Way too much thanking going on in Feedback

MooseJam

Whats with all the thanking going on in feedback, every second thread is awash with the stuff. Personally I thank someone if they have done something for me, like answered a question or given me a cool link, I don't thank people for there opinions ,

you should use it a bit more sparingly so it actually means something, a thanks is pretty meaningless in feedback as every second post has thanks from everyone and their dog, I don't think it's supposed to be used as a +1,

... or to get a dig in at someone.

Yea I noticed this and it actually can be a bit distracting. I rarely thank but I would make an exception for a long informative post like the ones a couple of guys in politics were doing during the treaty debate.

I for one welcome our circle jerk overlords

AARRRGH

I dunno, I've never noticed it...

They'll all be sorry when they go blind... or it falls off. Bunch of thankers.

It's because feedback is one of the best if not the best forum on boards. Thanking someone allows you to be involved with the discussion when perhaps you only had one or two words to say. Why clutter up the thread.

Feedback is a more relaxed place than alot of the other forums. Emotions run high and everyone has an opinion. It's a very active place so I'm not surprised there is so much thanking going on here.

stfu tbh

just another pointless, whiney complaint. Honest to god, does it really affect your experience in such a drastic measure? didn't think so.

Dudess

My thanking button seems to be out of order a lot lately - and before I run out of my quota.

Don't worry everybody, you can test if your thanking ability still works in this post.

I call BS on this thread as a crafty way of getting ironic thanks for the OP. It worked too.

It's what he would have wanted.

I thank those who make a point that i happen to agree with.

I think there should be a thumbs down button though.

Thumbs Up, thumbs down, isn't that in essence the failed karma system?

Overheal

Oooohhhh there was no need for that.

Overheal

I categorically disagree with that rebuttal.

You should be in the Moderators bunker, so much licking of arse, several will be coming down worth something unmentionable soon.

I think it's 10 per day...ironically, it's to reduce the kind of 'thanks' spamming the OP is complaining about.

OP, sometimes, when a post has already said everything you would have said on a topic, it's easier and better to thank that post than to reply with a quote and "I agree" or "+1". Simple really. Other times you recognise the value of someone's well worded post and thank them but you still have more to add so post again later as well as thanking. What's the problem with that?

can you save them up and then go on a thanking spree??

And *ahem* +1 on all of the above,i use thanks to show gratitude were theres nothing else to be added,but you think a poster did a good job at explaining/pwning.

I love the 'remove all' thanks option

Sherifu

Poor MooseJam, so many hardships.

JIZZLORD

Dear christ, what's with all the whining in feedback all of a sudden.

Sparky

Some people are so deadly and cool that they dont need a thanks button.

Jules

My god stfu and gtfo ya bunch of whiney bitches. I prefere to thank someone instead of posting up the +1 if i agree with them. Now your either a thankswhore, wanting more people to thank you or you are a postcountwhore, cuz you want the +1 post brought back to increase your post count. Either way, cop the fuck on to yourself, get up turn off your computer and stop wasting my valuable time.

What sort of freak doesn't have a thanks button :pac:

The thanks button is also a last resort way of acknowledging a reply or point in a locked thread (which FB is not short of lately).

Latchy

Recieving and giving thanks is also a welcoming and friendly gesture, and doesn't need analyzing.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

It's the inconsistancy that gets me... you put up what you tihkn is a reaLLt useful post, and no one presses thanks... even thought the say thanks in a fresh post... then you post up a piece of rubbish without thinking and three or four people jump on the thanks button....!!

Boards users have different opinions about what's useful...:pac:

I like that philosophy. Free love thanks.

The OP is clearly a square trying to put us in a box of oppression. You can't cage this bird Wallstreet!

As a result of the preponderance of thanking in this thread, I would like to issue a full and frank F**K YOU ALL TO HELL.

Thanks whoring will result in your thanking privileges being removed.

Starting a thanks thread, positive or negative, is thanks whoring.

Thanks.
