❝Personally I don't care if my thread gets downvoted, upvoted or anything.
It's just a feature there that I can choose to use or not.
Though I did do a quick search of this, and nothing popped up for me, which is why I made it.
Otherwise, I never make a topic that has already been made :3
And I was genuinely just curious, as I have seen a lot of discussion threads downvoted, and I did not get the reason why.❞
it's a hate/dislike-button sometimes.
people </3 for stupid reasons. sometimes they </3 just because they know it might bother the OP, which I'm guessing is why people </3 quest threads (e.g. what Jacklust above said...which dude, is really petty).
some people </3 just to troll or break the pattern of <3s
there was this thread in SF with like 80+ <3s and no </3...and i was like rooting for it to reach 100 without a single </3, and it did. but soon after someone gave it a </3
xd guess they couldn't resist lol
there is really no one meaning behind <3/</3 so it's hard to judge what it means
for a lot of topic-makers it's a really useless feature. and like Jester I also believe it discourages discussion. it used to be that if you wanted your sentiment known, you posted. but now you can just click a button, like with tipping. it's the lazy man's way out of giving someone your opinion/response. even if your opinion has been said already, the OP would still like to hear it! that's what i think
