It's something I've wondered for some time.

Do you prefer that people silently enter your giveaway or do you find it ungrateful and want/don't mind the generic thank you comment spamming the giveaway?

I agree, and find that it's much more common when the giveaway has something interesting in the description for people to work with.

When I thank someone I try to write someting related to the game or the avatar, also if OP ask for something in particular I try to oblige it too (funny or hateful messages mostly).

Prefer silence with the message system now but I don't mind seeing creative comments or thank you from people I know from other sites.

I would like to see more creative comments and even something that fosters discussion. I kind of ignore the thanks yous on my give-aways but try to comment /reply to those who say something.

I like that idea. But it is a little risky:) Especially if you just gave Bad Rats to someone.

Yes! Make a GTA V public Giveaway and you can eat pasta for 20 years.

I prefer silence. Winner can send "Thak you" comment after receiving game and this will be enough for me:)

Original content and comments first. It can still be a thank you, but something more than what a bot will auto-post. That's what I prefer.

Personally though, full of comments of any sort or none at all, as long as the person who wins the game enjoys playing it is my hope.

I recommend anyone interesting in participating in a discussion about this in more detail refer to my thread about giveaway comments (it also has a poll): http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/Yno8L/giveaway-comments-pointless-or-praiseworthy

I would prefer silence over spam any day.

Silence. Makes it easier for me to spot when people actually have something interesting to say.

I don't care either way. I only want people to post something interesting if they can. If they can't, I really don't care for thank you comments.

Thanks is annoying to me; even in other people's giveaways. I like it when GA creators ask people questions or leave unusual comments. The Thanks thing is just... ugh...

No Vote.

Not bothered what they do when they enter a GA.
As long as they say thanks when I give them the game then I'm happy.

This. Anyone interested can check my GA for a template of a description which actually "bans" simple "thank you" comments.

Some call it silly, someone called me a... jerk (and got reported) but this is how I want to give away!

Genuine appreciation is always welcome in my giveaways. :)

"Hey Fyantastic, you are such a great person to give this game away. You rock. I'm naming my kids after you man. You are that cool of a person."

I was okay with just simple thanks on V1, but now that my message inbox gets spammed by all of them, it gets a little annoying.

I honestly never felt the need to even look after setting up a contest, til the notification pops up saying someone won, I didn't even think about it. So, didn't matter in the slightest to me.

I might be more bothered by it if I straight up bought something to put up just to be cool, all mine were extras in bundles I already had, so they didn't mean much to me though.

i think all the "thanks" messages are pointless but i've seen a few giveaways lately where someone has said they'd re-roll the winner if they didn't leave thanks, which i would have thought is against the rules, so maybe i'd rather they just ban the attention whores..

I'm pretty sure rerolling for no reason is against the rules yeah

It's allowed on public and group giveaways if you have support approval.
