Ratings

DMCrafter

I'm stunned to see replies to people's work with a "thanks" type message. Thanks for what?  Someone is posting their work and rating is a way to compliment and offer a bit of leveling up.  It makes me sad when I see posts of people's work and replies of "thanks."   Thanks for what?  Especially so when the persons writing "thanks" are levels above, like 6, 7, 8...they have ratings to give daily and it doesn't hurt to use them particularly for forum members who are fairl new and low on the level scale.  Admins, you can delete this post if you feel it inappropriate.  I know I can't wish people to do something aren't willing to do, but it is just weird.  At least it is weird to me.

I every day look in the diaries, just to  get some new ideas for myself. And when it says nothing for me I be polied and say 'very nice!', but when it amazings me then I write that down too... and when I think "WOW" I give them also rating points, just to say thank you a little more ;-)
And when some people ask my opinion, then I also will write that down, it takes just a few seconds more...
But 'thanks'?
only by sharing and I am happy, I be polied and say 'thank you' to that person to show I am happy that they have shared something...
It can drive you crazy, but that is now the rules this forum is build o,  so actually they do nothing wrong by placing only thanks ;-)

I could have written the same as you DMCrafter ;P it makes me crazy when people write 'thanks' to a post of someones work. If you took the moment to check it out and reply your reply can at least look like you looked at their work. Rating it such a kind and great thing to do for your fellow members, in my opinion, but to say 'thanks' or 'thanks for sharing' to a show of their work I find it insulting. To me it feels like you are posting to move up levels and replying like most of us do to all chart posts. Good point to think about DMCrafter, thanks for raising it :loveliness:

About me, sometimes I appreciate a lot to admire diairies .I never quite go in others sections .no time to look everywhere. But I like to rate people who show me lovely works or women who let red on their wall. Each Day we can offer some coins(about me 60) so for not loosing them I usually give them in one time like I did for you today.
