Giving feedback on questions

[FairyCrystal]

I tend to like the group of people in the card reading 'department' but I must say I find it disappointing that so many ask for help and NEVER give any reply as to whether the help received resonated, or not.
Even if you don't reply to everyone who has posted, at the very least you can react once to let people know you've read it and appreciate it.
Maybe it's me, but I find it common decency that when you ask a question you react like in real life you'd also say something, like "Thank you!"
A bit of gratefulness goes a long way in life when people help you.

Couldn't agree with you more, it's just plain rude. Which is one of the reasons I generally don't bother to answer specific posts asking for help on readings. Some people seem to feel entitled and don't even bother replying after others have put their time and effort into responding to their posts. Very sad state of affairs.

It is polite to followup on threads :)

I can see though, from the broader 'casual user' perspective that they're not as invested as us die-hard tarot fans; they are more likely to go through particular moments of uncertainty or need (thereby posting on SF) but then move on when that particular moment has passed. Whereas for people like you and me, tarot is a more regular part of life, so we tend to check back more regularly.

The practice threads are nice because they tend to attract more of the regulars, so the "enjoyability" factor is consistently higher :) (a safer bet if you get frustrated by lack of followup)

Yes, I get how it comes to be, and I agree that it is likely a spur of the moment thing. Doesn't make it less annoying or rude.
I've seen it from regulars as well btw...

I'm getting there as well (not bothering anymore).

I try to give feedack as much as I can. I apologize if I missed some replies. I find I often "finish" threads lol. I'll reply but no one comments back. I'm apparently a thread killer lol

Hihi on another forum we made a thread for that as there was more people who said the same thing.
I'm often the thread killer too.
Such things are typical. There seem to be people who are really good at starting topics, others that help fill them, and apparently people who kill them, hihi.
But starting successful topics, not everyone seems to be able to do that. I'm usually not good at it either, while when others start the replies come in at the speed of light and it goes on for days or weeks, page after page.

Hehehe, well I'm relieved to hear it's not just me! I'm also sorry to hear it happens to you too though. I guess there is worse than that in the world hehehe.

I'm really glad you posted this. I don't think about giving feedback unless it is asked for, and many of us needs the practice and input.
