Tracking global number of thanks

[a completely inoffensive name]

Since the thanks feature was implemented a while back now, I was curious on a number of questions:

1. Who has the most thanks as an individual?
2. How many total thanks have been given out?

We do not track those stats, sorry.

That is a bit incorrect. The individual totals can be seen on the profile.
However, there is no spread sheet of who has the most and the like.

The individual totals are displayed, but not the stats the OP requested. A person could deduce the results from those if they manually checked the stats on all 26,439 member accounts, but such work is probably so time consuming that the result would be out of date before it was even calculated. The requested stats could probably be pulled with a direct SQL query, so if you'd like that done you should bug the TAs relentlessly until they give you what you want. :devil:

@Gelatinous Cube (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/member.php?u=11935) is our top thanker by a country mile, giving out 1817 thanks. That's more than twice his nearest rival.

LOL. I knew GC​ was the biggest thanker. He is such a slut with those.

[Major Robert Dump]

This makes my head hurt.

I don't want to add on to the above statement because I have already expressed my approval with a thanks.

[Rhyfelwyr]

I'm pretty sure 75-80% of my thanks come from Gelatinous Cube.

Hah. Is the glass half full or half empty?

If the optimist says the glass is half full, and the pessimist says the glass is half empty, the physicist ducks (http://what-if.xkcd.com/6/)
