When I click on announcement threads of important patch notes updates or other things I have to scroll through about 5 pages of pure "wow thanks devs" - "thank you" -"wow great job" posts with no other substance in the reply before I find a reply with any actual value to read.
It would be nice to click on a thread and find information instead of mindless spam. They don't need your personal thank you replies, all it does is shit up the thread.
