Hope a god of randomness will choose me...
Anyway thank you for chance.

Thanks for pointing this out but that does not change the point that it might be a useful idea to think about changing it. Esp cause it can be automated to easily... I still like the idea of a "thanks" button separate from the join button. "thx"+submit takes roughly the same time as clicking an extra button...

There is one, I'd link it to you, but userscripts.org seems to be down atm.

Well private or public giveaway you cans till ask people to say something other then thank you. BUT only with private ones can you say "if you say thanks and you win, I will reroll" and even then I think you have to get the OK from the mods first.
Thank you :)

Thanks for Skyrim!

"I appreciate your action of giving away an expensive game software to an aleatory person that you do not have absolutely no contact with the same before. I hope someday I'll receive something from a person with a status like yours. There should be more people like you on this land of wild people."
This is how I say the thing you mean by "Thank you".

If I were, I'd add a comma, like so: "Thank you, SPAM!" (Yup, I'd all-caps it too, because that's the official spelling.) ;)

I will continue to thank people because I appreciate their contributions. I think the idea of using an "automated" process to thank people is ridiculous because the entire point is to make a personal connection with the giver. This is how I was raised, and this is part of my belief system. While I don't require other people to think the same way, I would resist any attempt to prevent me from exercising those beliefs.

I'm not usually a rude person but... Fuck you.
Basically, what you're saying is that when a random user buys a game, with his OWN money, and gives it away to a COMPLETELY random user, without asking for ANYTHING in return, we shouldn't, and even worst, it would be AGAINST the rules to say thanks? SERIOUSLY?
This disgusts me.

Thank you! For your honesty, at least.
I didn't intend "advised against it" as "being against the rules". "Please don't spam giveaway threads with simple "Thank you" posts" would be the general idea. So, feel free, but better don't.

Way to twist a suggestion that people should post actual comments of appreciation rather than impersonal spam that is mostly generated by bots, and make it sound like some evil agenda.

Yes, I agree. Because no one should be required to say thanks, we should ban all comments on every giveaway period. No one should ever say anything on Steamgifts again! It offends me and other antisocialites and therefore should be completely banned. If you disagree then you are wrong. That is all.

I think people should stop that and be advised to stop it.
Forums are not for "me too" posts (which Thank you spam is). It's just useless babble, taking up space, and time, and -- which for me is the kicker -- hides potentially useful posts.
Should gratitude be assumed?
"The Assumption of Gratitude". Hmm, good book or movie title. Or band name.
