Description
I don't always thank people for faving my stuff. Sometimes I just feel like it's useless gesture that doesn't have any purpose.
But when I do, I always make sure to see if people don't want to be thanked.
After all, how rude would it be to post a thank you note if someone doesn't want it? (Okay, there was a bit of sarcasm in that last sentence...)Stamplate: Shiny New Stamplate by `stuck-in-suburbia

I don't, just to be polite. (Which is contradictory.)

You don't thank or you don't check?

I hate when people thank for faves.
I have enough messages to sort through without that spam
I use my profile to actullycommunicate with people- when people thank me for faves I mark it as spam, because that's what it is.
Unless it's a birthday wish, a greeting, a random conversation or a friendly spam letter from someone I know really well, I usually ignore it anyways
Not like there's any real way to reply anyways without sounding like you don't particularlay care :/

There's the people who get mad at every thanks for the fave they get which is pointless, and then there's the people who can legitimately be angry about the obnoxious people who are on an obvious lookout for a quick pageview, like say they make their "Thanks for the fave" with flashy icons and tons of plz accounts and smileys where it just reeks of fakeness.
I think people should respect people's wishes and read the pages first, especially if it's tacked all over the page "No thanks for the fave" type of trinkets and stuff. Now I don't see why people who thank for the fave should get up in a tissy either about it. "OMG ur so rude, how dare you not accept a thank you, you arrogant prick!" I've seen that happen too, and that's just plain wrong. :V

Good idea and good stamp
3/4 of the time now I don't thank. I don't have the time, though I do believe in manners. Some think thanking is spamming up their page. If they feel that way, I respect that and act accordingly. I am not out to offend.

thanks for the stamp
i usually do it like this: of course i don't say 'thank you for the fave' if the person doesn't want it. then, i normally only say it when the person faved several pictures from me and/or watched me.

Me, too. I usually just give llama badges.

I myself dislike commenting on my profile to say "thanks for the fave" but I don't get pissy at those who do.

I don't really mind that much, since I myself thank people for faves occasionally. I just don't get people who get mad about it. Disliking it is okay, since you don't want people flooding your pages with thank yous, but to actually get mad at people over it makes no sense.

It seems such a trivial issue to get mad at, is it not?

I thank anyway. Reguardless. I consider it just manners. When comeone compliments you or does something nice it's polite to say thank you.

I think that's a little rude. That's not being polite, that's just satisfying yourself. The whole point of saying thank you is to show someone you're thankful. If they don't want it, all it's going to do is make them mad(I'm not sure why, though). Why not just avoid anger?

But I get no satisfaction from it. I do from the fave but not from thanking them. And if they get angry then I'll just explain why I said thank you. Saying thank you is my way of saying "You like this enough to fave it, and I appreciate it." Would they prefer I write that? I doubt it. And if I don't say thank you, what would that make me? Un-grateful? But I'm not. So I say it anyway since I am actually grateful. If they get made, I'll explain. And if they are still made I can just say, "Fine. It was just a thank you. No worries."
Also, if they get made I'm not sure I want them faving my work. I hate people who do things or act emotional for no reason. I'd take offense to that.
"Treat how you would treat yourself."

I suppose. I don't think it's that big of an issue, though, and I just don't see the point in making all that drama.

You thank people who specifically ask you not to? then you're actually being IMpolite.
π: 0 β©: 1
But they didn't specifically ask me to. They made a general statement which I choose to ignore based on my own values, that being, I always say thank you when I have given, or taken, something from a person. They gave me a fave, I say thank you to show my appreciation of the fact that they like it enough to do so.

I'm talking about people who DO specifically ask.

Like post on your profile, "don't thank me"? That would be weird. I don't think i would if they did that. O.o
π: 0 β©: 1
I know people who have.

I still feel uneasy not thanking someone, even though they don't want it.

The way I was brought up I guess. I just seems rude to me not to thank someone for faving my stuff.
π: 0 β©: 0
I don't mind them. I don't see why people get angry over though. It's not something to be mad over. They're grateful you 
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't see why people get mad at it, either. *shrug* But if they don't want me to, I won't.

Same here.
