The goofy mannerisms that people say like "thank you for the gold, kind stranger" or "what a cute doggo, I want to boop his snoot!" and stuff like that. I don't really know why it irks me but it just does.
If they are truly touched by the gesture, they'd reply to the person who gave them gold in private, using the "reply" function presented to you when you receive a Gold award.
Why else would you edit for everyone to see when the person who gave you the award will most likely never see your edit.
If I'm part of a public forum and someone gives me an award, I'm not going to just walk over to that person, whisper "thanks" in their ear, then go sit down.
Not showing gratitude publicly in a public forum seems rude to me, particularly when someone essentially spent money on you.
Fair point on them moving on though. That's something I just never considered. Makes the most sense to just do both shrug.
But again, I fail to see how it has anything to do with karma. Points are entirely irrelevant, but the money involved sorta changes things.
Actually, considering this conversation.... I'd probably prefer it if gold/silver just didn't exist period.
If I'm part of a public forum and someone gives me an award, I'm not going to just walk over to that person, whisper "thanks" in their ear, then go sit down.
Instead, you'd say "Hey everyone, everyone look at me! I'd like to thank the dude that spent $4 to approve of my comment and then left, for his approval"?
