Auto-thank giveaways entered

But if this were used then the users wouldn't have to actually do something to thank the giver and the "Thanks" wouldn't feel the same...

Not an evil idea. Optional would be nice.

I would use it for public ones ;)

Is this a joke? I seriously can't tell.

I always type my thank you's. Makes it a little more personal. Not to mention, original.

Once everyone automatically says thanks, no one says thanks.

If you know what I mean.

I prefer to type mine out, so no thank you.

No.

Nothanks

No Thanks cos If youre too lazy to type thanks for a giveaway then an Auto thank you means nothing at all .

ppl are so fcuking lazy to write some fcuking words

Why do people even bother coming up with that shiznit? ...

So, maybe let the site automatically enter desired giveaways for us? And automatically send us a text message to our %PHONE_NUMBER% if we had won?

Seriously, making more and more features automatically work for us is... some kind of laziness. Don't take my post as a 'hater troll' message, that's just my own opinion, you can agree or not. To be clear, I mean not only your idea of auto-thanks, but all such suggestions. Regards

And thus making thank you comments even more pointless and less feeling.

D:

I love satirical writings :D

Thanks ET3D for the forum post, but it is utter shite and a horrible idea.

The idea may be not as silly as it seems. Suppose such automatic thank-you messages do get implemented (say, in public giveaways): the next logical step would be to introduce a filter that would allow the giveaway creator to hide all those automatic messages and actually see the occasional meaningful comment. Which do get lost sometimes.

No. "Thank" words will lose its purpose - thanking the creator of the giveaway. Write "ty", "thanks", "tanks", "thank you!", it takes some seconds, but it's better than a heartless button.

1) Been suggest OVER AND OVER

2) Also AWWW FAKE THANKS? HOW SWEETTTTTT <333

EDIT: Nvm saw what you did there. Thanks for Skyrim.

I have a feeling that this post is sarcastic. D:
But anyway, maybe have two 'tabs' of comments (add to the comments/entries/stats section), one for the simple 'ty's' and one for 'real comments' and you can choose which one to post in through a checkbox or something? This way the creator can quickly isolate the interesting comments by going to the discussion tab.
... Or just keep it like it is and not suggest more features to code. XD

Lazy people, Church of England on you!
A modest proposal - how about we add "like" button to all "thanks" posts?

Why to thank when the chances that you'll get that are like 1/400? I seriously wondered when I saw people on my giveaways thanking , do they really think they gonna win, I mean one guy wins, others just say thanks.

why not completely disable the possibility to comment on giveaways? problem solved.

This thread again?

That an horribly shitty idea, and I hope you're not being serious about this.

I've said this before in about a thousand similar threads, but I'll keep saying it in the hope that at some point it'll even sink in with the thickest of skulls. Saying thanks is an expression of gratitude. That's what saying thanks means. It's a small and (according to some) insignificant gesture, but it's still something you choose to do to thank the person giving away free shit. If you automate this, it loses all meaning. At that point you might as well stop saying thanks alltogether. It's not about who can gather the most thank-yous in one giveaways or about who says thank-you more than everyone else, it's about expressing the fact that you're grateful for the chance to win free shit.

If people say thank you for any other reason, be it because it's automated, because it's mandatory, or because they'll get blacklisted if they don't, it stops being an expression of gratitude and becomes utterly fucking meaningless. I'd take a dozen copypasted thank-yous over a thousand automated thank-yous any day, because it means the user chose to thank me out of their own will, and thus is displaying at least some measure of sincerity in their gratitude, whereas an automated message shows zero sincerity because there's no choice involved.
