ich sag meistens brav danke, und wenn da ein kommentar mehr enthält, wird ausfühlicher geantwortet. :) ich persönlich sehe es als etwas besonderes an, wenn die leute sich die zeit nehmen für einen kommentar. :) und andersrum funktioniert das auch. ^^

Ich spreche kein Deutsch. :(

Sorry, but I only speak English. But it sounds like you like it when people thank you for the comments (assuming that Google didn't screw up the translation).

aw, my bad. confused you with someone else... was a hot day at work, sorry for that. ^^'

and yes, along that line it is. I thank them, because it's special to me that they take their time to comment, and add more to it if they comment specifically, or somesuch. and personally I don't mind getting a "thank you!" as a replay to a comment. ^^

mostly indifference, admittedly

The way I have always felt is that an artist only has themselves to thank for whatever follows and comments they get. I am pretty picky about who i watch, and I don't tend to comment that often either, so when I do it's generally because a submission has given me reason to.

That being said it's not the kind of thing I get up in arms over. I think it's kind of silly to get upset about someone who is just being nice and grateful.

I love it when an artist thanks me for commenting! Knowing that an artist took time from their day to personally thank me for appreciating their work is always nice. And vise versa, I always like to thank those that comment on my work because I genuinely do appreciate their kind words and support c:

I don't usually thank people for comments, just faves and watches. If they do that they get a trilobite. {:|||||x

Doesn't bother me, but I don't see the point unless you specifically want to address something they said... but then I say and do nice things without expecting nor wanting any gratitude; it's an unspoken thing to me. I'm sure some get annoyed for being thanked, and others for not being thanked. Surely most would be indifferent. xD

I love get responses, so if I was thanked, that's awesome! XD I make sure to always respond to comments as well. I try to get to every single one unless they're one worders like "lol", "hi" and random stuff... Lol. I might still even then, but only if I can think of a response. XD;;

As a writer, I am grateful for almost every comment. But I tend to at least pose a question or respond with some substance.

I like to reply to comments I get, but only if that comment contains something that I can answer to in a meaningful way. <.<
I really don't feel annoyed with getting comments whatsoever, as long as it's not intensely stupid.

I usually thank for comments, even though FA's system is not ideal for it. I just like to let people know in a more personal way that I read their comment and very much appreciate them taking some time of their day (even if it's very little time) to leave me a friendly message :3.

That's a really great question and I wanna thank you for asking it...

I'm indifferent to it. But in my experience, if I've commented on something, and gotten a reply, it's usually got more in it than a thanks...and the thanks is kinda a sideline.

When somebody watches me, I usually try to go to their page and thank them for it, because I'm trying to encourage myself to be more grateful. if I notice that their page says not to thank them for watches I just go "Ok then" and don't leave my thanks and that's that. *shrug*

That said, I can't really thank for comments myself, (in the event I were to ever start getting more. XP ) because that would set a precident that I would have to thank for every comment and I don't think I could keep up with that and it would stress me out.

For watches... I wouldn't say I'm annoyed when people say "thanks for the watch," I just feel kind of awkward when it happens. Like, I feel obligated to respond but I don't know them... so my social phobia makes me just not say anything and then I feel like a jerk for ignoring their comment.

When I make comments, though, I rather like it when the artist responds. If I make a comment then I'm trying to communicate with the artist in some way, and I guess it makes me feel like I've done something positive if the artist responds in a positive way. When I know I've made the artist feel good, it makes me feel good, too. So, yes, hearing responses to my comments (not necessarily thanks - if my comment was less positive than I wanted it to be and it bothered the artist somehow, that's feedback I want, too) is a positive experience, and not at all annoying to me.

my personal preference....

getting a shout thanking me for a watch = okay
getting a reply thanking me for a comment = okay

getting a shout thanking me for a fave = weird but okay
getting a shout thanking me for a comment = weird but okay

getting a shout thanking me without any context = just plain weird
getting a note thanking me for a watch = just plain weird

and my all time favorite, and this happened on dA:
getting a shout thanking me just for viewing a gallery, without any other interaction than to skim through the gallery = just, why?!

I like to respond to every comment I get, and if it's a comment that's complimenting me, I'll thank them...though not necessarily for their comment, but for the compliment, because that's polite? I think it's a bit weird to say "Thanks for the comment" or whatever, but I wouldn't care if someone did. And on the opposite, if someone gets upset from me responding to their complimentary comment with a thank you...I don't think I'd know what to say to that.

If someone comments with a question or has some kind of insight you feel compelled to respond to, then of course a response is great. But posting "Thanks" to a hundred people who don't say very much in their comments every time you post artwork will burn you out and doesn't really accomplish anything. I'd respond only judiciously!

I do like being thanked for watches. Sometimes it's a conversation starter. :)

I like being thanked for watches. I don't really do it myself however, since I feel I'm spamming if I can't say something more than "Thanks for the watch!" and post it on multiple accounts simultaneously.

Comments are wonderful.
