Board Etiquette

[Justanothergirl]

Stupid question but...

I have never thanked anyone for Rep. I gather that it is appropriate to do so. Do you thank everyone who Reps you?

Thank you!

 

[Ace Bandage]

I don't thank anyone who reps me. They don't do it often enough to begin with, so why bother? If rep was gold bullion, then I'd be thanking people. It's just a meaningless number, and I don't really like any of these people anyway.

Seriously though, I hate when people thank me for repping them. Greg loves to be thanked for giving rep though. Be sure to PM him or shoot him a message on his visitor page.

Thanking for rep is the most retarded thing since cheese sticks.

I thank people for their contribution to the board by repping them. If they thank me for my thankyou, they effectively thank themselves, which is after all a cheap jerk off.

I REP YOU AND YOU FUCK OFF!!!

 

[Mayhem]

After 5 years here, I'm just now finding out I have a visitor page. So, thanx to all those who thanked me, but it really was no trouble.

 

[BlueBalls]

Unless a direct question or comment was left with the rep that I feel the need to comment on, going to someone's page just for the sake of it to thank them is utterly pointless in my opinion.

I used to do it, but that was when I cared.

Now, you can all go fuck yourselves.

 

[Vlad The Impaler]

I always say thanks cause my momma didn't raise an ungrateful swine like ARy and Greg. :tongue:

Edit: adds BB to previous list.

 

[StanScratch]

I used to thank people, but have not for quite some time. Not not doing it to be rude - I just don't want to flood other people with "thanks for thinking my misspelled, misstyped, grammatically incorrect post was a solid contribution to the board."

P.S., I really do not mind the "thank yous" from others, so do not get me wrong.

Please see my signature.

For all who know me, know the way I rep, maybe not the why.

 

[Baill Inneraora]

I don't.

 

[Hot Mega]

It's up to the individual...

People rep for different things so naturally people will have mixed opinions on whether someone should be thanked for it. Mostly I take it as a "good job" acknowledgement from the repper ...for that I thank the person who bestows the rep for their acknowledgement.

My initial instinct when I first got repped was that it would be rude or kind of jack assish to not even acknowledge the act of someone repping you.

I mean, you make a good play in some sport and people around you say good job or great play...shouldn't the natural response be "thank you" to that?

Rep doesn't seem very different concept-wise from that IMO.:2 cents:

 

[mrtrebus]

I can't be bothered anymore, well sometimes when I can be bothered anymore. . .

[dbradford8589]

I thank people for rep but I guess I should stop.

 

[Hot Mega]

I thank people for rep but I guess I should stop.

Why? If you think it's appropriate to thank someone...do it.

I'm not going to stop thanking people because some have a different take on what rep is for...

 

[Vlad The Impaler]

I have to thank people for repping me. I know some people think I'm an asshole, and thats fine, but I would feel like an asshole if I didn't.

Thank you!

I thanked you for the rep today JAG, but normally I don't thank people.

There are exceptions of which you are one.

Fuck Tou Too (as per board etiquette).

It doesn't matter much anyway.

You'd love to feel an asshole. . .wouldn't you.
I know you would.

He's just sour grapes because he's no longer in contention of leading the pack . . . of animals around here. Maybe next season so say the Cubby fanfare. :anonymous
