Disappearing posts

[MARKK]

A lot of "Wow thanks" type posts are regularly deleted, especially as we now have a Thanks button.

Heres the inside track:-
If you want your wonderful prose to stay on board then pop along
to Google or where-ever and find a pic you can publish.
No Mod is going to delete a post with a pic in it.

Unless is a duplicate and then...

There are a couple of things I've been wondering about that are relevant to this thread.

My second question is not only for the Mods but everyone.
What is the appropriate use of the "Thanks Button"?
Are you supposed thank someone for their post even if you don't download the file they posted?
I'll thank someone if they post multiple pics in a thread, but usually I only click thanks if I've download something like a rapidshare link.
The reason I wonder is because one of my screen grabs can have an number of thanks posted but then when I check my file manager to check the number of downloads, there's none.
Just thought that that was weird.

Thanks

I use the "Thanks" button whenever someone posts something that I like. Also, many times I will Thank someone if the say something or make a point that I agree with.
