why do people bother

Tragamin2k2

blatantly trying to get "thanked" posts. before the thanking thing came in thered be the odd hillarious comment, but now EVERY post is a desperate attempt. especially the 2nd post in a thread.

any post containing the words "copperface jacks" gets 8000 thanks'.

and why do people write "Edit: blah blah blah" at the end of their posts when clearly they didnt edit it, because it would say underneath the post?

and why do people sign off posts, ive often seen posts with just 2 or 3 words and then the posters name underneath. who cares?

any more ridiculous things i notice ill add... but y'all think this stuff and im the only one saying it

get off the net you sensitive soul...

If you edit your post within a minute or two of posting it then the "edited by" thing doesn't come up. So stop being an idiot


And I guess the thanked thing is good....I give it to any posts that I either agree with or make me laugh

Shryke

I would think the thanking system would encourage a better quality of replies.

It only says it if you edit after a certain number of minutes have gone by.

Being a part-timer on here at best, I never noticed the Thanks feature.

I'm going to thank you for highlighting it.

samhail

I think if your the last post made in the thread then you can edit it without it being noted. cos you are able to delete your posts, so you could delete it and repost it with the same effect.

I like it.


There is an addon for vbulletin that will show on the left hand side under your name how many thanks you got. thats going a bit far though.

OP, how do you feel on people pointlessly multi-quoting?

Tragamin2k2

Right so the edit thing is cleared up.

Another one is the "+1" thing. Its not that much effort to type "yeah your right"
:mad:

Shameless attempt at "ironic" thanks tbh.

You've never heard of NINJA-EDIT? n00b :rolleyes:

Yes it's annoying. But I'm sure now that you've pointed it out, they'll sit back and think "Oh dear, I'm annoying people." and stop.

but y'all think this stuff and im the only one saying it

Wow! Aren't you the rebellious one? Let me guess: you just "tell it like it is", coz that's how you "roll"? Well I think I speak for everyone when I say BRAVO!!

I gave this post thanks because it has "copperface jacks" in it.

Thanks make me feel popular, i don't have any 'real' friends. It's either that or commit suiciwide.

i only thank yore ma tbh

Rabies

The thanks function is a milder form of the old rep system that ended up getting abused.
Its another way of saying I agree, or simply thanks.

Most people don't actively seek loads of recognition through the size of their e-penis.
For a while thanks was disabled in AH.

truecrippler

OP, I went to YORE MA's house and she gave me a ****.

Hint: Rhymes with "Thank".

Slidey

A Bank?

Sure they are worth nothin' these days... ten a penny, so they are

orestes

Nah, it was a tank, but he used it to rob a bank, then it all turned out to be a prank

Now I just feel like a plank

I use it for " I agree " or just plain old " Thanks ".

But why else would you use it?

Galvasean

If I see two i'll go mad.
