What does to thank someone on a forum mean?

    Hi all,

    Little bit confused, and mods please move this where you see fit (or please answer).

    What does it mean when someone 'thanks' you on one of your posts? You know - underneath - and you can see the list of people who have 'thanked' you in your profile. Is that because they agree with you?

    Sorry if this is a really stupid question - i'm just confused and sure we can delete this thread as soon as I find out!!

    Thanks! (no pun intended)

    Gnerally speaking it shows that you agree with someone. It's handy as there is no need to fill up a thread with needless amounts of +1, FTW, Yep, I agree etc etc.

    Ah no - it's nice!

    Most of the time it's someone that agrees with what you have said or thanking you for some great advice.

    Sometimes it's someone being sarcastic and giving you a 'thanks' when they really mean 'Oh, sure, thanks for that very insightful contribution, loser!' Generally, these people will quote you later with some sort of (perhaps) witty riposte that attempts to undermine what you said. That's how you know they didn't really mean to thank you.

    Paranoia ftw! :D

    and people who are effective users of their energy.

    Give someone else an opportunity to post your opinion for you, and then all you have to is agree.

    It can also means I laughed so hard there a little pee came out.

    But ultimately you'll end up becoming a "thanks whore" who just posts controversial and witty posts to up your thanks count :D

    /DO NOT thank this post right!! :pac:/


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,193 ✭✭✭Turd Ferguson


    The thanks is a lie. I've never been thanked ever :(

    Damnit, I was fooled. I thought it was a genuine query but it's descended into a bloody thanks fest.

    This should be locked.

    Thats because theyve all licked other asses too. Its not like youve been gettin virgins


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Getting thanks is simple .Example

    Somebody starts thread about disliking red heads or some football team

    You reply with how much you like red heads and that football team

    Result ? = thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks ( all red head people who like that football team )



    It's just some are like junkies and addicted to the thanks count .


    Oh Hello , another thread about thanks :)

    Yeah true! Actually, I've been a member since 2007. In that time I've seen nice people go bad, down the road of filth, whoring themselves out to whoever makes then laugh or impresses them. Disgraceful stuff. Look at the photography forum!! By 2010, it'll be the porn forum. No morals.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 242 ✭✭Tannylan


    a conversational expression of gratitude :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,897 ✭✭✭Kimia


    Wow what have I started?

    I was being serious!!!! :pac::pac::pac::pac:
