all the best! |
I don't officially know why the "remove thanks" is part of the feature, but my best guess is that whomever created the "thanks" feature included the "remove" button in case someone hit the 'thanks' button by accident.
The "thanks" button is fairly close to the "reply with quote" button, so there are probably people who hit the wrong button by accident - and the 'remove' part of the feature was probably added so that if anyone hit the button by accident they can fix their mistake without a lot of hassle.
That's my best guess. We can remove our 'thanks' the same way we can edit our own posts when we make a typo
