Most of the comments are posted by bots and you think oh wow what a nice guy he said thanks.

@steamgifts.com maybe it's time for a captcha protection at the comment section?

SG already has an "angry Grandpa" posting angry "get off my lawn"-type comments -- it's ambidot. You need to find a new niche.

Or, possibly engage in hand-to-hand combat against ambidot. Because there can be only one.

I type in a very strict format tho. It’s always, quite frankly; Thanks!!:) Sometimes I change it up according to the situation but if you’re busy and rushing, and at work, or on mobile, or all of the above, I feel a thanks or thank you is good enough. Not everyone are bots and there are many who don’t reply as well.

The times have changed, things are different now than the SG V1 days where saying thanks was encouraged and a good comment/gibs entered ratio was seen as desirable (even required by some groups), and there were no notifications for giveaway comments. I doubt many people use scripts for commenting now and we also don't see stuff like this anymore:

I appreciate people sharing games here, even if I do not win. In case there is no description my tools to work with are limited, but I feel uneasy when I enter a giveaway without any response of gratitude.

Why would you believe that implementing a simple captcha would stop all bots?
Considering it's 2017 a simple captcha (the kind you still find on tons of comment sections) can be worked around with decent enough bot and scripting.

Wait...I mean.... BLEEP BLOOP THANKS HUMAN BBRTZZTT.

Was easy enough with Google Recaptcha V2 and still isn't impossible to be honest.
Will stop the average scriptkiddie though, I'll give you that.

those bypass scripts must be really stupid simulating a real user makes the bot working very slow also i doubt it that you can bypass it everytime ( i am not a robot checkbox )

are you sure it's not just a bot using a bot?

If bots are the only ones being nice, might as well thank them.

I think it's a pity that people stopped thanking because some gifters blacklist for that. If someone posts thanks, I thank them for that in return. I hope it encourages some more to thank.

I started to comment/respond to most generic posts on GAs after I got about 8 comments within 1 second from someone. I figured they'd be OK with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
