Hello there, and welcome to an FA service similar to "No-Notes", though there's no drama at all here.
There's no need to watch this -- all it takes is dropping the icon in your profile to help the artists you adore understand that your +fav or +watch doesn't require a shout of thanks.
It is, in fact, an encouragement to make a more personal thanks... anything from a nice note (if such are permissible) to some kind comment on a journal or submission.
Want to wow your patrons and fans? Note them or praise (or constructively encourage) their own artwork, instead of shouting. Notes and comments are relatively permanent in comparison to shouts, and garner more attention. Better yet, these more personal missives help build upon the sense of community that makes FA such a fun place to visit!

spread the word, if you will, and help chill some of the ill. :3
less annoyances and dramatics are always a positive thing. ^^

I know some folks are just trying to be appreciative and nice in making such shouty thanks...
but it's not much more difficult to send a note (which can have a title that can hint at its content) than to shout. :)

I'm both an artist and a commissioner, and a student of communication arts.
One of the things I've learned is that a personal touch always makes a better impression than a form-letter kind of response --
which is what "Thanks for the +fav/+watch" seems to be, to me.

Get it? I was being funny because that's the kind of comment that they leave in the shouts. :P
*snrk*
please pardon my dullness;
it's very late for me, at this moment.
I do appreciate the meta-humor. :3
this whole thing is ha-ha-only-serious to me.

You know, a thank you is a thank you.
For most people, a shout of thanks is a polite gesture, not spam. It's tedious to send a note to thank for every favorite or watch, largely unnecessary, yet leaving no thanks feels rude.
Why anyone would EVER complain about a thank you is beyond my comprehension. @_@

I don't like it because it's annoying and misleading. When I see that I have shouts in my inbox, only to find out it's a ( and yes, for the most part it is) meaningless "thanks for the watch or fave" it's really irritating. It's even more irritating when people do it despite making it obvious that you don't like them. If somebody truly was thankful, they could note you... or they could give you a watch back. I've had people thank me for watches and favorites, but would never in their life ever reply to my comments on either their shouts, submissions or journals. This implies that they don't even care about you other than you being a pure business tool to them which they wouldn't care about otherwise. It's like why ass kissing is annoying.
I would prefer somebody, if they had to, say 'Hey... thank you for the watch! I love art in your gallery." maybe even favorite something to let you know that they've acknowledged you other than as a watcher.

I am not one of those people...I will reply to someone if they respond to my thank-you shout. I also will not leave such shouts on someone's page if their profile says they prefer not to receive them.
Watching someone as a thank-you doesn't always make sense, especially if that person doesn't want to be notified every time the other user posts a journal or submits an art piece.
At the root of my thought process is the simple fact that I feel like I'm supposed to thank people for nice things they do for me. (In this case, favoriting my artwork.) That's how I was raised...to thank people when they do nice things for me.

I agree with you. I honestly don't get this at all. Someone sending you a shout to say thanks means they appreciate your action, and enough to go out of the way to let you know that they care and that it meant something to them, instead of just passing it up. For all you know, you could've just made someone's day. They decide to repay you, and you're basically telling them "Go away, I don't care."
Not many people look at my art, so when someone favorites a piece of mine or watches me, it makes me feel really humbled and happy that they liked it or want to see more of my art. I want them to know that I appreciate them, so I send them a thanks (though it's more for watches to be honest)
When someone thanks me, it makes me feel good knowing that they appreciate me as well.
Why anyone doesn't like that warm feeling is beyond me. ;-;
