what about "thanks for playing!"?
tania:
i don't mind "thanks for posting". it's a way of letting someone know their post was sort of stupid and pointless that's more polite than saying "your post was stupid and pointless."
most of the little things i get irritated by regarding posting mainly go around that unwritten rule of how you should put a little bit of thought into what you are posting and consider whether or not people will actually care about it (which is, again, why i get annoyed when the same people constantly hit on the same other people every time they post a picture regardless of how repetitive or unnecessary it's become), so lightly reminding people to think a bit more carefully before they post if skipping that step becomes a habit for them doesn't really seem like a bad thing to me. just my personal preference though.
jhocking:
The only times I find "Thanks for posting!" amusing are when tommy does it as a dig at me. Sort of like how annoying internet sayings are amusing when done once in a long while as a joke. Otherwise, yeah I find it pretty annoying.
Liz:
I have a problem with it because generally it is posted by itself. What is the point of making a post that just says "thanks for posting!"? You're telling someone to not make dumb, pointless posts by making a dumb, pointless post. It's hypocritical and stupid.
