I thank posts because..

Mostly, I thank posts so that when I'm bored, it's like having my own "best of boards" section to flick back through..
It's my way of tagging them.



I would love a "completely disagree" button under posts aswell as a "thanks" button tho :P




So why do ya thank posts? and do you like being thanked?

Toots

There's some thanks for ya!! I agree with the 'disagree' option too, sorta a thumbs up and thumbs down type system.

aoibhebree

I thank posts if they state my exact opinions on what's being discussed, thus saving me the effort of typing anything.

And I LOVE being thanked

Genghiz Cohen

I thanks posts when i completly agree with that the poster has to say, or if the post makes me laugh, actually laugh, not just smile.

It's nice when someone thanks your posts because you feel yous said something that relates the the thanker in some way.

Latchy

Tis nice to be thanked and means your doing / saying something right

I thank people for different reasons ,some as above but also funny quotes are deserving to .

Toots

My favourite posts to thank are ones that actually make me LOL. Ah there's been a few in AH this week Like being thanked, I suppose everyone likes it when someone agrees with them.

Flipz4Rollz

If I see a really witty remark or what they are saying is spot on.

LorraineL

I thank people who are able to put across what i want to say better than i could myself. Find myself doing it a lot lately. :rolleyes:

+1 or if I think something is really funny

Cianos

I have no friends. I thank people hoping that they will remember me, and want to be my friend.

Dudess

I thank people who insult people I don't like.

thelordofcheese

I do it when i see something that looks like it wasn't written by window-licking cretin.

I don't thank a lot of posts

Which explains why many ( but not all ) boards people have more thanked posts than others .

When they don't have the words Ads by Google just to the left of them.

Ironbars

I thank people because Im new and want to be liked

Gordon

I call it my lazybutton. It's to thank for mirth gained, point out the fact that I have acted on something, to give thanks to users that have pointed out spammers etc, and as a +1 'I agree' quickbutton. A multifaceted thumb it is.

Me too.

There are lots of different reasons to thank posts. Very handy when you're too busy to post yourself and someone sums up your opinion for you too.

Wagon

I thank them if I'm sexually attracted to their avatar. So basically, I thank Dudess and Turd Ferguson.

stovelid

I don't fancy your avatar, btw.

Danbo!

A) I actually 'lol' because I hate replying and typing 'lol'
I agree with a point the poster is making
C) And works great in the photogrpahy forum and cuts out 40 posts of 'Great Pic' and 'Nice Shot' etc..

That's kind of a Yes or No question, isn't it?

Dudess

Not necessarily.

stovelid

And I certainly don't fancy your avatar.

Quazzie

Does anyone else feel ghey when they look back over their thanked posts and realise yhat you and a certain other poster always seem to thanks each other?

eVeNtInE

This post has been deleted.

Tar.Aldarion

If it is funny, insulting or randomly to confuse people.

Not at all. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

That's right javaboy - we're getting married some day!

Borneo Fnctn

I'm a selfish arsehole who has no regard for other people's opinions but I love getting thanked. Strange eh?

Kirnsy

personally i hate being thanked on the IN-TER-NEt.

its not personal enough. like if you are seriously going to thank me, one should PM me, get my phone number off me, ring me up and explain exactly why you thanked me.

im not paranoid i swear its just i cant stand being thanked in posts. it makes me nervous.

so basically DONT thank this post cos it upsets me loads.






i hate thanks-whores who say things just to get thanked.:rolleyes:

I've just thanked your post. I'm going to let it stay there for a few tantalizing moments and then remove it.

I'm in negative equity too but 'tis better to give than to receive. Right?

Used to be very stingy with the aul Thanks button when it first appeared, reserving it for only the finest of fine posts but then I began to found new uses for it and I'll thank any old muck these days.

Me too, but it is handy for just saying cheers or agreeing with someone.

I sometimes thank post from noobs (postcount <50) just to make them feel welcome.

Abi

I'd thank people a lot more if I wasnt using mboards most of the time. I have no thanks button and cant see if I have been either. When I get a mo on the pc I try to find threads I liked and thank posts I agreed with or lol'd at.The last time I saw my thanks it was mostly for stuff I posted while 3 sheets to the wind and forgot about. daft cow tbh

I only thank posts if they make me laugh or that I agree with.

Right ! That's the thing . I use to thank any ol muck to .But now I will only use my thanks if I feel it's valued .

I have noticed one ( unamed) poster who only has to sneeze in a post and the thanks come flooding in .

Such adoration ........jesus would be proud of
