Ok so basically, this is a rant for all forums not specifically this one...but I've noticed in a lot of the threads I read through people asking this or how to do that or can someone do this or where can I find that...now imagine how easy it is to click the thanks button the forum developer put on posts, hell even saying thank you in the thread??? Alot easier than it was for someone to take the time to answer your question or help you out?
I see this all the time on all the forums...
So why is it that most people don't do it?? Serious question? Has it come down to just being a gimme gimme gimme world? And trust me with 6 kids in my house I understand that...but my 2 year old neice says bless you when you sneeze or thank you for whatever reason it is deserved??
So why is it that some grown ass men or women or even teenagers on these forums can't even say thanks? Lol. That thanks button is there...well atleast my view on it...so that when someone gives me advice or a suggestion I see they have been thanked umpteen times or however many times and I'm like well this person seems credible? And it may not seem like it to everyone, but to me it kind of makes you feel good that you helped someone and they took the time to thank you Seriously people...we need to start thanking those that deserve it!!
And again this was a rant for all the forums I frequent not this one, not any specific thread, and not about me getting thanks because I dont care if I do or don't...I'm not a Dev, I'm not a Themer, I'm just a guy that visits forums and passes along info and knowledge I've recieved from people that I have thanked
And this will be on the other forums I frequent also since not everyone is on XDA
Thanks for reading
Now what are your thoughts
Edit** And for those that say I use forum "X"s app and there isn't a thanks button but I thank later from a computer, this isnt about not getting thanked right away...just not getting thanked at all **
I think people asking those questions over and over don't even know it...
If it was a little more in your face they would probably press it like after you reply it should ask ...would you like to thank?
Thank you!

This is the part I agree with the most. Even from the phone, hit menu on the XDA app, browser, and thank the person helping you.
Thank you...I too get a little irked when you spend a couple of days working with someone, fix their issue and then they are gone. BTW I thanked you!
Honestly, I liked XDA better when there wasn't a thanks button, then people wouldn't complain about it being used

Thats a great suggestion but I think then people would complain about it being in your face, like trying to make you thank someone. Which you never have to do. You aren't required to thank anybody...
That's why it makes people feel good when they are actually thanked Because you actually took the time to let me know I helped you

Appreciate your honesty but again in my post I said it's not about the thanks button not being used
Even though I can point out I don't know how many posts in a single ROM thread that a person has an issue or question and it is answered or solved and like stated above...they are gone ...it's not about the button...but the lack of the common courtesy of saying thank you
*thanked for your honesty
IDK, one of my biggest pet peeves are people who are like panhandling for "thanks". The people who say "don't forget to thanks if I helped you" and things like that. To me its a meaningless number under my username. I guess its nice knowing you helped someone by them "thanking" you, but 99% of the time that I help a person, they actually write out a comment to me thanking me for helping them.
Yea, its a rude move not to thank a person that is helping you, but I don't help people for thanks. I help people because if I know something that can help them, I can make their day/life a tiny bit easier and then someone else will do the same for me.

That's exactly it! It's not about the thanks button lol Everyone is refering this to that lol
I only referenced the number because like I said...why is it really there? I think to let others know that you've been a help to someone previously....
It's about the lack of the common courtesy
That's why in my sig it says if "someone" has helped you not me! lol If you say thanks in a post back great! If you click the button cool! Just thank the person helping you somehow!
Edit: And thats another thing its about paying it forward I'm always helping people on the side of the road, or getting off the top of their cars during a flood...But unless they thank you how do you know that you helped them?
Edit: Maybe I should change my sig to say Thank them not hit the button

Part of not getting thanks is xda's 5 thanks per day and the other part is people prefer the app when the browser works quite well....its all I use to post and I always post from my phone.

I hate to let you down, this is not related to rooting the phone.
I'm not a developer. The most advanced code I've written was in my high school computer science course in Pascal. I've used C++ before, but never got anywhere.
You probably don't realize what you're doing requires an amazing amount of skill and mental aptitude. Its something second-hand almost to you developers, but some of us even have a hard time understanding step-by-step instructions. The only way most of us can even begin to contribute is by money, but unfortunately, I can't afford to donate to supply you a source of income, so I know you are mainly doing this for yourself, and then sharing it with others to showcase your ability.
Honestly and wholly from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for everything you do for us. I know this is probably unnecessary motivation as you're probably working on rooting right now, but really your hard work is truly admired.
THANK YOU and THANK YOU.
I hope everyone else who sees this and can offer no other means of gratitude will add to this post in support of our developers.
Whats the point of this thread? a$$ kissing wont get the phone rooted any faster...GEEZ
Yeah kind of a pointless misleading thread, why not just thank the people doing the work in all the other threads?

Don't be a tool...at least he is kind enough to say thanks.
I've just completed my first year of college for Software Engineering, and it can be frustrating enough trying to find other ways to solve a problem when all the ideas you had didnt work. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to work on rooting a phone.
I'm pretty sure the dev's enjoy a thank you every now and then. I would imagine its nice getting some appreciation inbetween all the complaints that the phone isn't rooted yet and that it need to be asap.
sorry, but its still a pointless thread

Maybe you guys will eventually realise that by pointing out that somebody's post is "stupid and pointless", just shows the real devs how idiotic and immature our "community" is.
If a method is found, it will be posted. The entitlement issues that are shown by people like you have to stop.

PM's are easy to ignore and they don't seem to bother him, fun does not bother him, fun nonsense does not bother him, useless complaining, same question 100 times, failure even bother to know how to do basic maint on your phone, bothers him.
Coming into the thread without ANY phone knowledge and expecting it handed out bothers him ...

Seriously....its not hard. And no, trolls, I'm not whining because no one thanks my posts. Just look around at the ratio of downloads : thanks. You'll find simple .apk posts that have 110 views, but the post was only thanked 4 times. Please don't try to tell me that all 106 other people used the XDA app to download. I realize that you can only give 5 thanks a day, and the app has no button, but everyone here knows theres always been a serious lack of appreciation here in the Vibrant forum.
It's the easiest, most effortless way to show appreciation to someone, yet it seems at least half the forum can't take .28 seconds to hit the thanks button. Don't just download and run guys. Slam that button, and do it with a smile...cause you would expect the same.
Any time you download posted content, either via link, or via attachment...it is out of courtesy that you hit it every time....regardless of whether or not you liked the content. Also...dont just thank popular devs. Even if its someones first post, they still deserve recognition.

youre such a rebel badass....classic vibrant user
yah we wouldnt want you to strain your finger muscles or anything. And the reason the "Thanks" button showed up was because of popular demand. It is a widespread feature across internet forums. Some people actually enjoy giving thanks....even if it is through a virtual, meaningless button......its certainly better than your deplorable attitude.
"hey, we'll take all the free roms, kernels, themes, apps, mods, etc. that we can get!! just dont expect us to press a 'Thanks' button, because WE think its a cheesey concept."
you dont care if someone wants to feel special?? interesting, well id bet youd want that person to care if you downloaded something of theirs and there turned out to be something wrong with it, right? Youre the type of person that downloads something....doesnt say thanks or leave any positive feedback....but then once you find something wrong, something you dont like, or something you WANT, THEN you will make the effort to jump on the forum and say a thing or two.
The bottom line is it doesnt matter what the hell you think about the Thanks button. If someone is kind enough to provide you with something that improves your phone experience, and all they ask from you to do in return is to move your mouse a couple inches to click the Thanks button?????....then you hit the friggen Thanks button!...quid pro quo, clarice.....

The reason they leave, mainly, is for site hits. But I also think it's because the moderating on xda is so inconsistent, and sometimes hypocritical.
By keeping their content in a forum that they control, they are likely to have cleaner, productive threads...because anyone that flames/hinders production will ACTUALLY get disciplined.
But yes, I do agree that blasting the forum on the way out is cowardly....but I'm not going to point fingers. Just keep in mind that I kind of see where they are coming from.....people can be very unappreciative, and will jump at any chance to get on each other's case (see members above)....it gets annoying after a while, and starting a controlled environment can really cut that type of **** down...as opposed to letting the critters roam free

I LOVE when someone hits "thanks" - it is natural to feel good when someone appreciates you/your efforts.
I HATE when...
people whine about not getting thanks
or make posts about "click thanks" (defeats the f'ing point of the button / clutter)
and I hate when people make their signatures all about hitting their thanks button.
Both sides of the "argument" are right in this thread.

hey guys. thought id fill you in on some info then ask for a favour
as you all know j.Anderson is a tremendous pain in the kneck. and has been banned for being one.
however another thread popped where you all speculated its was his second account. the thread was deleted but im here to tell you it was his account.
the reason im telling you this is because now i know he is not beyond making sock-puppets to make stupid posts
so the favour i want to ask is, if you see a post that seem familiar in wording or content. as well as reporting via the correct methods could you also let me know.
weve had this issue before with another user not long before 2.1 was due to be released and i dont want it to happen again
thanks in advance

I am absolutely convinced that he is mentally ill, possibly even schizophrenic. I think he really believes that he has some secret or unique knowledge. Some of his posts at talk.sonyericsson.com are even more puzzling.
yeah i agree his posts are nonsensical. i remembered the other user i had trouble with. Its was iHim.
Looks like the neighborhood watch is now in effect! We'll be on the lookout! That goober's posts stick out like a flasher in a trenchcoat at the playground and he's likely in the same state of mind.

To try make us all look crazy?
You seem like a guy that has a clear different plan from actually helping someone or doing anything good for this forum and now you plan to change your target to me.

I'm also on the watch (while the others are sleeping, I'm watching and viceversa).
So please PM me also if you find a similar erratic member.

lol I know that, I read his posts. But he seems so helpless to me ^^ If you read his posts it's to me like 'did he even read the last answer or any post in this thread? Did he even use Android once?' I mean, what was that thing with this Office 2k certificates?! Seriously... That's what I meant what reminds me of a noob

No. Batman is Bruce Wayne.
I wasn't going to say anything but I must. Some member/members are getting out of control with the "thanks" whoring. When you get to the point that you ask for a "thanks" at the end of every one of your damn posts, ya need to chill. Its annoying. If someone wants to thank you they will.
I'm not going to name anyone but a member went as far as to require "thanks" before they would release a certain item people were waiting on! F*n really?
If you didn't know, "thanks" do not make you cooler, smarter, a better member, more popular, or make your e-penis bigger
Carry on.......

I wish there was a 'No Thanks' selection, that way, we could negate some of the thanks people had built up, meaning once you start being useful you must continue to do so...or never start to begin with...
I see some users with high thanks meters and then start being real jerks...
Exactly. What really took the cake for me was seeing someone not only asking for thanks in every one of their freaking posts, whether helpful or not, but then they said they would not post an eagerly awaited update to one of their "products" unless people started hitting the thanks button. Ridiculous

The "THANKS" button is apparently the most used and abused button I observed so far.
And I agree, some even go to the extent in using it as a bargaining chip to provide help to others.
Geez!! What a shame... If u want to help others then help them. Don't go to the point of resorting to some mild form of blackmailing.others to thank you.
Thanking someone is when people appreciates your help and effort and for you not to expect anything in return.
It is heartily given!

I too hate it when people beg for thanks in each and everypost, but the thing is nobody even bothers to hit thank for a well written and lengthy post
But that does not justify unnaturally large signatures with thank.requests.
Ps - that's another thing I hate ..large signatures, most often the reply would be a few sentences and the damn signature would take up half the page.
From the Moderator
Posting about people not having the consideration to provide a "thanks" when they are helped or given improvements to their phone....... is neither lame or random. It is a big problem in this site/forum. So many Developers leave because of all in the inconsideration shown to them, people complaining like they are some sort of slave. It is your device take responsibility for once in your life.
Be Kind and show "thanks" when people help you, it helps the site and everyone.
To those trolls who think it is cute to be sarcastic, immature, usually, know little about these devices, so keep your lame comments to yourself. Those who continue on being offensive... there is no tolerance for it, you will get infracted and banned......
Be respectful, be helpful, hit the thanks button when you get help and enjoy improving your device because of this website.
Oh and for what it is worth....... I hate big signatures/Banners as well, but per the rules they are allowed **sigh**

I agree, There have been some very helpful and knowledgeable people around here with hardly any thanks at all, It seems like if you dont have many thanks people dont take you seriously.
I agree we should all thank each other for almost anything that is helpful, Demanding thanks is a bit silly..
Im just here to learn and to help, If i get thanked along the way then thats a bonus :cyclops:
I know lots of people with LOTS of thanks and RC / RD / RT titles, But they are complete assholes ! It doesnt make you cool at all !
We are a community, A giant family if you like. Lets just be nice and treat each other with respect :victory:
Oh and by the way, My e-Penis is bigger than yours lol
EDIT: Not to be sarcastic or anything, But I am actually out of thanks for the day !! typical !!
Why give a ****e about thanks meter anyway lol.; It's a candy for adults never passing the age of 7
People beg on Facebook for likes, here for thanks, wondering where the world is heading to! :/ if you're helpful, you will be thanked, and even if you don't get one more 'thanks' to your collection, it hardly matters.
Edit: Try impressing a girl by showing the huge number of thanks you have on XDA. She will kick you in the nuts! Nobody cares!
