My god stfu and gtfo ya bunch of whiney bitches. I prefere to thank someone instead of posting up the +1 if i agree with them. Now your either a thankswhore, wanting more people to thank you or you are a postcountwhore, cuz you want the +1 post brought back to increase your post count. Either way, cop the fuck on to yourself, get up turn off your computer and stop wasting my valuable time.

The thanks button is also a last resort way of acknowledging a reply or point in a locked thread (which FB is not short of lately).

Recieving and giving thanks is also a welcoming and friendly gesture, and doesn't need analyzing.

It's the inconsistancy that gets me... you put up what you tihkn is a reaLLt useful post, and no one presses thanks... even thought the say thanks in a fresh post... then you post up a piece of rubbish without thinking and three or four people jump on the thanks button....!!

Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

I like that philosophy. Free love thanks.

The OP is clearly a square trying to put us in a box of oppression. You can't cage this bird Wallstreet!

Dear christ, what's with all the whining in feedback all of a sudden.

It's August, silly season is fully upon us and people simply have nothing else to do.

Thanks whoring will result in your thanking privileges being removed.

Starting a thanks thread, positive or negative, is thanks whoring.

Thanks.

When you log into boards.ie in India, you see a "thank you, come again" button.

Jesus loves you all no matter how much or how little thanks you have. Remember that.
