The site worked just fine before the hover feature was removed... but OK, I understand. Even though I think there are several other features less useful than the hover feature, that could have been removed instead. For example, the subforums "your local love forum" and "love quotes" - basically nobody uses them. And we could merge "Love stories" and "Love poems" into one sub-forum.
What is "thanks spam"? I think we all agree that we like being able to thank who we want, how many times we want, whenever we want. So I don't really get why it needs to be limited.
OK for the editing thing. What about the deleting option? I'm sure that wouldn't hurt anyone.
