Yes, I know that I have begun a few Threads lately, and people want to ignore them (because of myself!?)... It does not matter that this Thread has no replies. Extra advice Posted is useful of course, however.
I am only Posting a sort of message here, Thank You all. (This is a sort of FYI-Thread, for the plenty of people who do not know.)
1 - IF YOU SEE A POST WHICH YOU LIKE, THEN PLEASE VOTE IT UP / UPVOTE IT.
There are two arrows below a Post. Touch the UP arrow, until the number of "LIKES" goes up by one, and the Arrow turns Red/Pink. Then, do not touch it again, else the "Vote"-Number shall go down again. Always pay attention to this.
...People appreciate being "UpVoted" here.
2 - IF YOU REALLY LIKE A POST, THEN UPVOTE IT AND (IF YOU CAN) POST A REPLY.
...We honestly do not mind how long or short a Reply is, in this Forum. After an UpVote, a Reply may simply be: "Yes.", or "Thank You", or "I agree with part of that.". Any Reply at all (which is not a "rude word"!)
...People appreciate acknowledgment here, no matter how small.
(Editing a Reply is done via checking the "MORE" Word beneath your own Post, and then the Post may be Edited or Deleted.)
4 - IF A POST OR THREAD SEEMS TO BREAK ANY OF THE COMMUNITY RULES, NAS SAYS TO "REPORT AS ABUSIVE".
...If this Thread continues, I would discuss this, and what happens to "Deleted Users"... I could easily have been one of these myself early on!
That is all for now. Yes, I missed out a Number 3., I know that. Again I say that Replies are not necessary and this is FYI (For Your Information).
Edit: I have Edited Number 4. Sorry for my confusion, before.
Disambiguating Cynosure said:TO HATE A POST, NAS SAYS TO "REPORT AS ABUSIVE".
You can dislike a post without it being abusive. In that case, I guess you'd vote it down. However, I don't think you should vote down a post just because you disagree with it.
Sorry, but I just have to know. Why did you miss number 3 on purpose? Do you have a thing about that number?
I'm sorry but I don't really agree with your 2. Just saying "I agree" adds nothing to the conversation. I think if you're going to state that you agree with something, you should at least say why or add to the discussion in some way. Otherwise, people see that there has been a new reply to the thread and have to search through the whole thread just to see that someone said "Yes" or "Thank you" or "I agree."
Greetings, DC16. I am replying to everyone in order so far, here, thus yours is the first.
You were right... "voting down" might be the number 3 thing, there. And as you may see, I have amended what I wrote. What might be number Three is a good topic for discussion, and this Thread was begun to point out what I said via 1 and 2. But I was, as I said, confused and offered an apology over what I wrote about "Reporting hated Posts as Abusive".
When I begin a Thread, it is usually in Anger, or Frustration, or Confusion or Curiosity. ..For this here Thread, it would be "Frustration" somewhat, since I still very much stand by what I wrote as Numbers 1 and 2...!
Note to all: DragonCat16 correctly quotes what I deleted/amended before! I can only keep apologising for it... I try to be useful but I do admit that I am not great/perfect... and I do not work for NAS, either...! :-/
