How does a poster get thanked so much?

Seeing as Mattytun is being used as an example, just look at one good tip post here from a couple of days ago: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=2032079

Its like a little gang thing mate, then you find them thanking each other for thanking them in the first place !!

Thanks for thanking me have another thanks.

Then have a close look at their posts and its a load of old ****

Anyway thanks for asking that question OP

I think the thanks button was removed in the MSE Arms recently as it was being used excessively on the standard "Hi, how are you" daily chatty stuff

They need to be loved, it's a sort of comfort blanket. Don't really get it, myself.

It makes me laugh when someone gets upset and says "Hey - I helped you. Would it hurt to click the Thanks button you ingrate?" As if it actually matters!

Hi,
Do you get extra money when people thank you?

So long as you've registered properly for it you get £1 for every thank you.

So I'm the only one on this thread without thanks! Well thanks for that ;-)

No £1 for me

You are so right Gooner. Have a look over on the benefits and tax credits boards!
There is a right gang there who thank each other for EVERYTHING each other says, one of them has been promoted to board guide now possibly because she is so 'respected' (by the gang) and has so many thanks votes!
The thing about this gang is well is that they say really judgemental and abusive things to questioners sometimes and this is fine, but anybody who isn't in the gang will get jumped on for one slight wrong move! Bleurrgghh! They are sad pathetic little authoritarians who like brown-nosing and being in positions of 'power'. There's probably similar little bully gangs on other boards, just as there are in real life and sadly these people tend to weedle their way into positions of 'power'. I bet they are key jangling manager types in real life, who do sfa but pontificate about how much they do and how good they are.
I pointed their double standards out earlier today and my post was removed within minutes. Whoops think I may be on the board guide's 'naughty list'. Let's see how long this one stays on.
Cheers!

I'm a member of several forums and I really, really miss the 'Thanks!' button on them. It's such a great idea. I have to keep coming back to MSE to get my fix
