I think the "Post added" function needs to be removed. What if someone says something in their first post that I am thankful for, so I thank it, but then, due to the "Post added" function, they say something that I abhor, so I don't want to thank it? In other words, imagine this scenario:
1. User X says "I love User Y."
2. User Y thanks User X's post.
3. Before another user posts, User X posts again in the thread, so, instead of two posts appearing, his two posts are combined due to the "Post added" function. In this added post, User X says "Fuck User Y. I hate User Y."
If User Y knew that User X was going to get that added to his original post, User X would not have given thanks.
The only useful purpose for this function is the result of moderator or administrator laziness. This function makes it easier for people with moderation powers to simply delete one spammer's combined posts instead of multiple posts by the spammer. I don't think catering to the lethargy of moderators or administrators is acceptable.
