[Suggestion] A "Thank You" or a "Like" Button for giveaways.

I think it's a matter of upbringing. My parents taught me as a little child to say "thank you" if I got a gift.

Winning a game in a giveaway and express your gratitude = shows social competence and politeness.

Commenting "thank you blabla" when participating in a giveaway = you're using an autojoin script with high probability and are incompetent in using it which is demonstrated by not turning off the tell-tale thank you spam.

Of course there are genuine comments on giveaways too but those are spotted easily as they deal with a distinct topic normally.

Besides the 8 year old suggestion about the same thing, it gave, at least, 1 more time the same suggestion/wish.
Cg not done something in all the years, this should show that it don't have a prioriety for him.

That auto thanks messages are allowed is, from my point of view, actively supporting autojoining because the mods lose one possibility of evidence(s) for autojoining.
This shows too that it isn't of interest for cg to limit the spam messages and that nothing will happen.

The thanks spam are counted as activity and activity let cg earn money.
Easy and sad as that.

And because only the few comments from real users would change to the button clicking, the autojoiners with activated thanks script would still spam the comments, the change would nearly have no effect.
Besides the fact that the most people would like to get comments from real users and don't want the comments from the autojoiners with activated thanks scripts.
So it tries to solve the problem at the wrong end.

Well apparently I voted 'no' on that poll 8 years ago so I'm gonna have to oppose this motion yet again for the sake of consistency. After all, who am I to contradict my past self on his judgement...

Ok, I'll admit, that was a bad attempt at a joke. But in all seriousness I still think adding a "thank you" button would be counterproductive, let me try to explain my point:
If an option to thank someone that only requires a single click is introduced it could be perceived by many as a sort of mandatory thing, after all it would only require a minimal amount of effort on the part of the user entering the giveaway, which could lead to what essentially would be a highly automated system that actually benefits those using scripts and not those trying to genuinely thank the giveaway creator. It could even result on some sort of inverted perception by some where if you click the "thanks" button they'll assume that entry to be a bot, or some other equally weird social dynamic developing over time.
Also, at that point why bother, of course I'm gonna be thankful to the person creating a giveaway that I consider good enough to enter, it's kind of implicit, isn't it? Might as well replace it with a "like" or "thumbs up" button if the whole idea is to send a message to the creator that you wanna see more of that.
And finally, the fact that this requires CG to implement a new thing that keeps track of the info and adds to the overall size of the data stored per GA gives me the impression that they won't bother doing it. I've always been under the impression that CG tries to minimize the size that SG occupies on the server rather than increase it.

Use bot to post actual spam: we don't have enough evidence. Must be normal user behavior.

SG mods in nutshell.

Basically - give up. CG doesn't care.
