Riculoius?
Then people could write: "Please don't leave "thanks" as it will spam my message box" or something among those lines

Yeah, but sometimes people will still comment because they'll go out of their way to annoy you. That's why some people resort to blacklisting.

Nothing wrong if someone wants to blacklist people for not reading the description, but reporting them is indeed ridiculous

Agreed. The problem is wasting support's time w/ this petty nonsense

I'm doing exactly that.. asking politely to not leave generic/automatic 'Thanks' .. but I'm getting those tons of people that make a joke of my request and make it ungeneric but still fill my message box. I'm not defending this guy trying to make it a support issue.. but for me automatic 'empty' Thank yous are useless.

I'll give that guy in OP's picture benefit of doubt and assume it was a hyperbole.

Friendly advice, but I'd close the discussion. You can see the user and profile picture of the person and calling out is also against the rules.

If he wants to waste time reporting people for scripting, that's his problem. Nothing will become of it, just like nothing good can come from this thread.

" that's his problem"
I disagree, wasting support time w/ nonsense makes it a community problem.

Yeah, but instead of getting flooded w/ this kind of tickets, they surely would prefer to not get them.

I'm sure they'd love it, but an occasional forum rant won't really change that. There are a lot more users here than actually read the forums, let alone care about what people have to say. Their giveaways, their rules. If people are taking up too much of supports time, they'll let them know to tone it down.
It's stupid as hell obviously, if people really find it to be that much of a problem then they should just use the equally stupid blacklist and move on, but unfortunately people enjoy generating drama such as this very thread.

There's not really a way to prove that someone is using scripts though. I write some form of 'thank you' on most giveaways I enter, and I'm pretty sure I'm not a robot. Though now that I think about it....

What if somebody made you to be a robot that thought he was human?

I'm guessing the guy at least only reports suspicious people, e.g. saying the identical "Thank You!!! ;3" etc on 20 giveaways in a row, or several giveaways in unrealistically quick succession. If not, then what a bellend.

Yeah, I try to change up my thank you comments for that very reason haha

I would just blacklist the people if I would be not ok with thanksbots, bothering mods for this would be a useless waste of their time to me

you tried so hard but you forgot to block out the URL

Sounds like just a threat to discourage "thank you" jokes to me. I can't imagine people bothering to fill so many useless report tickets.

You have combined Potato and Yes. Now you, sir, are a genius :)
I agree that this shouldn't be something support has to deal with, makes you realise why support is so slow, they have to go through all this bull <.<

This is getting ridiculous.
(Yes, "Riculoius" is a totally a word and not a typo)
EDIT: I agree than having your mail box full of thanks can be annoying. People can write on the GAs that saying "thanks" will get them Blacklisted. What I disagree is w/ the wasting of support's time w/ this petty nonsense.
