I wish we could send a message to Anon gifters via the gift centre, like we can to known senders,I've been getting a gift 2/3 times a week for 2 months now, I'd love to 'speak' to the person, just to say thanks, or step forward and let me know you lol.

No support.

When I choose Anonymous it is on purpose, so I that am NOT bothered by this kind of response that you are wanting to make.

All y'all got a gift. Now instead of enjoying it it have to make it a sad? The person who gave it didn't want this. Donate it or give it to someone else, please.

There's a Forum thread already for thanking the anonymous gifters, post there.

People gift on anon because they don't want the recipient to know who they are; having them step forward and get to know you would nullify that. I see that you've posted on the "Been anonymously gifted?" thread, which is where people usually post to give thanks to the senders. If the sender is also aware of this thread they will probably check there and read your thanks.

I've been in the same boat where I received regular gifts, spoke to the sender on the anon gift thread, only to have them gift me again and carry on the conversation that way. Eventually they identified themself and we became friends. If they want you to know who they are, they will manually reveal themselves to you. :)

There is a way - it's the B & C boards but I'd like a more direct way of telling the anon thanks than that, tbph.

I can easily see this feature getting abused and ruining the whole purpose of the "anon" element. No support.

no support either. I love sending gifts Anon.

I would not wish to know the people I was behind that special gift!

It sounds like it would be a nice idea, but I bet anon gifters would be inundated with "please tell me who you are" etc, which is precisely the reason they choose anon in the first place. I'm sure that anon gifters assume you will be grateful without the need for a messaging system.

Nope nope nope nope nope.

I also prefer people not knowing what alias I use to send gifts. On top of that, I scour news comments during TS restocks (depending on the restock) for people are unable to get something or messed up something so I can send them what they wanted. One particular instance of this, a new item came out around Pandemic, it was a wearable food. A user fed it to their pet without seeing if it was a wear or what have you. I bought another and sent it anonymously, out of kindness. Do I know if they left a thank-you message somewhere? Nope. Do I care that they didn't leave a post? Not really. I don't need any sort of direct thank-you, because I don't need my ego to be stoked, I just want to spread the kindness.

The only reason I go check the anon gift thread is to make sure the item made it to the correct person (this is a constant worry of mine lol). But I don't want to bother them, nor do I want them to know it was me. I'll stick to being an anonymous gift-leaving creeper.

No thank you. I don't like having to respond to a thank you message. I'm happy you like your gift but I don't want to have to be all "you're welcome!!!" if I can help it. It feels weird and I don't want to draw attention to the fact that it was me, even if the messages stay anonymous. idk that might just be me but no just let me send anon gifts in peace.

If I happen to notice a thank you post, I generally "like" it but I don't want to have to leave any more of a response than that and I would feel pressured to if I were getting a direct "thank you" message.

Also I left a lot of random gifts under lumi trees last year because I feel bad seeing someone with an empty tree but I got a fuckload of events with thank you messages and I will not be doing that again holy shit. So no I really don't want to relive that if I ever go out of my way to send a lot of anon gifts out.

Nah. Even if the messages between the two users didn't reveal the gifter's UN, someone could use the feature to beg for more gifts. I know begging is against the rules, but I'm sure some people would abuse the feature and do it anyway.

Anonymous gifting is one of the things I enjoy most about Subeta (giving and getting!) This feature would just take the "magic" away from it ;)

Like others have said, stick to the forum, that way the gifter can go read your thank you in their own time. No annoying notifications, etc.

As much as this would be nice.. Basically what everyone said above. Anon's would probably be bombed back with those types of questions. I understand the feeling though, wanting to thank them, because maybe they don't use the forums? But at the same time, they probably did it, knowing they wouldn't need any thanks. x3

No support.

When I send anon gifts its because I don't want to be thanked, or reciprocated in any way. This would defeat 90% of the reasons to send an anon gift.

Mostly I vote no support as well but, on the other hand, if it were to be implemented, how about just a drop down menu with messages like "thank you!" "Omg that made my day!" And so on, kind of like at lumi. I only say this as a recipient of anon gifts when offline. I want them to know I appreciate it and I post a thank you in my status but don't go to the thread. As an anon gifter, I would be ok with an automated thank you just to know they got it and it was appreciated.

I'd like a drop down menu with some basic choices , like the one we have for mysterious melody. But it should be possible for the users to block that feature if they don't want to get 100.000 notifications, in case they're serial gifters, lol.

I can understand wanting to know who the person is and thanking them, I've thought that too with anon's. It's just a natural instinct to want to thank someone for a present they send and didn't have to. On the other hand, it's Anon for a reason, and some really don't need or want credit or their identity revealed and chose Anon for that reason.

Only way I could think of this working was to have an added option in which the Anon could choose to check that would identify them if the person wants to know.. and.. that just sounds really complicated to an already complicated coded system, and honestly kind of pointless to the entire general idea of Anon.

I'd take the suggestion someone else already posted, and make a thank you post in the Forums :) Some might not want credit or do it for that reason, but sometimes it may be nice for them to see that you got it and appreciated it, and might make them happy to see it.

As far as Mysterious Melody is concerned (I saw it mentioned in the post above mine), there are still kinks in that system in general. As far as there needing to be something for those that abuse the feature and never reciprocate (not talking about forgetting or getting busy, life happens <3! More like a 3-strike thing).. anyway, that's an entire other can of worms that doesn't need to be opened here and just wanted to point out that the two don't have anything to do with each other X/

It's already been said, but I'll go ahead and say no to this as well. It's anonymous. I mean, I dunno, if I'm sending a gift incognito then I don't need a thank-you. There's a thread in Bragging and Complaining just for that anyway and I sometimes do look through it to see if someone posted and in return I'll like the post.

No support. Anon gifting is not the place for messages, IMO.
