...do I understand correctly that a poster gets ranked via a "Thanks" and/or "Groan" count received ? Is there anyway to count the "Thanks" and "Groans" handed out by a posters ? Perpetual complainers will get a reputation as such this way.

The Thanks Yous/Groans
received would be the most relevant info but there is no actual ranking system. The number of Thanks Yous and Groans given to your posts would be visible under your name and the readers could interpret the results themselves.
The forum software does have a nice reputation system built-in but, like with the Groans, I have always thought it might set too judgemental a tone for our mostly friendly forum.
The number of Thank Yous, given and received, are available in each user's profile under statistics. I also have the option of displaying them under your name in each post. I turned that on for testing but it seemed like it just cluttered up the display. Maybe after a lot of Thank Yous have been posted that field would have more meaning.
The Thank You feature is brand new here and I'm trying it out along with several other plug-ins. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks for the comments.
