On forum etiquette and "Likes."

[slym2none]

I would think the implications of starting a sentence with the word "well" would be the same as "so".

IOW, it was a joke. That's OK, no one gets my humour but me anyway, so I knew it would only be funny to me.

I got it. I just couldn't resist a "well actually..." joke, which also may have been poorly-executed.

 

[PlexVector]

FTFY.

Is starting a post with "well" allowed, or is it only when followed by "actually..."?

Actually the rules are that if you are not quite sure then you start a post with so if it's a deep subject then the post starts with well however actually is used only if its substantiated by double blind experiments and correlational research and well actually probably has confounding variables but close enough for government standards.

well I think that's right so what was actually the question again?

Nice UserTitle.

I have to say, though, I am a bit disappointed. I thought for sure when I translated it that it was going to be something profane. :cross:

Epic? Not really. I hope to hell it doesn't become a Please Delete, because I'm bored with it already.

I already forgot what it was about.

Giving a "like" to something that has helped you, or something you think is creative or funny, is an easy way to show appreciation, for sure. I know I lurked around for a while before I started to post things just because I didn't think I had enough experience to really add anything to a conversation or question. Then I realized that there are many ways to brew and everyone brews for different reasons. My own techniques and processes work for me and may become helpful tidbits to others. I help others because others have helped me and paying that forward is a good thing to do. If I don't get a "like" or a "thank you" then that's fine. I'm helping others because it's what this forum is for and it's how this forum stays alive.

Oh hell no!!

Don't try to get this thread back on topic!!!

[JohanTheMighty]

I think it's important to understand that not only are a lot of us ignorant some things, like I just learned right now that I can "like" replies even though I've been darting in and out of here for advice for a couple years now... some of us simply don't notice features that are not painfully obvious to us. That's probably why I never knew I could like a reply, I wasn't focused on anything but the information I requested, and I always felt like a heart felt "Thank you so much!" was enough.

 

[chisena]

Yes [emoji140]

 

[PlexVector]

oops [emoji90]

 

[Hoppity]

Oh, I wish I could thank somebody, then 'like' my post for emphasis. Or is that what the is for?

Hello my name is Bob, I am a Like Whore, I am a Post Whore, I am a WHORE!
Embrace me

 

[Orthobrewsky]

Dang it! I've just noticed that I've given more than twice as many likes as I've received. Now it looks like I like people more than they like me. How pathetic. And to make matters worse, now everyone is going to think I'm trying to get likes with this post, but I won't get any and...dang it!

[unionrdr]

So I guess that makes me a post & like ho'?

 

[kombat]

It certainly wasn't my intent when I started this thread, but I now wonder if my first post has set the record for most "likes" of a single post. Anyone know of any with more?

Liked!

Hey, I just learned you can click on the "x likes this" and see who has given their like to what post!

Post #6 in this thread.

 

[LAHammer]

I bet this thread has a better likes per post average than any other thread...

...at least

:fro:

 

[Jq1n]

I'm a noob and didn't even notice the "like" button til now.

Notice it. Use it. Like it.

 

[j1n]

i dont care if i get a like, i care more about them taking my advice esp when i think its good advice that im giving. But sometimes getting a like is acknowledgement that they took or considered the advice i gave.

 

[meatcleaver]

I confess that I sometimes feel a little jilted when someone posts a question, and I post a long, multi-paragraph response, and they come back with a "Thanks!", but no "like." I feel like if I helped them, the least they could do is show appreciation with a "like." Is that a reasonable expectation, or am I being overly sensitive?

Overly sensitive, yes absolutely
