I've never seen it abused to the degree it is here. Meanwhile, in the rest of the world, it's used for occasional emphasis to draw attention to a particularly salient point and that's about the extent of its use. Thanks.

There was some guy (I forget his name) who kept creating topics about the same thing in rapid succession. Someone decided to respond in every topic with the text:

> Keep it to one thread, please. Thanks.

The guy responded with an excuse, but followed it up with "Thanks". From there, everybody started ending posts with "Thanks".

I think it can mean 'thanks in advance' when used at the end of a request.
