I feel the same way that you do.
I just figured I couldn't say thanks cause it pretty much says "do not reply" and also I get embarrassed like "oh god they read what I wrote"
I am a painfully shy person so it's just awkward for me when someone actually pays attention to me.

But I do appreciate the mods 100% they are all great and have to deal with too much BS at times and always handle themselves in such a graceful, polite, and appropriate way.


IMO I think that one of the best ways to show appreciation and respect towards the mods is to always handle yourself in a mature productive manner while discussing things on ATS as it helps add to the community they all work so hard to keep going and also makes their jobs a little tiny bit easier, and also keeping this in mind during heated debates remember that you may be angry with that one person but as a whole remember that the Mods are ultimately going to have to be the ones who have to deal with the situation if it crosses the line.

I'm always honored when i receive an applause, and appreciate the fact that someone thought highly of one of my posts and took the time to say so.

I always thank the person that applauded me. However i don't respond to the applause, i send a U2U directly to the person that applauded me.

But I marked them.




Thank you, thank you!! That gave me a good laugh. I imagined you spraying the computer screen, in order to "mark" them!!



(I know what you meant....but, ya gotta admit, it came out funny!!!)

That's what we really need!! A new 'smiley'!!

'embarrassed'....?

Or, maybe 'contrite'??

That one is sad, could fill the bill.....

edit:

Actually, this fills the bill, quite well, for contriteness...perhaps?

Buddy my applause are far and few inbetween. Apparently I do not say interesting things often... and thats ok. People seem to like my writing and that makes me feel good, But when I get applause it does make my ATS day.


Well like I said... doesn't matter so much without our beloved post bar now..

Besides, applausess aren't all that is. I wish I had more stars, flags, and replies for example. Flags and replies are what get your thread on the front "homepage" of ATS.

My point is that ATS offers many extra little incentives (like applause, stars, flags) to get us posting quality stuff. But I'm assuming the vast majority of ATS comes here to read, write, and discuss topics of interest to us. They don't come here for the coffee.


You may think its so 2007 and thats cool. But I like it and I thank all that took the time to think enough about one of my posts to applaud it.


You stop there? I find out their personal email and send them online thank you cards lol.

Nah.... I was just making humor when I said its so 2007. I do like applauses just like everyone else. All of the staff here are sharp people. It's an honour to get an applause and I still remember my first one..... and it wasn't on ATS.... was on PTS. PTS rocked because you got 1500 points per applause!

Hah! Hahahah! Bwahahahahah!!!

Oh my.......

The "post bar" was such a bone of contention!!! NO one seemed to understand its origins, or function...not to diminish its importance, mind you. Symbolism, that's all. New feature?? More symbolism, but at least defined....

Egads!

You applauseses are so few and far between that should I ever have the privilege of receiving one I'll be composing a "thank you" dissertation for thee ... perhaps even some romantic poetry.

That's what I'll do ...

Deal with it!
