I should probably stop doing it Hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-pros-and-cons-discussion-below#post-601476 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:14:48 +0000 T.H.O.U. 601476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind using the term "this" if the quote or statement you are quoting is easily referenced. Like we talked about on the other thread, I think on HB it doesn't make sense because you have to scroll up to find out what the person is commenting on because there is no quote feature here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-pros-and-cons-discussion-below#post-601466 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:13:57 +0000 honeybear 601466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would prefer that commenters who agree with my stellar points write something along the lines of "Honeybear is a rockstar!" or perhaps "Brilliant exposition, Honeybear!" rather than "This!", because who doesn't like their ego stroked now and again, right? ;) But seriously, I don't care. The lack of editors is what makes the Internet interesting. </p> <p>I think it would be kind of unfortunate to go the way of a "Like" or "Dislike" tag here. I'm fine if someone has a different view on things than I do, but if they want to publicly disagree with me, they should have to articulate their reasons why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-pros-and-cons-discussion-below#post-601416 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:05:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 601416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use it! It's like hitting the "like" button, but for forums like this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-pros-and-cons-discussion-below#post-601406 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:03:34 +0000 tororojo 601406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: umm...mayonnaise? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-pros-and-cons-discussion-below#post-601392 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:02:16 +0000 Pepper 601392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted neutral. I've used it before, but only when someone has expressed the exact sentiment that I wanted to convey. I generally go with "I agree with x."</p> <p>I actually dislike "+1" a lot more, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-pros-and-cons-discussion-below#post-601391 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:01:38 +0000 sorrycharlie 601391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do once in awhile! But generally I'll elaborate more. I don't care when people do :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-pros-and-cons-discussion-below#post-601364 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:58:36 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 601364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not really understand THIS at first on HB, but I guess it's one way of "liking" a comment. I would love to "like" some of the comments similar to FB or thumbs up or down rating like YouTube. Since hearts are, already used to earmark threads, what about using gold stars? Or "rotten tomato" style: sad jack o lalantern disagree, happy jack o lantern agree since you like pumpkins? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-pros-and-cons-discussion-below#post-601359 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:58:11 +0000 autumnlove 601359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I abhor it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-pros-and-cons-discussion-below#post-601352 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:57:45 +0000 blackbird 601352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! Why repeat something if it's already been said, and said well? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-pros-and-cons-discussion-below#post-601341 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:56:17 +0000 .twist. 601341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: Ok, what do you reeeeeeeeally hate? </p> <p>I voted #2 as well, although I HAVE used it. I just don't very often to almost never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-pros-and-cons-discussion-below#post-601326 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:54:26 +0000 chopsuey 601326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never heard people saying "THIS!" Until I joined HB.<br /> I think it's weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-pros-and-cons-discussion-below#post-601307 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:51:26 +0000 tororojo 601307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted #2. But I really want to abhor something with the passion of a thousand dying suns. Someone should post another poll where I can vote that option? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-pros-and-cons-discussion-below#post-601298 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:49:29 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 601298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This! (Just kidding)... I never heard of it until WB and don't use it... but don't care if others do.</p> <p>You could add +1 as a similar thing. Never saw it until here, but knew what it meant. Don't really care whether people use that either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-pros-and-cons-discussion-below#post-601295 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:49:17 +0000 Arden 601295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heh, I do this. I never realized it bugged other people. Oops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-pros-and-cons-discussion-below#post-601294 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:49:15 +0000 Bao 601294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really use it, I don't care when people do though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-pros-and-cons-discussion-below#post-601292 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:49:05 +0000 tysonja 601292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol. i don't use it (i've only ever seen it on hb?), but i don't mind it! i guess i think it's kind of sassy and cute. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-pros-and-cons-discussion-below#post-601282 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:47:47 +0000 mrbee 601282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've noticed a number of people don't like it when people respond, "THIS!" to threads.<br /> <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=this" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=this</a></p> <p>Others love it though... it's a divisive issue in modern society. I thought as a first step, we'd gather some data.</p> <p>Do you use the phrase "this" to agree with people on the internets? </p>
