Don't compare apples with durian fruit.
It it
you making this comparison, not
I. I just stated that a newbie spamming with "great project" is not the same with a polite member of Collectibles board, expressing his gratitude for having the chance to participate inside a raffle.
Although polite and well mannered... not a fan
Well, that says it all, doesn't it?! It is good to know that you are not a fan of politeness. Thank God, many of us are still polite and appreciate politeness and kindness.
Just writing "Thanks" or a short phrase to express gratitude is pretty much the same thing as "nice project" or "joined" or any of those types of posts which are banned in the altcoin section. But I'm not sure a thank you should automatically be deleted or even reported, because it's not quite as spammy as those other phrases I listed above.
Mbitr's posts, as it already
posted them,
and mine as well, were not just a "Thanks". They were short expressions, yes, but not a single word.
In any case, OP, if you want to thank someone in a post (and I hate to even suggest this), perhaps try padding the post a little bit with more content. At least then it's not likely to get reported and deleted. And yes, moderation here is strict as far as low-value posts go.
And if this would be a workaround, this would mean to actually spam somehow, in order to be allowed to say a thank you, which is exactly the opposite of what raffle participants intended. So this solution means the following:
- raffle participants which are polite thank to the raffle owners;
- their posts are deleted for being considered spam / zero value
- as a workaround, the participants would spam with more words for being able to hide a "thank you"
Makes sense?

Lol.
In my case, one of the three deleted posts
stated the following:
Wow, 9 winners! That's amazing!
Congrats to all of them and thank you OP for this huge and great raffle!
