I personally just don't understand what the fuss is about...
If a thread is incredibly good, we give thanks...If it's "average" (not INCREDIBLE but not crap) we acknowledge it and read it...I think the fact that you READ a thread is enough to give it justice...after all, isn't that why it's there? You might read an incredibly good book, and you might recommend it to a friend. Then you might read a book that was good, but not as good as the first one...you probably wouldn't recommend it but does that mean the author get's insulted? If a thread/book is crap...you probably would give up after the first few sentences/pages. You see my point? |

I mean, the idea that someone would be discouraged to post threads because they get little or no "thanks"... it's silly. We've had "thanks" for months and never has someone spoken out saying "I refuse to make threads because nobody thanks me". |

I'm with you completely. The idea is just daft. And, personally, I think it says a lot that nobody has said, "I haven't had any thanks so I'm not posting new threads" supports the idea that all this is silly.

And word choice my friend. It gives a user a different connotation when use, "I dont think it is a good idea" than saying, your diea is "naff, silly, stupid." The fist quote, is better than the latter because you have stated your opinion in a more mature, positive way. Where as the latter, sorry to say this, but sounds like a grumpy old person would say. |

I don't personally care btw, since it is my thread. But I am warning everyone that it is against the rules, so be careful all. Also, I think if the OP doesn't mind if his/her thread goes off topic by users, then mods shouldn't lock it. But that will be another suggestion I will suggest in the future. Which I am sure, most of the posts will be for against it. Like what elses new. Last edited by lokelake; 07-26-2010 at 09:19 AM. |

Ok...on 2 of your threads I've recently read you've said something along the lines of "I don't care...but" or "I'm not bothered by this...but"
You clearly do care...if you're making threads "warning" people about the rules of gD...which to be honest, when it comes to petty little things like this, I'm not even sure the mods care! Yes, if someone is abusing someone's thread completely, with complete disregard to that person's feelings, then something should be done. But worrying whether people get offended because they don't get thanks on their thread is a bit far in my opinion. It's like Political correctness...it's only there because the people in power THINK that it offends the people in question...when really, they probably don't care! Again...just my opinion |

Then the mods should take action against the user(s) if they are going off topic just to offend, not close the entire thead. Now, I can see why mods would have to close the thread if the OP did care about users going off topic.
I care about the rest of you, that is why I warned you all abut going off topic. |

Lets keep this about thanking threads and not SC2.
Edit: Consider this a warning about not going off topic. If you have any questions, PM me. Don't post here

Personally I thank threads that are exceptional or have something I would actually consider doing (which is very few). Whether I post a thread and get thanks or not doesn't really matter to me. Nice to have but not of grave concern.
