Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Fair dos, I guess I just can't think of many situations I would use it. Whenever I have thanked anyone on the forum it is because they have done me a specific favour or given me advice on a specific problem etc. which is more personal than finding something funny and giving a LOL. But not wanting to tie up this thread much further, we can differ in opinion on this, not a prob.

Football is rubbish.
I'm amazed (seriously) at the amount of discussion that this has generated. And the level of analysis. Sometimes I feel like I'm part of a sociology field study. Perhaps we are ...
When we built theFB, the "FacePalm" option was really intended to be a bit of light relief, to signify someone saying something a little daft, but nowhere near the DBAD "flagging" level of daftness. Yes, I said "D".
The other votes are all positives, so facepalm was to give a bit of balance, sort of like a "-1", I guess - which is how it adds into the fret scores. Perhaps we should just title it as "-1" and not try to be clever with descriptions. I think that was one of the suggestions made above.
We're still in early days of the forum, and after the initial bits of fun with the FacePalm option, I'd expect it to settle down and it to be used "sensibly" (ie no "how many facepalms can I collect" or "who did me, I demand to know" type posts).
My personal view is that I still think that we should have some sort of negative option for balance, largely because I think that pretty much everyone here is basically sensible and want theFB to work as a community and so it will be applied (and interpreted) sensibly.
And because I grew up in the days of Life on Mars when "things" were generally very different.
Not necessarily better, just different
I think we should leave it alone for a bit longer and see if usage settles down. There are probably more important (and positive!) things that we should be exercising our minds about if we want this place to continue to grow and develop as it has done in the first week.
