Yah, I chose the "I believe that if someone took time out of their day to leave you a nice comment/helpful critique, then you should thank them no matter what." COS I THINK IT'S COO AND STUFF. BUT I'M LIKE PART OF THE SOCIALLY AWKWARD PEOPLE. x"D

"I believe that if someone took time out of their day to leave you a nice comment/helpful critique, then you should thank them no matter what."

Especially when it comes to people who get quite a few pages of comments on their work, I don't often expect to get a reply- though getting a simple 'thank you' is always really nice! ^-^
I don't even always reply to all my comments. I mean, if it's just a 'cool' or 'nice', and if I have a small number of comments already it seems a little redundant to me to be posting a bunch of simple 'thank yous'. But I guess maybe I should get into the habit of replying to every one I get- I mean, I still appreciate even the little ones, eh? :3

~The meek shall inherit the earth, but the strong shall inherit the sea

I like this option: I believe that if someone took time out of their day to leave you a nice comment/helpful critique, then you should thank them no matter what.
I didn't actually vote for it, but yeah. I can understand not replying to dumb comments like "cool" or "cute ^__^," especially if it's a really popular artist or whatever.
But I hate it when someone leaves a legitimate comment they've put effort and thought into and gets ignored (especially if it's me leaving it, hah). Although even that I'll let go, if there isn't anything to actually reply to, it's okay to skip the "thanks." But you should always answer questions in comments and at least thank the people, especially if they comment on your artwork regularly.

*highfives* RIGHT ON! :'DDD We're cool beans. I can't stand it when people don't even try to show their appreciation. It's like in real life when someone compliments a person, they don't just stare stonily ahead, do they? (unless there's a serious problem or something 0.o) LOL xD; Maybe I'm just thinking about it too much though.

It's so awesome that you make an effort to comment when you maybe didn't want to omg *molests you* ;w;

The little ones can seem a bit pointless sometimes, especially when it's like 'CUTE' or 'kawaii *w*'. I wouldn't be sure whether to say thanks for commenting, because it barely is a comment, you know? xD; It's better than nothing though, I suppose. :3 And your right, it's so lovely to be thanked - It makes it all worthwhile! ^o^

HAHA EF CH'YEAH. I think the same exact thing. I just don't know how to reply to like every comment that says just "pretty!" I just stare at them going. "Hmmmmm.... What the hell should I say." >8 [

BUT YAH, THANKS FOR MOLESTING ME. *attempts to molest back*

I've seen that happen so often! A person leaves such a sweet and well thought out comment, and they don't get anything in return for their efforts. Not a single thank you ;A; It feels like they just wasted their time even trying to get in touch at all. Ah, and one worded comments are annoying to see, I agree! xD;

I can sort of understand the short comments though - it's noticable in the more popular artist's work that they receive loads of brief, hasty comments that don't really do much. I think it's because people just don't want to waste time typing out what they really think when it's not even going to be read/answered. In that case it's really the artist's fault I suppose :/

Ooagh- I can't bring myself to give proper replies to anyone who litters their comments with Japanese words ._.;
But sometimes I know it's hard for people to write whole lot- though I guess it shouldn't be too hard for them to write a proper sentence instead of just one word.

I find the one-worded or random comments very annoying. xD I can never decide whether I should actually thank them or not.

Yeah, I think it depends a lot on the artist. I will even check past works to see if they're the type to respond to comments when I decide whether or not to leave one. x: I don't want to waste my time.
The other really annoying thing is when they ignore any comments but the ones from their friends. =/

People who only write short comments sort of shoot themselves in the foot, I suppose - they don't make themselves clear on whether it's a compliment or not It's even worse when they comment in Japanese or something, when they aren't even from there. 8| Like 'Kawaii desu desu ne~ KYAAA!' I draw the line at that, for sure! xD *shot*
