Why do People on here

[nonlinear]

Yes, I noticed that too. I think they just want to increase there post numbers.

yea, seriously I think about 90% of the posting on here is to increase post numbers. seriously, 90% of every thread is a "thank you" which contributes NOTHING and simply adds to the already cluttered boards. also, people tend to keep posting in dead or obviously scam threads, e.g. the danactive offer or the weber bbq grill spatula offer. just let them die, people, so that the top can be reserved for working offers!


I really think the board admin needs to repeal that gift card for posting policy. would really clean up the boards.

Not sure what you mean: do you think it is ok just to post a thank you and nothing more meaningful as a means of gaining a post?

Sorry I was refering to the OP, but if someone wants to say thank you, what's the big deal, if they are doing it for more posts who cares, they don't get free gifts for saying 400 x's thank you

[smartmama]

But nonlinear has a point! Many of the threads I read are just a whole bunch of thank you's. That's not useful to any of us.

[Applepie]

I don't mind the all "thank you"'s but the fact that people bring up old posts. There are 51 pages, there are a lot of expired ones, no need to bring it to the front, let it go to the older pages.
Jaba, SC does offer gifts for posts.

people say thank you to let the OP know that the deal that they posted is appreciated, not to gain a post. You don't get a gift from SC for posts that are only thank yous - they check! I think only 20% of your qualifying posts are allowed to be thank you posts.

I post Thank You not to increase my number of posts, but to actually thank the person.
If I start a thread I like it when people post thank you, because it makes me feel like I've actually helped people and appreciate the time they take to thank me
Of course if I have some additional/useful info to share I always do that too.

Also by posting something, it helps me quickly and easily keep track of the posts that I've thoroughly read through (and not just quickly opened), because honestly sometimes I can't remember

If anyone comes across a dead thread or dead freebie that I have not noticed, just PM me the link and I will move it, simple as that.

[Justine]

It doesn't bother me, if the link is still valid it makes more sense to post in an old thread than to start a new one.

I think a lot of people on this board would agree with you

most of the people who say thank you say it because they want the person who posted to know that their effort is appreciated.

people also post a thank you for a freebie so that they A. know they have sent for it & B. know when they sent for it so they have some idea when it might be time to start looking for it

in the contest section people post thank yous in single entry contests so that they know the contest has been entered and they won't enter again and be disqualified.

I have seen long time members post weekly and even daily in a contest that they have entered are you accusing them also of posting thank you to increase their post count or is it only the new members that you are accusing of this

since each freebie and each contest is listed individually it really doesn't muck up the board a lot to do this and it makes everyone feel a little better.

this kind of snipping is the reason it took me so long to join the site and the reason it have I never posted before this. Comments like this make new comers to the board afraid to post

Nothing wrong with saying thank you. If it's a contest entry, I like to say thank you so that I know that I have entered the contest if I look at the thread again, and to show respect to the OP.

Yes I know I got my magnet, but it's not because I wrote thanks 99 times, if I had been I'm sure I would have been told by an admin to post something more beyond my appreciation. I don't see a problem with people showing their appreciation and being polite.

[smartmama]

Wow, now this is interesting. Have learned a lot. Thank you. However, I do not generally look at the contest site so am seeing the thank you's on other sites.

[April07]

Why does it bother you so ? Who cares ? Why make drama out of it ?

I post thank you's to thank the OP and also so I KNOW which conests I have entered... such a big deal eh ? LOL>>> get a life.

[lizziegiggles]

Not sure what you mean: do you think it is ok just to post a thank you and nothing more meaningful as a means of gaining a post?

post a thank you....but not from posts that no longer work or that go way back.. o_o

were almost in april 09 and people bring stuff back from november and december ...

>.<

dead thread.

then its like your looking at posts from way back for no person...

from someone posted"it doesent work" , "oh i missed it"

well duh you have not to be mean was is it really a need to say that?

then people have to look at all the threads when its not needed.

[lizziegiggles]

I just read everyones post

IM NOT SAYING DONT SAY THANK YOU TO THE POSTS THAT ARE ACTIVE.


if you read my post its about the old posts that no longe work and peopl post in them and it brings them back to the top....so it mixes in the new ones and the old ones

which it would be nice to just have the ones where you actually get something (since this is a freebie site) and not have to waste your time reading just to find out that the thread was started in 08 or the company is no longer handing it out

AND MOST OF THE TIME ITS SOMETHING LIKE THIS:

"why doesent this work anymore"
"It doesent work"
"page is invaild"


well when its from 08 ...

i wonder why

>.<
