Should we be able to 'THANK' our own posts??

py2006

Well hi,

There are some real 'thank whores' out there. I'm not one, but a few cheer me up. On the dailyfail site you can actually thank your own posts.

Should boards allow us to thank our own posts (only once). I mean, we have all made absolutely mind blowingly deadly comments and responses on here and we should be allowed to high five ourselves.... an affectionate slap on our own arses.

How many times have you posted something awesome and log in next day to see no thanks?'? It's like a slap in the chops. So we should have an option to get the ball rolling!!

Who's with me????

GLaDOS

No.

Ted_YNWA

Daft idea IMO, if you do not like your own post, then why do it in the first place ?

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

No, but thanks for thinking of me.

Stheno

No

Rothko

I don't see the point in it tbh.

You don't clap for yourself if you're getting a round of applause.

Ok thanks

You'd want to be an awful thanker to make use of such a feature.

A blonde calls up an airline. She asks, "How long are your flights from America to England?"

The woman on the other end of the phone says, "Just a minute."

The blonde says, "Thanks!" and hangs up the phone.

You'd join in a would of applause for youself?
Instead of holding one hand aloft,fingers on thumb like a Don!

kneemos

Similar to a begger throwing a few coins in the cap to encourage others.

I'm selling my thanks if anybody is interested?

Dirty Dingus McGee

I think it's a good idea.

It's basically like having a virtual ****.

Junkyard Tom

I like to laugh heartily at my own jokes so it would suit me perfectly.

mansize

Thanks arnt as good as ****

Winterlong

Get rid of the thanks and add a 'donate' button instead.

I think it's a great idea

Until such time as you can bring all your thanks down to Topaz and get a fill of petrol on the strength of it I think it's all a bit pointless.

And sad.

MRnotlob606

Thank this post please and god will give u eternal rest and 6 pack of koppaberg for putting a good effort inta lyfe.

Coopaloop

Oh you're that guy who likes his own Facebook posts aren't you...
You can't high five yourself either,it just looks like you're weirdly clapping above your head.
No matter how funny and witty you think you're being, your probably not.

How did you find out you could do that? :P

#Autofellatio

I don't agree with half the stuff I say, so why would I thank it?!

Illness/depression posts? Sometimes you need to vent and hate the fact you have to do it on a public site.

MRnotlob606

I hate when people like their own status on facebook. Its like giving yourself a high five saying "go me".

Speedwell

What difference does it make? Do you get more cookies at the end of the week or something? Does the person with the most thanks get elected Taoiseach? Do you get to be named the "Most Thanked Boardsie" with your own float in the St. Patrick's Day Parade? If that's all it takes to make someone happy... FFS.

Sometimes people in the Prison forum use the number of Thanks they get as a reason to be allowed off with whatever landed them in the prison forum in the first place. If you had a self-thanks feature, reckon you'd have to subtract the number of self-thanks from your final score?

Also, no. Plus, there'd be the accidental self-thanking when you scroll downwards on a phone and then the slagging.

You would be only able to thank your post once. And, indeed, have the option to unthank.

biko

Post on facebook instead.

You can like your own posts on facebook, sad but true

Speedwell

Hmm, I notice you have the ability to report your own posts. :eek:

i dont agree with thanking own posts but i do believe that double thanks status should be given as an option to father ted references

I disagree.

Down with that sort of thing.

How about those little emoticons to show how a post has made you feel?

(No, I'm not wanting those. They annoy me on Fb)

"Reactions". And they're not complete until they insert an "eye roll" or a "you're taking the p!ss" emoji.
