Thank-whores

I keep seeing people with signatures that say **** like "if I helped you, press the 'thanks' button" and whatnot. Other than devs, who I can understand needing the thanks buttons so that they get rights to edit and manage their own threads, what does the "thanks" button do for the rest of us mortals other than raising the "thanked" count?
Note: for those not familiar with the term "point-whores" (changed to "thank-whores" here), it refers to people trying to get points by all costs, being mostly annoying.

hey! How dare you post with that username... I own the copyrights on this side of xda

I see your point
HEY GUYS IF I HELPED, CLICK MY THANKS BUTTON! I WOULD APPRECIATE IT!

haha, my nickname comes from Dexter Holland (The Offspring's singer), but many people think I took it from Dexter's Lab or Dexter Morgan (from the Showtime show "Dexter")

People still post "Thanks" when they've been helped. I don't like thanks whores but I do quite often find myself thinking "Don't say it - click it!".
I'm not thanks hungry, but it is nice to know you helped someone, without filling the forums with pointless posts.
I think we should have judges who surf the forums and find thanks whores and reset them to 0.

Exactly. The "thanks" button was integrated for a few reasons. A couple of which, to help keep the forums free of "thank you posts" and to give members an incentive to being helpful.
At OP, I do not believe the thanks button has much to do with becomg a recognized developer, as you mention.

also being thanked doesn't help edit threads?

AFAIK being thanked does nothing other than raise your thanks count, and make you feel less pathetic and pointless.

Hi guysss <33333 click thanks so i can get 1000 guys!!!!!!!
Lol jks, not like I want 1000 anyway...

That's actually better than we're used to around here. Your Father should be proud!
Not everybody can be a drunken hobo on meth. Still, it's something for me to aspire to!

So, here's a brief statement, why I'd rather be grounded the usual way instead of beeing grounded the turkish way.
In our family, there are ONLY 2 reasons, for that you have to live and fight everyday. These are Honor and religion. We take this very serious. And now imagine, somebody offends your honor...I know it's hard to picture for someone who's not living like this, so just try to understand and if you don't...ignore it ^^

Should be able to use a screwdriver to pop that top shim off, hammer/roll it out, then re-epoxy it back down. The heatsinks look (and work) better without the marketing garbage, anyway
But yes, that would sh*t me to tears

People that post insanely large pictures in threads irritate me.

People that complain about large pictures irritate me.

Man, that's messed up. We all have our own opinions about it and many share the same. Today is definitely not the day to ride that horse into town.

@bord1er. I usually wouldn't waste my time with you, but read the op. This post was in no way meant to be political. I was in the marines and spent a good deal of time overseas but this has nothing to do with what one thinks about those events and that should be clear, as someone pretty much already posted. However, you've certainly shown your cards, haven't you.

I'm not American and generally don't care about what happens in America, but regardless, Rest In Peace to all those who lost their lives all those years ago, to all the men and women who have lost their lives fighting the war against terror to keep everyone else safe and my heart and condolences go out to all the families and friends who have been affected by the losses.
Also, don't give that troll the time of day. He's just trying to get a thrill from being an arse and being insensitive.
Don't respond to it because it will just keep bringing attention to it.
I'm sure his comment will be gone soon enough anyway.
