    I never thank or check to see if any one thanked me. I couldn't give a fat baby's dick about who thanks me.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    These threads are great because there's always one person who thinks it's either hilarious or ironic to thank every post

    I want to thank you for that but I'm not going to in protest.

    Thank it and then remove it. That'll teach him.

    On the note of furious thanking, did Jumpguys month of 'no thanks' teach him self control when it came to thanks?

    People have such short memories.

    Also, people whose posts give out about posts being thanked or say that someone is 'thanks whoring' are moronic. I've posted in the same retarded style long before 'Thanks' were brought in.

    It really ought to be against the rules really as it's the most typical way of derailing threads in AH currently and it adds nothing.

    Or maybe there should just be a stickied 'Whinge about thanks and posts counts or getting picked last at games when you were in school' thread.

    Thanks for listening.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,756 ✭✭✭InkSlinger67

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,234 ✭✭✭thetonynator


    what annoys me sometimes is people who post something pointless like +1 OR I AGREE OR :d after other peoples posts instead of just clicking thanks.

    bit like this post really!!!

    rant over ;)

    The only people who give out about 'thanks' are people who aren't funny. I'm not funny but I don't bitch about it, jeeeez.

    It would go back to how it was for the 8 years before the thanks option was installed.

    I reckon it would be much better. There would be more insightful posts with an actual point to make instead of a crowd of eejits thinking they're smart or funny with nonsensical comments.

    AH really has become a sham since the thanks thingy came in last year.

    You'll get no thanks for saying that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,082 ✭✭✭Pygmalion


    I wouldn't offer my hilarious insights (which of course are limited to the first few posts in any thread because they get the most Thanks)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    There would be reams and reams of "+1", :D, "brilliant!", "LMAO", "ROFL", "PMSL" etc to plough through - er, bring that back!

    I think instances of "thanks-whoring" are greatly exaggerated... I'm willing to bet people would post the exact same types of responses it's assumed are attempts to "thanks-whore" if there was no thanks button.

    WTF is this obsession with NO Thanks with some posters on here.

    Anyway,

    Feedback has seen a lot of threads regarding the Thanks button.

    It has it's positives too you know.

    Lets say,you post something in reply to a thread and I agree with you because I was going to reply with something similar.

    It's quicker and cleaner for the thread to just thank the post I agree with.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Not sure why people care so much about thanks. Just ignore if you hate it.

    Optional task; opt out.

    If thanking was removed, I hope think you would still have the same lame puns and jokes*

    Thanks is a great way for lazy people to spread love. You can agree, thank or just laugh at jokes with a single click. Often in cases where you couldn't be arsed detailing such responses and may be tempted to opt for a dreaded +1.
