inb4 "Thanks!"

Astonishing theory, professor!

You are bound to get those kind of comments on a public giveaway..... sorry.

Also, thank you for that puzzle, i'll have a look at it once i fill my belly with pasta.

So, pick A or B. Which is better?

A) A giveaway with 1000 entries and 0 total comments.

B) A giveaway with 1000 entries and 1000 post of just "thank you"s (including "thx" "tx" "thanks" etc)

thanks

lol yeah i guess this is true but meh, what can you do about it? at least they are showing their appreciation instead of just entering and not leaving a comment

Would you rather not see any thanks though? Just curious on your opinion of a wall filled with thanks vs an empty wall.

So we meet again topic. Is it already your time of the week?

A lot more people said something else than a "copypasted "Thanks"" in your giveaway. Stop complaining. No one is going to come up with something to say on every single giveaway they enter. If you want something else than "thanks" in the comments, than ask a question or something.

+1

I find it laughable that your complaining about this yet you have 380 entries and only 119 comments, some of which are probably on the forums. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black

Seeing how you won a giveaway of mine, I got curious. Nope, no thank you from Banjo2E on mine! Nor have you even played it, but I digress

The way I see it, saying "Thanks" is more a courtesy than anything else. Sure, people are grateful for your generosity, but whatever they say in the way of thanking you has the exact same meaning. We are always thankful, but faking a deep, unimaginable gratitude reeks of artificial praise. Saying "Thanks" is a nice, genuine way of expressing gratitude, which is why you see so much of it. Personally I am a little annoyed by the people who pretend seeing a gift is the greatest thing that's ever happened to them, but maybe that's just me being cynical.

I rather have a copy-pasted "Thanks" than having nothing at all. To many people enter giveaways and don't say a thing, that bothers me but oh well it's how it is and we have to live with it I guess.

Its not that big a deal to me, I say thanks sometimes or something else, honestly depends on my mood or if I even have anything of interest to say, its fine, its rude to say nothing at all imo.

Basically if I can't think of anything its thanks or something like thanks for the chance, etc...you know? Oh well its an opinion after all.

There are quite a few threads on this subject. You'll find both people defending Thanks (even if a simple thanks or more elaborate one) and people defending not commenting at all. This has been discussed so many times.
That thank you button is even worse...

I say thnx just to be appreciative, but if you want people to say something other than that at least in the Description start a conversation if you want something other than thank you.

thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks

there are groups/people in SG which really hate it when people are too lazy to write a "thank you" comment. Actually do you have any alternative ideas about what someone should say for gifts from people they dont know?

So what disgusts you is the repetitive zillions of "thanks" But then again lots of people do the same things all the time you just don't see them all doing that "for instance you wash your face when u get up, say hi when u see someone etc.." that doesn't mean you should change standard actions/responds to certain things..

But what are you suggesting? Are you saying no one should comment on anyone's giveaway unless they got something more to say than just "Thanks!" or that only your giveaways shouldn't be commented? I mean, what is your point? Should there be a rule about it or should comments be limited to a minimum of 10 letters or... what?

It bothers me if you actually want to disallow people from thanking with only a few letters/words on giveaways. I'm pretty sure there are a plenty of people who wants to see at least something, whether it was a simple "Thanks!". I guess your best bet would be to find something good about those sole words and stop thinking them as a negative thing, or at least be neutral about it. You are only hurting yourself.

I wrote "Thanks" on it just to spite you.

From now on everyone is just going to say "Thanks" on your giveaways or nothing at all. I hope you enjoy it.

I have contributed in the best way I know how.

So what, only the first some odd people should be allowed to express their thanks for somebody giving them something for free because apparently gratitude and good manners get redundant?

Deal with it, thanks.

The best I could really do would be some quasi-creative comment on you calling yourself a good pony, if I were to enter your giveaway and give thanks. Failing that, I'd have to perform a very deep and thorough background check, followed by "Thank you, [name] of [state] at [address!] I also enjoy [all your hobbies], [some porn from your history], and [sexual position involving your favorite food]. I will call you at [phone number] and tell your [mother/roommate/pet] all about your generosity for [game title] being given away."

But seriously, you can only say thanks so many different ways. Lighten up! People are thanking you!
