Does it Bug You When Members Don't Thank You?

[Nagishkaw 510]

It's just the right thing to do, IMO.

Nagi, I agree that a thank you is the right thing but I don't think one should expect it nor be too put off when a thank you is not forthcoming. Politeness can go along way toward developing good relationships here and in most aspects of our lives.

NavarreMan,

Thank you.

[Krikit 1,164]

Thank you's are cool, but it bugs me more when someone asks the same question (or states the should-now be corrected info) over and over again despite it being answered a few times over previously. I just wind up ignoring the subsequent requests.

lol @ Jenn

Does the name Daisy spring to mind?

[Queen Jenn 0]

I put no. Sometimes I don't even know if they have thanked me, because I don't always have time to go back and read that thread after I've answered the question.

[chri'stina 190]

It doesn't bother me...I don't write much visa info these days but I answer other questions on the boards sometimes and ask questions. I think a "thank you everyone" is fine instead of having to thank each one individually, especially if you get lots of responses.

[LaurenR 0]

I don't know if I've offered any advice yet (since I'm pretty new to it all). If I did put my two cents in and didn't get a thank you, I don't think it would bother me much. I know how hectic all of this can get. I do however try to make it a point to thank anyone who offers answers to the questions I post (but I've probably forgotten to do this once or twice ) So... I put no but I think it's polite to post thank yous.

No, I was just speaking in generalities thinking back on the years here.

After you and/or other members have gone out of their way to politely respond to another member's question, does it bother you that they don't post a thank you for your input?

I don't offer input. I try to be as unhelpful as possible. So I don't know. You have no choice for N/A. Therefore this poll is flawed.

It doesn´t bother me but a thank you every now and then is nice too

No, but thank you for asking. I would imagine that you have not given much thought to thanking those who have taken part in your poll. I also do not expect a waiter to follow me to the parking lot and fall to their knees thanking me for the tip I left for them. Most information here is gratuitous and I do not think most expect a thank you, but it never hurts to be grateful and to express that gratitude.

*contemplates another poll on un-called for rude posts*

I didn't find that post to be rude at all. So everyone sees things differently, but I would agree with him. I don't really need to have someone tell me thank you. The sharing of information is the purpose of this board. Thank yous are nice in this instance, but I wouldn't react or be upset if I didn't get one. Honestly, I probably wouldn't even notice if I got one or not.

[Nessa 23]

no. thanks for asking

Thank you Nagi for making me chuckle

[Kazan' Tiger 1]

No. I am far more bothered by people that attack other posters trying to offer suggestions or words of encouragement.

It's okay Bassi and Zainab... my response was actually kind of tongue-in-cheek, which I think was how NavarreMan's post was too.

Well, everybody. At this point in time I would like to thank you all for taking part in the poll. It was very kind of you to participate and offer a response. Thank you.

I intentionally omitted an option for anything but a yes or no response. As you know, pollsters do this on purpose. Your input, as always, is appreciated.
