Thanking someone for a like?

[NewBuilder]

What is the proper etiquette for thanking someone when they give you a like? A private message, responding in the

 

[chilerelleno]

Few do, most don't.
Some will personally thank each and every Like they get in a thread, any thread, not just their own threads.
I imagine there might be some that use PMs.

Personally I do not reply to every Like I receive.

I do try to reply back to everyone who replies to my threads whether they included a Like or not.

The system here used to be Points, and Points were generally given to something that the giver considered extraordinary or worthy for whatever reason.
And you only had a limited number of Points that you could give per day.
So back then giving and receiving Points meant more than the current Facebook-esque Likes.

I tried to reply to every Point I was given whether there was a reply or not.
Again, it meant a lot more to get a Point from someone.

Basically comes down to personal preference. There are a few that I have seen trying to thank everyone who likes there post but for the most part it seems people don’t respond with a thanks for the like. Chili summed it up pretty well so I won’t say the same thing twice.

^^^^^^^ EXACTLY! MY RESPONSE IS EXACTLY AS CHILE’S. I don’t thank everybody who gives me a like, but I do appreciate it. Back in the day the point system really meant something. If you got a point it was for something special. Now I just give out likes to everybody unless their thread has nothing to do with smoking meat or food & it seems that everybody does it too. Personally I wish they would just do away with the likes, it’s just like facebook & really means nothing. If you notice some of the old timers get likes for nothing more than a grilled cheese sandwich, but a newbie that puts up a beef Wellington may only get 2 or 3 responses & a couple of likes. I say get rid of it. A written thank-you for a well written thread would be much better than just hitting the like button. But of course this is only my opinion.

I agree with Al it is a shame when a grilled cheese or hot dog gets more likes then something that is deserving of them. It definitely takes the meaning of them away. Don’t take it the wrong way I do like grilled cheese and an occasional all beef hot dog but not enough to post them looking for likes.

 

[chilerelleno]

I don't necessarily think we should do away with the facebook-esque Likes and associated emoticons.

I would like to see the Point system come back in some shape or form.
It meant a lot when somebody gave you a Point.
And getting more than a handful of points on a thread was almost as good as a ride on the Carousel.

I agree that the old point system was for well earned presentations Like Peachey said you can get more for a hot dog then a great prime rib.

But if someone is nice enough to give me a like then I'm gentleman enough to THANK them.

What kind of cheese are you thinking? There are so many options with cheese variety and different types of bread. Just make sure if you are planning on posting it you use smoked cheese.

 

[HalfSmoked]

Well am I suppose to thankyou or not?

Thanks for the likes flatbroke and peachey they are appreciated.

Al I agree, plus it's difficult keeping up with all of the likes sometimes, and you don't want to skip someone.
I liked what you said above, I hope it doesn't offend you, lol.

You mean under my name here? I just did that and nothing happens. On a post I made, I click on the names it shows and it puts up a list of those who liked something for that particular thread in time order. That's the only way I keep track. I sincerely appreciate the likes, but I'd hate to omit thanking anyone for them. Thanks for the info Warren.

I've been doing that, nothing happens. Might be my browser. I even tried it in the window that opens if you hover over the name, and the same thing.
