Given the slow progress on "Bug 61737 - Thank notification on mobile doesn't ask for confirmation: accident-prone" and "Bug 69636 - Thanks: Implement an undo feature", please now provide an option to switch off the Thanks facility within Mobile. It makes editing just too stressful when I have to constantly beware that my right index finger is hovering near that large green "Thank" button, because I've just scrolled down using that finger, or because the "back" button on my phone is millimetres away. A lapse in concentration, a fat finger incident, and I've sent a confusing and misleading message to the editor whose change I've been looking at. And there's no going back: no confirmation stage, no reversal. I don't understand the logic: when I thank someone on desktop, having carefully clicked on a precise little link, I get asked to confirm (which is no bother, just another quick click), but this stage isn't considered necessary when I've touched a large button occupying a high proportion of my small touchscreen. So, until there's a better solution, please provide an option to switch off Thanks entirely on mobile.
Prioritization and scheduling of this bug is tracked on Trello card https://trello.com/c/3wykvR2X
I don't think this is justification for turning off the feature. The good far outweighs the few accidental taps I'm sure.
