Can we stop commenting "thanks" on the giveaway?

Thanks!

I am greatful

You should know there are some good people out here who thanks you for all of your contribution, it won't matter if you say them not to post Thank you comments.

thanks for the thread

It's nice to see how you feel

The winning move is not to create giveaways! No one'll ever thank you again!

It's politeness mostly, I think. Some people value a wall of thanks.

someone know how much will a gifts be worth on steamgifts if you buy it when its like $2,00 but normally its $10,00?

Thank you

I always say that because it's more interactive

On the old version of SG I said "Thanks" on every single GA I entered or at least very very close to it with sometimes adding a little something extra. Now with all comments going to the inbox I usually hold off, sometimes I'll say something though not always. When I win though, I always add a thanks type comment and if the creator contacts me I say thanks at that time as well.

If this is heresy, I have been accused of far far worse in my time. /grin

Thanks!

But seriously, can we all stop caring?

Thanks

No because it's the polite thing to do. The owner took their time and maybe their money to make a giveaway for someone to win it, why shouldn't we say thanks?

tyvm

Thanks dude

thanks bro

You could always write in your giveaway description : "People who write 'thanks' will be rerolled. No thanks necessary, it's all good!" and you'll kill most of that spam.

thanks

thanks for the opportunity!

Thanks for informing. If you really don't want thanks, you could add this to copy-paste text in description of every giveaway you make. I'll try not... do or do not, there is no try... ok, I'll stop thanking you if I have nothing more to say as long as I remember :P

PS: luckily there's "Mark all as read" button :)

This is why I usually ask a question in my giveaways, although its more for the conversation and community interactions then anything else.

THANK YOU BRO

Thanks

So, here it goes on SG :

• We don't like getting "thanks" on our giveaways.
• We don't like the winners add our Steam account if they won our game.
• We send the key instantly without any communication or message to the winners.

How the winners say their thanks, if the creators block all avenue? There are a lot of rants about winners who don't say thanks, but creators should still allow the community to say their thanks.

You are giving away something for free, it is normal, ethical, and polite for people to say thanks to you, whatever they won or not. Yes, the thanks could me mechanical and not sincere at all, but at least it show a drop of sincerity.

A simple descriptions of "No thanks comment. Thanks comment will be added to blacklist" will be good enough.
