Thanking those who respond
I was wondering...
After leaving a thank you to a post, I'm gathering it is a "rep"? Should I thank each one for leaving the thank you? I'm seeing what others have posted in the visitor messages on their profile. Saying thank you for the "rep". Is it what is expected?or selective "thanking". I want to have site etiquette . Thank you

That is up to you. Some people do, some people don't. Personally, it'll depend on what the thanks is for since everyone seems to use it nearly all the time
In this regard, the site etiquette is to do what you feel comfortable with.

Dear Linus,
Your time to answer definitely warrants a thank you! I appreciate it. Seeing your in Redondo, makes me think of marine layer and the scent of the ocean. That alone, makes me smile... Thanks again!

I usually thank the thanks if a comment has also been written in the rep section, and the comment means a lot to me, or if it's a thanks for a post that I am especially appreciative for the support on.

I don't have a lot of time to play online these days...so I'm limited in how much I can respond to. If someone has taken the time to write me a supportive/sweet/funny note, I try to reply in some way. If someone opens up a discussion, asks a question - I try to reply, usually in a PM. If someone is reaching out and it seems they could use some support - I try to reply. But I think the "thank you" function of the rep system is meant to eliminate the need to quote and reply to every post you agree with. It is a way of saying "I hear you" or "That resonates with my experience" or "That is funny/clever" etc. I think if we all thanked everyone who thanked our posts we'd be caught in this inferno like spiral of mutual acknowledgement. All that said, leaving little rep notes/comments, visitor notes or sending PMs - can be a nice way to start new friendships and make connections within the community, especially when you're new. Welcome to BFP!

I believe that the thanking option on here is a brilliant way to say...i agree or i hear you. It's used so much and it is really important with the magnitude of issues we discuss as well as "i like my hair today". It's a wonderful asset to this site!!!!

I have also noticed that sometimes, people will thank a post you made as a nod to your thanking one of their posts earlier. |
