Do you thank people for answering your questions on Quora?
Do we have to thank you for every answer we receive from Quora users?No, Quora is a question and answer site. Its whole existence revolves around the spread of knowledge from those who know and have answers, to those who want to know and have questions. If a question is asked, and you don’t know the answer, just pass on it - you don’t have any sort of responsibility to answer if you don’t know. Similarly, if several answers are written for a question, and you have first hand knowledge that you believe would add some further value, then you should write your own answer, rather than just add comments to other people’s answers.If someone has been particularly helpful with their answer to “your” question, then you can either:Upvote their answerThank themor both - but there is no compunction that you “must” do any of these.It’s a bit like going to work - your employer has to pay you for the work you do, but he doesn’t need to thank you for coming in every day…Although sometimes, it’s nice when he does, and lets you know he appreciates your work…:-D

Gracias por responder mi pregunta en Yahoo respuestas
Should you thank those that answer your questions on Quora by upvoting and/or using the “Send Thanks” feature?
We all indeed have our own norms, and can only report on how we understand them. OTOH, our norms about upvotes and thanks didn’t come from nowhere. They came from other online fora we’ve already been using (Facebook certainly), and our societal norms of reciprocity and tokens of belonging to a community.Yes, OP, I want to put a framework up for why we do what we do. I tend to do that.Quora posits that questions aren’t the asker’s, but the community’s, and makes sure that the interface suppresses any sense that the question belongs to the asker. Including hiding the question’s author, and letting anyone edit it.But that’s not human nature. Human nature still treats an answer as a transaction between a questioner and an asker. People still reference OPs and A2A’ers—much as I’m doing with you, Mary.(I still think that “fuck is racist” commenter was trolling you, btw.)And if you accept that transactional nature of a question on Quora, then you accept that the answer is doing a service, not just to Quoradom (and to the bots that Quora Inc is training), but to the asker. And the asker needs the service, since, as Yishan Wong's answer to Why are my questions not answered on Quora? puts it,Quora is a great place to write answers and to read answers, but it is not a good place to get your own questions answered.So, if you’ve done the asker a service, a gesture of acknowledgement from the asker is reasonable to expect. I know that, whenever I see an answer of mine with zero upvotes, my first reaction is “… it wasn’t that bad an answer”; my second reaction is “… I guess my upvoter posse doesn’t frequent that topic.”And my third reaction is: “Screw you, OP.” Because they, of all people, should be acknowledging that I answered them.(And when they comment instead of upvoting, I then think “Screw you, n00b OP.”)I treat the Thank You button as a rarer emphatic, like Michael Masiello does. I only became aware of it when I started getting it from the impeccably polite Edward Conway. I use it rarely—less when an answer is amazing (that tends to get a public comment), than when an answer represents a unique contribution, that noone else would likely have given. The fact it’s private rather than public becomes part of its meaning.But then, like a good structuralist, I accept that meaning is all about the paradigm. Quora put that Thank You button in there, I guess I have to find a distinctive meaning for it somehow.
I thank all of you for answering my question...freud was weird..right?
Thank you all for answering my question regarding "penis envy" It is my opinion that freud was obsessed with sex. I also remeber reading that he was a cocaine addict when I attended coledge. Perhaps his mind was warped,to begin with. What do you think? was freud obsessed with sex?
How can you say thank you for answering?
If you are talking about here, someone recently thanked me for an answer using COMMENT, and I really appreciated that she took time to do that
