How good does it feel when someone says thank you?

If it's a generic thanks on the giveaway page, I don't feel much, but when some winners send a thank you back, it means the world to me.

A simple thank you doesn't really do much for me (I prefer personalised/funny comments), but I definitely notice if someone doesn't do it at all when entering a giveaway. That irritates me.

I honestly don't care if people say thank you. I mean, I'm sure people are grateful that I'm giving away a game, they don't have to actually tell me so for me to feel good about giving stuff away. That applies to everything, too.

I love every single thank you on my giveaways :D And also thanks on profile/email

A thank you afterward is quite nice.

it depends on what their intent for saying thank you is

I don't care about them at all. Generic "thanks" just annoy me because I'm more interested in people that have something interesting to say and the thanks spam just hides those good messages.

maybe they only say thank you because they don't speak english well

If its a special "thank you" post, it touches me more.

I love every single comment I get on a giveaway. Also I appreciate a nice short talk with every single one of my winners.

Once I got emotional because one of them wished me merry christmas like a month after he won. And I totally did not expect it.

The problem is some people like to get the "Thanks", some don't, so what do you do?

I've only made a few giveaways so far and really am not bother about not commenting on public giveaways. If they want to say "Thanks", it's not going to piss me off either. It's nice to get some kind of response on privates.

I will give out a few "Thanks" here and there, especially on privates, I kind of assume people have the filter installed, so if they don't want to see them then they don't. For public though, I might be entering 20 at once and unless I have something specific to say, then I generally won't, unless no one else has yet.

8 giveaways and not 1 winner even left a copy/paste thnx on the giveaway page.
Nor any replied to the e-mail I sent key to them to say thanks.

thank you
^ how does that feel?

"thank you"'s from entrants, don't really spark that joy joy feeling inside. Although I suppose it hurts a little when no-one comments at all.

You've said it all in that sentence.

100% better than them saying nothing, really someone says nothing for a game vs a simple thanks

It's nice. But I appreciate it more when someone says also something more than just a simple "thank you".

I also appreciate when people thank you afterwards, after sending them a key or a gift. Everyone should do that. It's common courtesy.

It feels good when you send the winner an email and they actually respond back with a thank you.

I prefer they say Banana.

I'm not too bothered about generic thank you's on the giveaway page, I prefer personalised messages, but it certainly irritates me when someone doesn't have the decency to thank you once you send a game to them.

I'm not too bothered by "thank yous" either way. It's always nice when people express their gratitude, but I won't lose my shit when someone doesn't feel like saying thanks. Honestly, the best thanks I ever get is when I check on a giveaway winner's profile and I see they've racked up a lot of time on the game I gave them.

I always feel a little guilty when I don't have the time to play a game I won, or when I won a game and get tired of it after 20 minutes.

It doesn't make me feel good when someone posts a quick thank you on my giveaways, but I am annoyed when someone wins the giveaway without having even taken the time to do that much.
Yes I do feel good when someone emails me to thank me for the giveaway.

The sheer number of people that don't bother to say thanks is the reason I haven't given anything away in months. Instead I end up with games sitting uselessly in my inventory. If people don't care enough about winning games to say thanks then it's hard to care enough to take the 2 minutes to set up a giveaway.

The same effect as my penis entering a tight area

Far better than their never responding at all to msgs for days after winning a $40 game, the only hint of acknowledgment being their finally marking received a week later. Sometimes wish we could re-roll for that level of douchebaggary..

But the ones who are very grateful make up for it by making you forget the ungrateful.
