A Little request(if it's possible) ...

Hi all, I would like to say a thing: I'm sure that here some(many in my opinion) of the members use the passes without thanking the posters. This happens very often, unfortunately because there are some lurkers on this forum and I'm very sad about it .
So I would ask moderators a favour: please put a new rule!
For ex. every member must give ten replies atleast every month !
I hope someone is agree with me

Thanks a lot

from one hand I totally agree with you about the thank you'z part and that its not very nice how some aren't as polite as others.

every once i awhile we do big lurkers clearout and i'm sure its no problem for the same ones to register again and "lurk around"

I dunno how affective it'll be to make it mandatory, if you don't want to say thanks and we make you then you start spamming.

All I think can be done is to address those who are just lurking and ask them to be gracious enough to say thanks.

Yes, Robot does a great work, but is it so difficult to say thank you!?

First off, I want to admit to being one of those "lurkers" that got cleared the last time ****** did the clearout. That was the first clearout since i became a member and at the time i couldnt figure out why i lost my membership to this board. Since then i have found out why and i just wanted to say that it wasnt because i was ungrateful and didnt wanna thank the pass providers after using the passes, believe me, i was very thankful for their services. Rather, it was more of me thinking whats the use when theres already 100-200 other replies already thanking that certain person for their passes, my one more isnt gonna have that much of an effect. I have since learned that this was a serious issue and have already started replying and thanking them everytime i did use their passes. I hope u all forgive me for my mistake. well anyways...my point for all this is that I myself believe there are more out there that still think the same way i used to think and dont know that their reply is important. I hope that some of you after reading this will realize what i have and start thanking the pass providers, for we all know that their services are very much appreciated. I hope no one will hold any grudges agaisnt me now that i have admitted to have been a "lurker".

Nice words, caodaica..

Your right in your view of replies being important... each reply is further encouragement for the crackers to continue their work, and learn more tricks

I'm agree with u, totally

I agree for the most part, however, some people, like myself only get the time to visit once in a while, this could be a month or more between visits and we get deleted because it's assumed we're lurkers. Where I "attempt" to use some passes, usually they're already dead, I do say thanks.

I create web message board banners, birthday cards, wedding cards and other artwork, I even help manage 4 message boards, one my own, I have to keep it locked to stop CP spammers so I never get a thank you posted, and a website, yet I still continue regardless because I DO KNOW it's greatly appreciated because my msn contacts relay the thanks in many cases.

Some people are afraid to post because they don't have the confidence, or they aren't good at English.

The moderators and the pass crackers do a really great job on these forums, and I appreciate the time-consumming efforts to keep things running smooth and, it has to be said, "we were all newbies once", only time, tolerance and a willingness to learn get us the confidence we need.

Many thanks to all forum members alike.

When I enter into a passes thread I always say "thank you" , even if the passes are dead or I didn't use anyone!
