note also that the only poster to ever ever get banned here made a big thing about post count ("... Spartans").

@richs-lxh: shame you chose the number 20 - there is currently a 'new user' with approximately that post count - from Germany I think - offering some great advice.

And then we have 'anonymous': over four thousand posts - a very low percentage of them lame platitudes in the introductions section or joking about in the off-topic threads - nearly always offering quality, well-written, polite posts.

@1002richards: absolutely! letters, no emails!

Awww, thank you for the comment Toolz.
