I'm just curious to know whether everyone 'thanks' the original poster for posting the competition if they enter it?

I noticed that some are posting that they have won a particular post, but they are not listed as thanking the original poster.

I thank the poster if I enter the competition and all the contributors if they have confirmed/given an answer or useful information.

I know people don't have to thank them, just wondered what everyone thought......

just being curious.....do you go through all the IWIWIW threads and then go and check if the winners have thanked the OP who posted the comp? if so, why?

I thank every post I open even if I don't enter, answers, helpful Qs, the dupe spotting ones, requesting merge...etc. I don't thank newbies silly Qs.

what might seem a silly Q to you might not be to a newbie.....we don't want to put people off asking Qs if they need help

Self-promoters and spammers for a start.

Indeed exactly those.

And of course anybody you have blocked as you can't see their posts to know what you are thanking.

And just to be totally clear as I'm not sure 100% of my readers realize this, I don't actually think you get tea made by Martin after a certain number of thanks.

I thank the poster of every competition I enter and posters who confirm answers, post the T&Cs, highlight anything that people entering should know etc.
