Giving Thanks - the right way to do it and the wrong way

[Casinomeister]

...If you haven't read the forum in a bit, it is easy to find more than five posts to thank. I've chosen carefully and thanked Robwin for suggestion to increase it to 10, even though he said he was kidding...

Okay - making it ten. Behave now, y'hear?

Hello,

There is no good or bad way when you thank someone. Say thanks is a gesture which should be done when required. It may help you with some brownie points

Hi all,

Just an admin reminder about giving "Thanks". There is a right way to do it, and a wrong way.

We have this enabled on the board to you can show appreciation to your fellow members when they make good, informative, helpful posts. You "thank" them.

This is the right way to do it. Now I know many members use this as an "I Agree" button, well that's fine too. But please bear in mind what you are agreeing with. If the person is making a statement that you agree with, well by all means give him/her a cyber "high-five" with the "Thanks" button.

But if a person is ragging on another member, I would suggest NOT "high fiving" this member because this is "mobbing" and is totally uncool.

Imagine being in a room with the members of the forum. Someone makes a comment directed at you stating "You have no idea what you're talking about. You're a moron - get a life." and people start high-fiving this member - how would you feel?

This is not something you'd do in person; please don't do it in the forum.

In essence, use some discretion when thanking your fellow members.

Thanks!

I could have really used that reputation button in 10th grade.

It's not to late, The Meister increased it to ten. You now have the opportunity to feel like a 10th grader again and get the reputation you want!
LOL

i'm sorry I just find it hilarious at how the " Thank You" button has become such a concern.

Oh boy I can't wait to use them.
That & $1.49 will get me a coffee too.
Do we get Cookies & Milk & a Nap time with all this.
