So have you ever read a post you liked, gone to thank it, and...

Herbal Deity

...realised it was written by a poster you really don't like, and not thanked it as a result?

It's happened to me once or twice.

So, are you a thanks snob? Will you only thank certain individuals? Or do you judge all posts independently on their individual merits?

I was going to thank this post, but then I saw...

Blush_01

Someone thinks way too much about thanks...

mle1324

Yep,its happened to me a few times since i joined here.:pac:

My name is URL

Not really. I'd thank a post on the merits of the post itself, not who posted it

GLaDOS

I don't have posters I don't like, that's just sad...

spinandscribble

sometimes i have done this, only because later on in the thread i would notice them suddenly getting abrasive and lose support of their original post. So i've gone back and removed thanks as a result.

I can't be bothered looking at the posters name. The only poster I could name offhand is the legendary Feeky McGee

Your forgetting the infamous SlasherMcGurk.

The After Hours section must be full of some of the most
self absorbant people on the planet!!!!

Every 2nd thread now is about thanks and thanks.

Who gives a flying fook whether somebody thanks your post or not,
an opinion should be honest and not influenced by the need for thanks.
Im beginning to think AH is a web of lies and deceit and is built on
the falsification of the truth just to get some thanks!!!!!!!!

Ok maybe that was a bit OTT but you get my drift

I get your drift, but it's ok, the posters here are so self absorbant we can just soak ourselves and our neediness up. End result? No mess. It's like a Bounty (or Plenty) ad, but the men look better in their dresses.

Can you provide links to these threads as I must have missed them as the only one that I can think of is this one.

I couldn't care less about getting 'thanks'.

Ignore the sig

Pushtrak

Nope, I'd give thanks to the post that deserves it. And facepalm at the ones they come out with that make me wish there was a dislike button.

Mint Sauce

yeah, i totally judge people by their username

:rolleyes:

dylano_k

I had one thismorning and then wiped it straight off....wait did you say thanks or.... ?

xw2lj9uspm1eyh

I thanked your post couldn't live with myself if someone thought i was a thanks snob .

Mossy Monk

No. That is quite sad.

Sparky

Yeah.... if I dont like them I press the 'Remove all thanks' button.

OutlawPete

18 posts and yet only three 'thanks' in the thread so far.

Think if you scared people away from the 'thanks' button OP.

Edit: Five now

Edit II: Ten now

Edit III: Twenty Two now.

It's human nature; it is hard to credit somebody that you are not really fond of.
And, usually when you do, it is faint praise

Really? I don't think it's sad. Just like in real life there's certain posters get on my t1ts!
I would still thank them if I thought their post deserved it, just like I would laugh at someones joke in real life even if I didn't like them.

I'm more of a 'thanks slut' than a whore

Especially if I start a thread, anyone who responds by answering the question I pose or task I set - I will inevitably 'thank' ..

I thank them anyway. If the post is good, it's good....and so it gets a Thanks.

Yeah, but he's talking about 'After Hours' - whereas this is 'Lonely Hearts' ..

smiley girl

I thank the poster for his/her post regardless of whether I like the person or not. Well I don't not like any poster here TBH! Sometimes I think I might overuse the thanks button!!

Senna

I'll thank any post i like regardless of poster, but there is only one poster on here i really dislike.....you know who you are.

marko91

i notice how some of the main posters you see daily get tons of thanks for something a bit funny...when a poster i never seen before gets like 2 thanks for somethng way funnier


wont mention no usernames:P

Ah yes, I had forgotten how much more absorbant After Hours posters are. We'll have to wait until tomorrow to check the absorbency of the posters in the <insert name here> forum.

It's genuinely a thrill a minute in this place. :rolleyes:

Doesn't this thread belong in Conspiacy Theories?

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?forumid=576

This must be why I get so few thanks, people are conspiring against me...

I see what you did there.

I laughed, which would usually mean a thanks from me, but then I realised I'd be playing right into your hands. No siree Bob!
