Thanking funny comments is an odd one. It isn't strictly "useful" and waters down the 'technical' rep.

I guess it moves the focus to being a community member rather than technical expert.

I'd like to see a way to represent both somehow.

Oh heck! Don't let's start this one again! No rep system is perfect and we have debated this endlessly on here before... always ending up coming to the conclusion that no system is perfect. Some people care more about "blobs" and badges than others. :D

I was gonna give you rep for that but couldn't find the button on the iOS app!

@vikpaw does make a good point in terms of representing both, though, to be fair. If you've got a Tech Thanks button for your Tech Rep, and a Community Thanks (or whatever) button for your Comm Rep, then at least everyone knows whether it's because you've got a lot of useful tech experience or whether you contribute a lot to the community (which includes being funny). And obviously if you find someone with lots of both, they become a Godlike figure and are duly worshipped every day until they eventually transcend this mortal plane.

 

Some might say it's a silly system but I'd argue it's practical enough, while also showing we're a mature community that knows how to poke some light fun at itself :)
